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.

251 == 2.2  Typical Network Setup ==
252
253 === 2.2.1  Overview ===
254
255
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:
257
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**(%%):
266
267

269
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**

280 In the WiFi Survey Choose the WiFi AP, and input the Passphrase then click(% style="color:blue" %)** Save & Apply**(%%) to connect.
281
282
283 === 2.2.4  Use built-in 4G modem for internet access ===
284
285
286 (% style="color:blue" %)**Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4**
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.

815
816
817 [[image:image-20220920135918-1.png]]
818
819
820 This is caused by the inconsistency between the built-in TTN-Stack domain configuration and your login URL.
821
822 By default, ttn-stack uses the gateway's domain name for URL resolution, but in some networks, they prefer to resolve IP-v4 addresses.
823
824
825 So you can change the domain name of the TTN-Stack configuration to the IPv4 address.

847
848 Run the CMD command to ipconfig and ping 172.31.255.254.
