26.1	124	The LPS8-V2 supports network access via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection and runs without a network.
8.1	125
26.1	126	In most cases, the first thing you need to do is make the lps8-v2 accessible to the network.

26.1	138
69.4	139
35.1	140	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	141
35.1	142	You can also use this IP to connect.
