====== Wirnet™ iStation: Connect to the gateway ======

Detailed instructions about Wirnet iStation installation and maintenance are available on the [[wiki:quickstart:quickstart_istation#documentation|Wirnet iStation setup page]].

===== Power supply the iStation =====

The Wirnet iStation gateway is powered with a PoE injector. Please see section 3.3 of [[wiki:quickstart:quickstart_istation#documentation|Wirnet™ iStation Product Description]] for more information.

Connect the PoE output connector to the Ethernet port on the bottom side of the gateway.

The iStation should power on, showing a solid green LED, accompanied by a red LED starting solid, then blinking during bootup.

===== Local connection (USB) =====

You can connect a PC directly to the iStation with a USB cable. In this mode, the gateway will simulate an ethernet device.

  * In nominal case, after few seconds, your PC will obtain an IP address and you will be able to start a SSH client or HTTP connection on gateway IP 192.168.120.1.
  * In particular case you are using a DHCP server on your computer, gateway will directly obtain an IP address. A connection can then be done on this IP address.

See [[wiki:systeme_mana:connection_credentials#default_password|here for more information]] about SSH/HTTP connection details.

===== Connect using the debug probe =====
Wirnet™ Debug Probe is the only compatible debug probe.

==== Connection ====

Plug Wirnet Debug probe on your gateway Type-C connector from one side and on USB connector of your computer on the other side as explained in {{ wiki:e-con-quick_start_guide_-_wirnet_debug_probe-v2..pdf| Wirnet Debug probe quickstart}}.

Once plugged correctly:
  * Green equipment led on Debug probe should be ON (equipment «power» led remote display).
  * Serial port led (on PC side) should be ON (or blink if communication is on-going between equipment and terminal)
  * USB Type-A connector should be usable to plug a USB stick (Wirnet Debug probe can also be used as adapter without connection to a computer).

==== Windows installation ====

  - Download the [[http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm|ftdi drivers]] for the debug probe 
  - Install the drivers

==== Linux installation ====

On Linux, everything should work out of the box. The serial port will be located in ''/dev/ttyUSB*''.


==== Connection to the Wirnet™ iStation ====
  - Open a serial terminal (HyperTerminal, PuTTY, Teraterm, GNU screen, minicom, etc.)
  - Select the serial port created by the FTDI driver (usually: ''COM3'' on Windows, ''/dev/ttyUSB0'' on Linux)
  - Apply the following parameters to use your serial connection:
     * baud rate : ''115200''
     * data length : ''8''
     * parity : ''none''
     * stop bit : ''1''
     * flow control : ''none''
  - Enter your credentials in the command prompt:
     * login: ''root''
     * password: ''pdmk-$serialno''
''pdmk-**$serialno**'' is the default password on the gateway. See [[wiki:systeme_mana:connection_credentials#default_password|here for more information]]. In case of failure, request password to [[support@kerlink.fr]].
