23
24 (((
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.

243 == 2.2  Typical Network Setup ==
244
245 === 2.2.1  Overview ===
246
247
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:
249
250 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
251
252 * **WiFi Client Mode**
253
254 * **Cellular Mode**
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**(%%):
260
261
262 [[image:image-20230411100633-2.png||height="501" width="935"]]
263
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**
271
272 [[image:image-20230411095739-1.png||height="264" width="691"]]
273
274 In the WiFi Survey Choose the WiFi AP, and input the Passphrase then click(% style="color:blue" %)** Save & Apply**(%%) to connect.
275
276
277 === 2.2.4  Use built-in 4G modem for internet access ===
278
279
280 (% style="color:blue" %)**Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4**
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.

657
658 If the frequency Plan used is CN470, US915, AU915, or AS923, the user needs to choose a frequency sub-band, because the frequency Sub Band of ChirpStack starts from 0, so for example, us915_1 corresponds to the actual frequency US915_2.

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.
