26.1	127	The LPS8-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and runs without a network.
8.1	128
26.1	129	In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the lps8-v2 accessible to the network.

26.1	141
69.4	142
35.1	143	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	144
35.1	145	You can also use this IP to connect.

	159
	160
69.4	161	(% style="color:#037691" %)Steps to connect via fallback IP:
35.1	162
69.4	163	1. Connect PC's Ethernet port to LPS8-V2's WAN port
	164
35.1	165	2. Configure PC's Ethernet port has IP: 172.31.255.253 and Netmask: 255.255.255.252
