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.

103
104
105 The LPS8-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and runs without a network.
106
107 In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the lps8-v2 accessible to the network.
108
109

113
114 == **2.1.1 connect the network.** ==
115
116 === ===
117
118 === (% style="color:blue" %)**Method 1**(%%):  Connect via Ethernet with DHCP IP from the router ===
119
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.

133
134
135 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.
136
137
138
139 (% style="color:#037691" %)**Steps to connect via fallback IP:**
140
141 1. Connect PC's Ethernet port to LPS8-V2's WAN port
142
143 2. Configure PC's Ethernet port has  IP: 172.31.255.253 and Netmask: 255.255.255.252
144
145 [[image:image-20220622101433-4.png]]
146
147
148 and then On the PC, use the IP address **http:~/~/172.31.255.254** to access the LPS8-V2 via Web or Console.

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:
429
430 ~-~- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
431
432 ~-~- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
433
434 ~-~- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
435
436 ~-~- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
