Xiaoye 35.1 231
Xiaoye 26.1 232
Kilight Cao 165.1 233 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 26.1 234
Kilight Cao 165.1 235 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
236 * **WiFi Client Mode**
237 * **Cellular Mode**
238
239 === 2.2.2  Use WAN port to access Internet ===
240
241
242 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 Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
266
267
268 If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
269
270 First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
