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.

248 == 2.2  Typical Network Setup ==
249
250 === 2.2.1  Overview ===
251
252
253 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:
254
255 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
256
257 * **WiFi Client Mode**
258
259 * **Cellular Mode**
260
261 === 2.2.2  Use WAN port to access Internet ===
262
263
264 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**(%%):
265
266
267 [[image:image-20230411100633-2.png||height="501" width="935"]]
268
269
270 === 2.2.3  Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
271
272
273 In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
274
275 The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)**Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi**

279 In the WiFi Survey Choose the WiFi AP, and input the Passphrase then click(% style="color:blue" %)** Save & Apply**(%%) to connect.
280
281
282 === 2.2.4  Use built-in 4G modem for internet access ===
283
284
285 (% style="color:blue" %)**Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4**
286
287 Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
288
289
290 If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
291
292 First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
293
294 Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.

662
663 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.

833 This is caused by the inconsistency between the built-in TTN-Stack domain configuration and your login URL.
834
835 By default, ttn-stack uses the gateway's domain name for URL resolution, but in some networks, they prefer to resolve IP-v4 addresses.
