30 This is a standard LoRaWAN connection. Gateway will forward all end nodes' data to LoRaWAN server. The LoRaWAN server stores the sensor data and communicate with Application server. The Application server in charge for data process for different industrial solutions.

42 * Examples free public LoRaWAN server is: [[The Things Network>>url:https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/]].
43 * TTN provides the [[integration instruction>>url:https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/applications/integrations.html]] for how to connect to Application servers.

64 Please note LoRaWAN server is for managing device and store sensor data, you still need to link the LoRaWAN server to an application server for your IoT solution to better analize the data and show to final clients.

71
72 (% style="color:blue" %)**Application Scenario**:
73
74 * There is already IoT server but no LoRaWAN server.
75 * Not willing to use public LoRaWAN server nor built own LoRaWAN server.

82
83
84
85 (% style="color:blue" %)**How it works:**
86
87 * a) LPS8v2 already includes a LoRaWAN server (TTN Stack v3). Enable this server in Web UI.
88 * b) Input End Nodes keys in LPS8v2 LoRaWAN server.
89 * c) Configure LPS8v2, End Node and LoRaWAN server frequency plan.
90 * d) Configure local LoRaWAN server to forward data to external Application Server.

139 (% style="color:blue" %)**How it works:**
140
141 * a) LoRaWAN End Nodes runs ABP mode
142 * b) No LoRaWAN server involved.
143 * c) Gateway stores keys from node and decode end nodes' data locally
144 * d) Gateway sends end node data to Application Server.

181
182 * a) LoRa End Node send Raw LoRa packet base on pre-define format
183 * b) No LoRaWAN server involved.
184 * c) Gateway parse the packet and get sensor ID and data.
185 * d) Gateway sends these data to Application Server.
