23
24 (((
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.

243 == 2.2  Typical Network Setup ==
244
245 === 2.2.1  Overview ===
246
247
248 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:
249
250 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
251 * **WiFi Client Mode**
252 * **Cellular Mode**
253
254 === 2.2.2  Use WAN port to access Internet ===
255
256
257 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**(%%):
258

261
262
263 === 2.2.3  Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
264
265
266 In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
267
268 The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)**Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi**

273
274
275 === 2.2.4  Use built-in 4G modem for internet access ===
276
277
278 (% style="color:blue" %)**Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4**
279
280 Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
281
282
283 If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
284
285 First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
286
287 Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.

807
808
809 [[image:image-20220920135918-1.png]]
810
811
812 This is caused by the inconsistency between the built-in TTN-Stack domain configuration and your login URL.
813
814 By default, ttn-stack uses the gateway's domain name for URL resolution, but in some networks, they prefer to resolve IP-v4 addresses.
815
816
817 So you can change the domain name of the TTN-Stack configuration to the IPv4 address.
