19 The HP0C is an open-source LoRaWAN Gateway. It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network to an IP network via WiFi, Ethernet. The LoRa wireless allows users to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates.
20
21
22 HP0C has pre-configured standard LoRaWAN frequency bands to use for different countries. Users can also customize the frequency bands to use in their own LoRaWAN network.

73 LPS8-V2 has totally four LEDs, They are:
74
75
76 //**➢ Power LED**: This RED LED will be solid if the device is properly powered//
77
78
79 //**➢ LoRa LED**: This RGB LED will blink GREEN when the LoRaWAN module starts or transmit a packet//
80
81
82 //**➢ SYS LED**: This RGB LED will show different colors in different states~://
83
84 // ✓ SOLID BLUE: The device is alive with a LoRaWAN server connection.//
85
86 // ✓ BLINKING BLUE: a) Device has internet connection but no LoRaWAN Connection. or b) Device is in booting stage, in this stage, it will BLINKING BLUE for several seconds and then with SOLID RED and BLINKING BLUE together//
87
88 // ✓ SOLID RED: Device doesn’t have an Internet connection.//
89
90
91 //**➢ ETH LED**: This LED shows the ETH interface connection status.//

94 = **2. Quick Start** =
95
96 The LPS8-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and runs without a network.
97
98 In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the lps8-v2 accessible to the network.
99
100
101 == **2.1 Connects to the network and accesses the gateway Web UI** ==
102
103
104 == **2.1.1 connect the network.** ==
105
106 === ===
107
108 === **Method 1**: Connect via Ethernet with DHCP IP from the router ===
109
110 Connect the LPS8-V2 Ethernet port to your router and LPS8 can obtain an IP address from your router. In the router's management portal, you should be able to find what IP address the router has assigned to the LPS8-V2.
111
112 You can also use this IP to connect.

121
122
123 The LPS8-V2 has a fall-back IP address on its WAN port. you have to access the gateway Web-UI to configure the WiFi connection via the fallback IP address.
124
125
126 **Steps to connect via fallback IP:**
127
128 ~1. Connect PC’s Ethernet port to LPS8-V2's WAN port
129
130 2. Configure PC's Ethernet port has  IP: 172.31.255.253 and Netmask: 255.255.255.252
131
132 [[image:image-20220622101433-4.png]]
133
134
135 and then On the PC, use the IP address **http:~/~/172.31.255.254** to access the LPS8-V2 via Web or Console.

158
159
160 === **2.2.1 Select your area frequency** ===
161
162 First, you need to set the frequency plan in LPS8-V2 to match the end node we use, so to receive the LoRaWAN packets from the LoRaWAN sensor.

165
166
167 === **2.2.2 Get the only gateway EUI** ===
168
169 Every LPS8-V2 has a unique gateway id. The ID can be found on LoRaWAN Semtech page:
