35.1	254
26.1	255
165.1	256	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:
26.1	257
165.1	258	* WAN Port Internet Mode
	259	* WiFi Client Mode
	260	* Cellular Mode
	261
	262	=== 2.2.2 Use WAN port to access Internet ===
	263
	264
	265	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(%%):

	270
	271	=== 2.2.3 Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
	272
	273
	274	In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
	275
	276	The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi

	284
	285
165.2	286	(% style="color:blue" %)Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4
165.1	287
	288	Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
	289
	290
	291	If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
	292
	293	First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
	294
	295	Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.
