23
24 (((
25 (((
26 The LPS8v2 is an (% style="color:blue" %)**open-source LoRaWAN Gateway**(%%). It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network to an IP network via (% style="color:blue" %)**WiFi , Ethernet or Cellular Network**(%%) (via Optional 4G module). The LoRa wireless allows users to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data rates.
27 )))
28
29 (((
30 The LPS8v2 is fully compatible with LoRaWAN protocol. It supports different kinds of LoRaWAN Network Connections such as: (% style="color:blue" %)**Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder, LoRaWAN Basic Station, ChirpStack MQTT Bridge**(%%), and so on. This makes LPS8V2 work with most LoRaWAN platforms in the market.
31 )))
32
33 (((
34 LPS8v2 also includes a (% style="color:blue" %)**built-in LoRaWAN Server and IoT server**(%%), which provide the possibility for the system integrator to deploy the IoT service without cloud service or 3rd servers.
35 )))
36
37 (((
38 Different countries use different LoRaWAN frequency bands. LPS8v2 has these bands pre-configured. Users can also customize the frequency bands to use in their own LoRa network.

252 == 2.2  Typical Network Setup ==
253
254 === 2.2.1  Overview ===
255
256
257 LPS8-V2 supports flexible network set up for different environment. This section describes the typical network topology can be set in LPS8-V2. The typical network set up includes:
258
259 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
260
261 * **WiFi Client Mode**
262
263 * **Cellular Mode**
264
265 === 2.2.2  Use WAN port to access Internet ===
266
267
268 By default, the LPS8-V2 is set to use the WAN port to connect to an upstream network. When you connect the LPS8-V2's WAN port to an upstream router, LPS8-V2 will get an IP address from the router and have Internet access via the upstream router. The network status can be checked in the (% style="color:blue" %)**home page**(%%):
269
270
271 [[image:image-20230411100633-2.png||height="501" width="935"]]
272
273
274 === 2.2.3  Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
275
276
277 In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
278
279 The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)**Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi**

283 In the WiFi Survey Choose the WiFi AP, and input the Passphrase then click(% style="color:blue" %)** Save & Apply**(%%) to connect.
284
285
286 === 2.2.4  Use built-in 4G modem for internet access ===
287
288
289 (% style="color:blue" %)**Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4**
290
291 Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
292
293
294 If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
295
296 First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
297
298 Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.
