The [toc] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it. 

1. Introduction

1.1 What is LPS8v2

The LPS8v2 is an open-source LoRaWAN Gateway. It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network to an IP network via 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.

The LPS8v2 is fully compatible with LoRaWAN protocol. It supports different kinds of LoRaWAN Network Connections such as: Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder, LoRaWAN Basic Station, ChirpStack MQTT Bridge, and so on. This makes LPS8V2 work with most LoRaWAN platforms in the market.

LPS8v2 also includes a 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.

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.

LPS8v2 supports remote management. System Integrator can easy to remote monitor the gateway and maintain it.

1.4 LED Indicators

LPS8-V2 has totally four LEDs, They are:

➢ Power LED: This RED LED will be solid if the device is properly powered

➢ ETH LED:   This RGB LED will blink GREEN when the ETH port is connecting

➢ SYS LED:   This RGB LED will show different colors in different states:

                     ✓ SOLID GREEN: The device is alive with a LoRaWAN server connection.

                     ✓ BLINKING GREEN: a) Device has internet connection but no LoRaWAN Connection. or b) Device is in booting stage, in this stage, it will BLINKING GREEN for several seconds and then with BLINKING GREEN together

                     ✓ SOLID RED: Device doesn't have an Internet connection.

➢ WIFI LED: This LED shows the WIFI interface connection status.

1.5 Button Intruction

LPS8-V2 has a black toggle button, which is:

➢ Long press 4-5s                   : the gateway will reload the Network and Initialize wifi configuration

                                                      LED status:  ETH LED will BLINKIND BULE Until the reload is finished.

➢ Long press more than 10s:    the gateway will restore the factory settings.

                                                     LED status:  ETH LED will SOLID BULE Until the restore is finished.
