Xiaoye 35.1 223
Xiaoye 26.1 224
Kilight Cao 165.1 225 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:
Xiaoye 26.1 226
Kilight Cao 165.1 227 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
228 * **WiFi Client Mode**
229 * **Cellular Mode**
230
231 === 2.2.2  Use WAN port to access Internet ===
232
233
234 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**(%%):

240 === 2.2.3  Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
241
242
243 In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
244
245 The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)**Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi**

250
251
252 === 2.2.4  Use built-in 4G modem for internet access ===
253
254
255 (% style="color:blue" %)**Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4**(%%)
256
257 Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
258
259
260 If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
261
262 First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
263
264 Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.
