By default, the LPS8N is set to use the WAN port to connect to an upstream network. When you connect the LPS8N's WAN port to an upstream router, LPS8N 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:#4f81bd" %)**home page**:

ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder is a MQTT packet forwarder for LoRa gateways. By default it forwards packets in Protobuf binary format, optionally it can be configured to use JSON encoding for debugging. In contrast to the ChirpStack Gateway Bridge, this component must always be installed on the gateway.

== 10.3 Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands? ==

1497

1498

1499

It is possible but the distance will be very short, you can select US915 frequency band in 868Mhz version hardware. It will work but you will see the performance is greatly decreased because the 868Mhz version has an RF filter for band 863~~870Mhz, all other frequencies will have high attenuation.

(((

The LPS8N has a fall-back IP address on its WAN port. This IP is always enabled so you can use the fall-back IP to access LPS8N no matter what the WiFi IP is. The fall back IP is useful for connecting and debug the unit.

1557

(% style="color:red" %)**Note: fallback IP can be disabled in the WAN and DHCP page.**

**Steps to connect via fall back IP:**

1562

1563

~1. Connect PC's Ethernet port to LPS8N's WAN port

1564

1565

2. Configure PC's Ethernet port has

1566

IP: 172.31.255.253 and

1567

Netmask: 255.255.255.252

As below photo:

1575

3. In the PC, use IP address 172.31.255.254 to access the LPS8N via Web or Console.

1576

1577

Please note the latest firmware uses port 8000 for http and 2222 for ssh access.
