Xiaoye 5.1 21 (((
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.

Xiaoye 26.1 107 The LPS8-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and runs without a network.
Xiaoye 8.1 108
Xiaoye 26.1 109 In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the lps8-v2 accessible to the network.

Xiaoye 35.1 119 === **Method 1**: Connect via Ethernet with DHCP IP from the router ===
Xiaoye 26.1 120
Xiaoye 35.1 121 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 26.1 122
Xiaoye 35.1 123 You can also use this IP to connect.

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