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.

83 LPS8-V2 has totally four LEDs, They are:
84
85
86 (% style="color:blue" %)//**➢ Power LED**//(%%)//: This RED LED will be solid if the device is properly powered//
87
88
89 (% style="color:blue" %)//**➢ LoRa LED**//(%%)//: This RGB LED will blink GREEN when the LoRaWAN module starts or transmit a packet//
90
91

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

105 = **2. Quick Start** =
106
107 The LPS8-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and runs without a network.
108
109 In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the lps8-v2 accessible to the network.
110
111
112 == **2.1 Connects to the network and accesses the gateway Web UI** ==
113
114
115 == **2.1.1 connect the network.** ==
116
117 === ===
118
119 === **Method 1**: Connect via Ethernet with DHCP IP from the router ===
120
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.
122
123 You can also use this IP to connect.
124

130
131 [[image:image-20220622100542-2.png||height="369" width="1256"]]
132
133
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.

170
171 === **2.2.1 Select your area frequency** ===
172
173 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.
