18 == **1.1 What is LPS8v2** ==
19
20
21 (((
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.
23
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.
25
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.
27
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.
29
30 LPS8v2 supports (% style="color:green" %)**remote management**(%%). System Integrator can easy to remote monitor the gateway and maintain it.

82
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
101 //**➢ ETH LED**: This LED shows the ETH interface connection status.//
102
103
104 = **2. Quick Start** =
105
106 The LPS8-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and runs without a network.
107
108 In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the lps8-v2 accessible to the network.
109
110
111 == **2.1 Connects to the network and accesses the gateway Web UI** ==
112
113
114 == **2.1.1 connect the network.** ==
115
116 === ===
117
118 === **Method 1**: Connect via Ethernet with DHCP IP from the router ===
119
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.
121
122 You can also use this IP to connect.

130 [[image:image-20220622100542-2.png||height="369" width="1256"]]
131
132
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.

168
169
170 === **2.2.1 Select your area frequency** ===
171
172 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.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
415
416 ~-~- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
417
418 ~-~- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
419
420 ~-~- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
421
422 ~-~- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
