165.1	247	=== 2.2.1 Overview ===
35.1	248
26.1	249
165.1	250	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	251
165.1	252	* WAN Port Internet Mode
205.5	253
165.1	254	* WiFi Client Mode
205.5	255

215.2	259
165.1	260	=== 2.2.2 Use WAN port to access Internet ===
	261
	262
	263	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(%%):

	268
	269	=== 2.2.3 Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
	270
	271
	272	In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
	273
	274	The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi

	282
	283
165.2	284	(% style="color:blue" %)Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4
165.1	285
	286	Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
	287
	288
	289	If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
	290
	291	First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
	292
	293	Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.

112.1	889
113.2	890
112.1	891	This is caused by the inconsistency between the built-in TTN-Stack domain configuration and your login URL.
	892
	893	By default, ttn-stack uses the gateway's domain name for URL resolution, but in some networks, they prefer to resolve IP-v4 addresses.
	894
	895
	896	So you can change the domain name of the TTN-Stack configuration to the IPv4 address.
	897
	898	Click the update URL button to configure the URL with the current eth port address.
