Package md5sum
keros_4.3.3_klkgw-signed.ipk 5b74d037fdd8c237655fa4cf199a7903

The content of this package is listed below:

Component Version
keros 4.3.3
bscc included in KerOS 4.3.3 firmware
lorasnmp included in KerOS 4.3.3 firmware
lorad included in KerOS 4.3.3 firmware
lorafwd included in KerOS 4.3.3 firmware

Starting from version 4.3, KerOS firmware is delivered with Kerlink Common Packet Forwarder and WMC Embedded applications. These applications are disabled by default and need to be enabled to use the gateways on WMC.

There are 3 ways to update your gateway's software:


Software update over ethernet


This procedure can be used to UPGRADE from a KerOS 4.x system on a single gateway.

To update your gateway, apply the following procedure:

  1. Request your VPN package(s) to the Kerlink Support team: support@kerlink.fr (optional: in case of a First Install or Migration)
  2. Transfer package(s) in this directory:
    # From a computer:
    scp keros_4.3.3_klkgw-signed.ipk  root@<ip_address>:/user/.updates/
    scp openvpn-*.ipk root@<ip_address>:/user/.updates/
  3. Trigger Update for next reboot:
    kerosd -u 
  4. Restart:
    reboot
    Refer to software update procedure for further details.
  5. Configure the gateway to use the WMC:
     klk_apps_config --activate-wmc -s wmc-server-name 
    Replace 'wmc-server-name' by the server name to which the gateway should connect.


Software update over USB

This procedure used for automatic deployment can be used to UPGRADE from a KerOS 4.x system on a single or a group of gateways.
If you want to install this software from a KerOS 3.x, you need to install a KerOS 4.0 before upgrading your system: SW_3.1

To update your system from a KerOS 4.x system, you will need to create 2 USB sticks:

The first USB stick will install the firmware 4.3.3 with embedded BSCC, SNMP and CPF.
The second USB stick will configure the VPN to connect to your WMC server (klk_apps_config).

USB stick AUTO_DEPLOY_KEROS_4.3.3_USB_STICK_1.tar.gz c8eee539e87b9623c36884e69fd4a6cd
USB stick AUTO_DEPLOY_KEROS_4.3.3_USB_STICK_2.tar.gz 0f3ad94ba33b77e44f7275b3c8c802b4

The .tar.gz files provided below are “ready-to-use”. You only need to copy your OpenVPN secrets files in vpn_packages directory for the USB stick 1 and update the file 'wmc-server-name.txt' for the USB stick 2 to set your WMC server name in order the gateway to connect properly to your WMC server.


To update your gateway, apply the following procedure :

1. Deflate twice the AUTO_DEPLOY_KEROS_4.3.3_USB_STICK_1.tar.gz file to get .ipk files and put them on your USB stick in the root directory
2. Copy all files located in the folder AUTO_DEPLOY_KEROS_4.3.3_USB_STICK_X in the root directory
3. Request your VPN secret package(s) v4.3 to the Kerlink Support team: support@kerlink.fr (optional: in case of a First Install or Migration or Upgrade from FW < 4.2.2)
4. Put your VPN secrets packages of your KerOS products in the vpn_packages directory (optional: in case of a First Install or Migration or Upgrade from FW < 4.2.2))
5. Plug the first USB stick in the gateway USB slot (device must be powered on)
6. Wait for the leds blinking and unplug the USB stick from the slot
7. The system reboots
8. Wait for the end of the update
9. Deflate twice the AUTO_DEPLOY_KEROS_4.3.3_USB_STICK_2.tar.gz file to get .ipk files and put them on your USB stick in the root directory
10. Copy all files located in the folder AUTO_DEPLOY_KEROS_4.3.3_USB_STICK_2 in the root directory
11. Update the 'wmc-server-name.txt' file with the name of your wmc server in the second USB stick. Example: For the POC WMC (https://wmc-poc.wanesy.com/), the content of the file is wmc-poc.wanesy.com.
12. Plug the second USB stick in the gateway USB slot (device must be powered on)
13. Wait for the leds blinking and unplug the USB stick from the slot
14. The system reboots
15. Wait for the end of the reboot

Changelog

Main changes regards to the 3.2 embedded software release are listed below:

  • Integration of CPF in KerOS 4.3.3 firmware
  • Integration of WMC Embedded applications 4.3.3 firmware
  • Add NetID Filtering in CPF
  • Increase CPF log size
  • Uplink: fix fallback from Ethernet to GSM if no DNS server
  • CPF: fix reconnection to LNS server after an uplink reconnection

Please note that, if gateways use public IP, it also makes your gateway accessible from Internet on open SSH or HTTP ports (protected by passwords). Kerlink so recommends to change passwords as described in Connection, login and credentials
