GNSS, 3G/4G and LoRa antenna are integrated. An external optionnal LoRa antenna can be added by opening the top button and then screw the antenna directly or via a cable.


Once the Wirnet iStation is installed, you can select up to 2 technologies to set up the access to Internet for the data backhaul:

• Ethernet connection, requiring an Ethernet access through a dedicated RJ45 cable (not included)
• 3G/4G cellular connection, requiring an USIM (not included) and a data subscription (not included)

Note that both configurations can be used in parallel. For example, RJ45 Ethernet with a 3G / 4G link as a backup.


Regarding the power supply, the following equipments can be used:

• End-Span or Mid-Span at least a 15W PoE (Power over Ethernet) (not included)

The Wirnet iFemtoCell may be mounted on a wall using the two oblong holes.
Only two screws (not included) are needed, all mounting information is mentioned on the following drawing: /!\ Never use hooks!


When the Wirnet iFemtoCell is installed, 2 configurations are possible regarding the technology used to access Internet:

• Ethernet connection, requiring an Ethernet access through a dedicated RJ45 cable
  
• Wi-Fi connection, requiring a Wi-Fi access point

The 2 configurations may be used in parallel. A typical example is the possibility to insure Wi-Fi connection by an Ethernet backup.

Once the LoRa RF antenna, the Ethernet cable (if used) and the power supply jack connector are connected, the Wirnet iFemtoCell can be powered ON by connecting the power supply onto the 230VAC mains supply.

The Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution may be mounted on a wall using the two oblong holes.
Only two screws (not included) are needed, all mounting information is mentioned on the following drawing: /!\ Never use hooks!


Once the Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution is installed, you can select up to 2 technologies to access to Internet for the data backhaul:

• Ethernet connection, requiring an Ethernet access through a dedicated RJ45 cable (not included)
  
• 4G/3G cellular connection, requiring an USIM (not included) and a data subscription (not included)

Note that both configurations can be used in parallel. For example, RJ45 Ethernet with a 4G/3G link as a backup.


Once the LoRa RF antenna, the Ethernet cable (if used) or the 4G/3G (with USIM card inserted) and the power supply jack connector are plugged, the Wirnet iFemtoCellevolution can be powered ON by connecting the power supply.

A push-button is available on the bottom of enclosure.

• The ON/OFF/RST button must be pressed during 1s to reboot the gateway.
• A long press for 5s turns off the gateway.

Once the power is “On”, please check the LED status and start the SW configuration.
The iStation should power on then display:

• a solid green LED (Power LED, under the power button),
• accompanied by a red LED (Status LED =operations status) starting solid, then blinking during bootup.

Once the LoRa RF antenna, the Ethernet cable (if used) and the power supply jack connector are connected, the Wirnet iFemtoCell can be powered ON by connecting the power supply onto the 230VAC mains supply.
The button available on the right of the gateway and accessible thanks to a tool with a 1mm diameter allows to reset the gateway as follow:

• The ON/OFF/RST button must be pressed during 1s to reboot the gateway.
• A long press for 5s turns off the gateway.
• A short press turns on the gateway.

Wirnet gateways are named after their serial number, as described below, with XXXXXX replaced by the last six hexadecimal digits from the board ID.

For the Wirnet iFemtoCell with 704BEc1234AB as board ID, the hostname will be: klk-wifc-1234AB. It is also possible to enter the IP address of your gateway into your browser’s URL bar (Make sure your computer is on the same local network).
The default credentials are:
Login:admin
Password:pwd4admin
It's very recommended to change them.

You can connect a PC directly to the iStation and iFemtoCell-evolution 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.

Simplest and preferred. Available on all Kerlink gateways
= > Plug the Gateway to the WAN access point with an Ethernet cable. The connection will be established automatically.

• You can enabled/disabled the Ethernet connection but be careful of the consequences of disabling

• You can configure your IPV4 connection:
  • DHCP.
  • Manual: Use a static IP.
  • OFF: Will turn OFF the IPv4 configuration.

The cellular access can be configured in the web interface.
Cellular connection requires an USIM and a data subscription (not included)

• Insert SIM
• If it does not work out of the box, you may need to configure APN of the SIM card on the web interface
• If so, enter the MCC/MNC corresponding to your network operator

To test if the configuration is the good one, please just unplugg Ethernet cable and wait for some minutes, the backhaul should automaticaly switch to cellular connection. You may use the onboarding dashboard to check connectivity after 15-30 minutes.

• If you have a WPS-compatible (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Wi-Fi Access Point, press the WPS button on the Wirnet iFemtoCell and then press the WPS button on the Wi-Fi Access Point of the installation. The connection will be established automatically.
• Without WPS-compatible Wi-Fi Access point, Wi-Fi connection can be done either through Wired Ethernet or through the Wi-Fi AP that is enabled for one hour after reboot:
  • Choose your Wi-Fi access point in the list.
  • Click on the access point name:
    • For passphrase-protected WiFi, fill the passphrase in the newly opened window and click “Connect”.
    • For WPS-enabled Access Point, or if your WiFi AP is open, just click “Connect”.
  • The Wi-Fi network will appear connected in front of the network name.

You will be taken step by step to generate a 12 unique word passphrase and set a pin code.

Click on + Add a Hotspot

Select Kerlink iFemtoCell, iFemtoCell Evolution or iStation

Web onboarding: click on the link to onboard your Hotspot. You will be redirected to the Kerlink Onboarding web page

To onboard your gateway, we need to identify it. You can find QR codes or Serial Numbers (ID) directly on your product, or on the box you received it in.
You may also enter any serial number (or “ID”):

• MAC address 70:76:FF:YY:YY:YY
• Board ID XXiYYYYYY or ZZZXXiYYYYYY (on the miner)
• Product ID XXiYYYYYY or ZZZXXiYYYYYY (on the miner)
• Packaging ID XXiYYYYYY or ZZZXXiYYYYYY (on the box)
• EUI 7n76FF00YYYYYYYY
  

One more serial number (or “ID”) is needed to register the Hotspot. You can provide the MAC address, Board ID or Product ID from the product label.
Please note that Board ID and EUI are considered as the same serial number (or “ID”), so you should use MAC address, Product ID or Packaging ID for 1 step of the onboarding.

You will now see the message below showing device onboarding is complete. Just click on the QR code to complete the process

Once back to Helium App, it's time to set a location for the Hotspot.

Once done, your Hotspot will go into registration. It can take up to 15 min here.

Once completed, your Hotspot is registered on the Blockchain. Congrats!
