35.1	252
26.1	253
165.1	254	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	255
165.1	256	* WAN Port Internet Mode
205.5	257
165.1	258	* WiFi Client Mode
205.5	259
165.1	260	* Cellular Mode

	263
165.1	264	=== 2.2.2 Use WAN port to access Internet ===
	265
	266
	267	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(%%):

	272
	273	=== 2.2.3 Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
	274
	275
	276	In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
	277
	278	The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi

	286
	287
165.2	288	(% style="color:blue" %)Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4
165.1	289
	290	Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
	291
	292
	293	If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
	294
	295	First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
	296
	297	Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.

112.1	862	This is caused by the inconsistency between the built-in TTN-Stack domain configuration and your login URL.
	863
	864	By default, ttn-stack uses the gateway's domain name for URL resolution, but in some networks, they prefer to resolve IP-v4 addresses.
	865
	866
	867	So you can change the domain name of the TTN-Stack configuration to the IPv4 address.
	868
	869	Click the update URL button to configure the URL with the current eth port address.
