5.1	21	(((
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.
6.2	23
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.
6.2	25
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.
6.2	27
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.
6.2	29
44.1	30	LPS8v2 supports (% style="color:green" %)remote management(%%). System Integrator can easy to remote monitor the gateway and maintain it.

26.1	119
69.4	120
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.
26.1	122
35.1	123	You can also use this IP to connect.
