Edwin Chen 44.1 22 The LPS8v2 is an (% style="color:green" %)**open-source LoRaWAN Gateway**(%%). It lets you bridge LoRa wireless network to an IP network via (% style="color:green" %)**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.
Xiaoye 6.2 23
Edwin Chen 44.1 24 The LPS8v2 is fully compatible with LoRaWAN protocol. It supports different kinds of LoRaWAN Network Connections such as: (% style="color:green" %)**Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder, LoRaWAN Basic Station, ChirpStack MQTT Bridge**(%%), and so on. This makes LPS8V2 work with most LoRaWAN platforms in the market.
Xiaoye 6.2 25
Edwin Chen 44.1 26 LPS8v2 also includes a (% style="color:green" %)**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.
Xiaoye 6.2 27
Edwin Chen 43.1 28 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.
Xiaoye 6.2 29
Edwin Chen 44.1 30 LPS8v2 supports (% style="color:green" %)**remote management**(%%). System Integrator can easy to remote monitor the gateway and maintain it.

83 LPS8-V2 has totally four LEDs, They are:
84
85
86 //**➢ Power LED**: This RED LED will be solid if the device is properly powered//
87
88
89 //**➢ LoRa LED**: This RGB LED will blink GREEN when the LoRaWAN module starts or transmit a packet//
90
91
92 //**➢ SYS LED**: This RGB LED will show different colors in different states~://
93
94 // ✓ SOLID BLUE: The device is alive with a LoRaWAN server connection.//
95
96 // ✓ 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//
97
98 // ✓ SOLID RED: Device doesn’t have an Internet connection.//
99
100

Xiaoye 26.1 106 The LPS8-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and runs without a network.
Xiaoye 8.1 107
Xiaoye 26.1 108 In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the lps8-v2 accessible to the network.

Xiaoye 35.1 118 === **Method 1**: Connect via Ethernet with DHCP IP from the router ===
Xiaoye 26.1 119
Xiaoye 35.1 120 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.
Xiaoye 26.1 121
Xiaoye 35.1 122 You can also use this IP to connect.

133 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.
134
135
136 **Steps to connect via fallback IP:**
137
138 ~1. Connect PC’s Ethernet port to LPS8-V2's WAN port
139
140 2. Configure PC's Ethernet port has  IP: 172.31.255.253 and Netmask: 255.255.255.252
141
142 [[image:image-20220622101433-4.png]]
143
144
145 and then On the PC, use the IP address **http:~/~/172.31.255.254** to access the LPS8-V2 via Web or Console.
