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.
31 )))
32
33 (((
34 LPS8v2 also includes a (% style="color:blue" %)**built-in LoRaWAN Server and IoT server**(%%), which provide the possibility for the system integrator to deploy the IoT service without cloud service or 3rd servers.
35 )))
36
37 (((
38 Different countries use different LoRaWAN frequency bands. LPS8v2 has these bands pre-configured. Users can also customize the frequency bands to use in their own LoRa network.

245 == 2.2  Typical Network Setup ==
246
247 === 2.2.1  Overview ===
248
249
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:
251
252 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
253
254 * **WiFi Client Mode**
255
256 * **Cellular Mode**
257
258 === 2.2.2  Use WAN port to access Internet ===
259
260
261 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**(%%):
262
263
264 [[image:image-20230411100633-2.png||height="501" width="935"]]
265
266
267 === 2.2.3  Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
268
269
270 In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
271
272 The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)**Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi**
273
274 [[image:image-20230411095739-1.png||height="264" width="691"]]
275
276 In the WiFi Survey Choose the WiFi AP, and input the Passphrase then click(% style="color:blue" %)** Save & Apply**(%%) to connect.
277
278
279 === 2.2.4  Use built-in 4G modem for internet access ===
280
281
282 (% style="color:blue" %)**Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4**
283
284 Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
285
286
287 If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
288
289 First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
290
291 Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.

659
660 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.

830 This is caused by the inconsistency between the built-in TTN-Stack domain configuration and your login URL.
831
832 By default, ttn-stack uses the gateway's domain name for URL resolution, but in some networks, they prefer to resolve IP-v4 addresses.
