25 (((
26 The LPS8v2 is an (% style="color:green" %)**open-source LoRaWAN Gateway**(%%). It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network to an IP network via (% style="color:green" %)**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:green" %)**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:green" %)**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.

224 == 2.2  Typical Network Setup ==
225
226 === 2.2.1  Overview ===
227
228
229 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:
230
231 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
232 * **WiFi Client Mode**
233 * **Cellular Mode**
234
235 === 2.2.2  Use WAN port to access Internet ===
236
237
238 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**(%%):
239
240

242
243
244 === 2.2.3  Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
245
246
247 In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
248
249 The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)**Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi**

254
255
256 === 2.2.4  Use built-in 4G modem for internet access ===
257
258
259 (% style="color:blue" %)**Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4**
260
261 Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
262
263
264 If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
265
266 First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
267
268 Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.

767
768
769 This is caused by the inconsistency between the built-in TTN-Stack domain configuration and your login URL.
770
771 By default, ttn-stack uses the gateway's domain name for URL resolution, but in some networks, they prefer to resolve IP-v4 addresses.
772
773
774 So you can change the domain name of the TTN-Stack configuration to the IPv4 address.
