35.1	246
26.1	247
165.1	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:
26.1	249
165.1	250	* WAN Port Internet Mode
205.5	251
165.1	252	* WiFi Client Mode
205.5	253

	255
	256	=== 2.2.2 Use WAN port to access Internet ===
	257
	258
	259	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(%%):

	264
	265	=== 2.2.3 Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
	266
	267
	268	In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
	269
	270	The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi

	278
	279
165.2	280	(% style="color:blue" %)Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4
165.1	281
	282	Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
	283
	284
	285	If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
	286
	287	First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
	288
	289	Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.

113.2	828
112.1	829	This is caused by the inconsistency between the built-in TTN-Stack domain configuration and your login URL.
	830
	831	By default, ttn-stack uses the gateway's domain name for URL resolution, but in some networks, they prefer to resolve IP-v4 addresses.
	832
	833
	834	So you can change the domain name of the TTN-Stack configuration to the IPv4 address.
	835
	836	Click the update URL button to configure the URL with the current eth port address.
