Frequently Asked Questions

What is default login/password?

The default root password is defined here: Credentials.

What to do in case the password has been lost?

In case the root password of the Wirnet iBTS or Wirnet iFemtoCell has been lost, an autorun script can be used on a USB key to reset the password. Refer to the USB autorun section and to the change the passwords section for more information.

If the USB password has also been lost, the product can be restored to factory settings, please refer to How to factory reset the gateway section

Otherwise, please contact the support.

How to read software version?

Firmware version is written in the file /etc/version.

$ cat /etc/version
4.0.2_20180821165420

Firmware version is also displayed on Web Interface:

How to manually update the gateway firmware?

It can be done by IP network or USB. Please refer to Software update dedicated section.

How to factory reset the gateway?

Via physical Button

Please refer to Manual stock restore dedicated section.

Via Web interface

To factory reset the gateway, you can use the stock restore feature. A “stock restore” will factory reset the gateway. All data will be lost.

Via SSH

To trigger a “stock restore” execute the following commands:

# kerosd -s 
# reboot

More information about “stock restore” feature is available here.

Via SMS

Two SMS can be sent to the gateway to factory reset the gateway.

1st SMS to send to the gateway:

[login:password] [sms_command_id] system/restore/stock

2nd SMS to send to the gateway:

[login:password] [sms_command_id] system/reboot

More information about “SMS” feature is available here.

What is the default LEDs behavior?

The LEDs behavior is described here.

How to shutdown/restart the gateway?

Once connected:

  • To stop the gateway, use the command halt.
  • To reboot the gateway, use the command reboot.

Manually, you can also use ON/OFF button (excepting for iFemtocell).

What is the button behavior?

On Wirnet iFemtocell, the Reset button is a hardware reset button.

On all other products, the button is a ON/OFF button.
Similarly to a computer ON/OFF button, this button is intended to perform a reboot, power down and power up of the gateway:

  • Reboot
    • Shortly Press the button (less than 1 second)
  • Power down
    • Press the button between 1 to 5 seconds to halt the gateway
    • Wait for the shutdown of the gateway i.e. until the LEDs are switched off.
    • The shutdown may take up to 30 seconds depending on the current software activity.
  • Hard Power-down
    • Press the button more than 5 seconds.
  • Power on
    • Press the button during 1 second to power the gateway on.

Where are the logs?

Most traces of the Wirnet™ i-series gateways can be found under /var/log/messages*.

Is an SDK available?

Kerlink doesn’t provide an SDK to generate KerOs firmwares, just what is necessary to build an application. Information about the Toolchain is available in the toolchain page.


  • Wirnet™ iBTS FAQ

What is default Wirnet iBTS hostname?

The default hostname of the Wirnet iBTS is “klk-lpbs-04014F” where 04014F is the end of the CPU serial number. This information is present on the sticker placed on the CPU module.

How to read FPGA version?

FPGA versions are contained in /tmp/board_info.json file: parameter fpga_swver.
There is one FPGA per LoRaLOC board. If you have 3 LoRaLOC, there will be 3 versions in the file.

# grep "fpga_swver" /tmp/board_info.json   
"fpga_swver": "61",
"fpga_swver": "61",
"fpga_swver": "61",
