Wirnet™ iStation: Connect to the gateway

Detailed instructions about Wirnet iStation installation and maintenance are available on the Wirnet iStation setup page.

The Wirnet iStation gateway is powered with a PoE injector. Please see section 3.3 of 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.

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 here for more information about SSH/HTTP connection details.

Wirnet™ Debug Probe is the only compatible debug probe.

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 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).

1. Download the ftdi drivers for the debug probe
2. Install the drivers

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

1. Open a serial terminal (HyperTerminal, PuTTY, Teraterm, GNU screen, minicom, etc.)
2. Select the serial port created by the FTDI driver (usually: COM3 on Windows, /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux)
3. Apply the following parameters to use your serial connection:
   • baud rate : 115200
   • data length : 8
   • parity : none
   • stop bit : 1
   • flow control : none
4. Enter your credentials in the command prompt:
   • login: root
   • password: pdmk-$serialno

pdmk-$serialno is the default password on the gateway. See here for more information. In case of failure, request password to support@kerlink.fr.
