22 (((
23 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.
24 )))
25
26 (((
27 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.
28 )))
29
30 (((
31 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.
32 )))
33
34 (((
35 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.

121
122
123 The LPS8-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and runs without a network.
124
125 In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the lps8-v2 accessible to the network.
126
127
128
129 == **2.1 Connects to the network and accesses the gateway Web UI** ==
130
131

133
134 === ===
135
136 === (% style="color:blue" %)**Method 1**(%%):  Connect via Ethernet with DHCP IP from the router ===
137
138
139 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.
140
141 You can also use this IP to connect.

151
152
153 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.
154
155
156
157 (% style="color:#037691" %)**Steps to connect via fallback IP:**
158
159 1. Connect PC's Ethernet port to LPS8-V2's WAN port
160
161 2. Configure PC's Ethernet port has  IP: 172.31.255.253 and Netmask: 255.255.255.252
162
163 [[image:image-20220622101433-4.png]]
164
165
166 and then On the PC, use the IP address **http:~/~/172.31.255.254** to access the LPS8-V2 via Web or Console.
