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.

125
126
127 The LPS8-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and runs without a network.
128
129 In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the lps8-v2 accessible to the network.
130
131
132
133 == **2.1 Connects to the network and accesses the gateway Web UI** ==
134
135
136 == **2.1.1 connect the network.** ==
137
138 === ===
139
140 === (% style="color:blue" %)**Method 1**(%%):  Connect via Ethernet with DHCP IP from the router ===
141
142
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.
144
145 You can also use this IP to connect.

155
156
157 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.
158
159
160
161 (% style="color:#037691" %)**Steps to connect via fallback IP:**
162
163 1. Connect PC's Ethernet port to LPS8-V2's WAN port
164
165 2. Configure PC's Ethernet port has  IP: 172.31.255.253 and Netmask: 255.255.255.252
166
167 [[image:image-20220622101433-4.png]]
168
169
170 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:
470
471 ~-~- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
472
473 ~-~- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
474
475 ~-~- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
476
477 ~-~- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
478
479
480 Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
