 ====== Kerlink Helium Hotspot Wiki ====== ====== Kerlink Helium Hotspot Wiki ======
-Welcome on this public wiki page.  +<​note ​warning>**The Helium ​Network migration ​to Solana Blockchain has been done and is now ok.** \\ 
-You can find below all relevant information concerning Kerlink Helium Hotspot setup, onboarding and troubleshooting.  +\\ 
- +This strategic move, voted in by the communityaims to capitalize on Solana'​s scalabilitylow transaction costs, and high-performance ​capabilitiesincluding its fast transaction throughput ​and energy-efficient consensus mechanism.\\ 
-If you cannot find required information on this page, please contact your reseller (from whom you purchase your product) or Kerlink through OTRS system (if you are a direct customer). +On Kerlink sidewe successfully updated ​the whole Helium Kerlink fleet to the latest version from Helium of the light miner and all Kerlink Gateways connected ​to Internet ​should now run on Solana blockchain and mineIf it is not the caseit may only be a connectivity issue or a reboot problemIf this is still not working please contact us. \\ 
- +\\ 
-<​note ​important>​** ​Due its cryptographic key and to ensure Kerlink ​Helium ​Hotspot security, no SSH access can be given to those gateways\\     **</​note>​ +Regarding Onboarding, the onboarding procedure has evolved ​and it must be adapted following ​the migration ​to SolanaWe are currently working ​on the update ​of our tools to proceed ​to the onboarding. For this reasonit is currently not possible to onboard a Kerlink ​gateway through the Kerlink ​Hotspot application. \\

-==== Install the gateway ==== +
-For best mining ​performance, ​place the gateway on the roof or high up. It is very important to maintain the antenna vertically ​and without any obstacle at 20 cm around. \\ Avoid placing the Gateway in places where it cannot see the outside world: in basements, in cabinets, behind TVs, metal screens.\\ +
-You can manage, plan and optimize your hotspot locations using [[https://​hotspotty.net/​manage-plan-optimize-hotspot-locations/​|Hotspotty]] +

-==== Connect to Web interface ==== +
-<note important>​**DO NOT CLICK on RESET FACTORY button** as it will remove the Helium miner software from your Hotspot. \\ The feature is reserved to technical Support Team</​note>​ +
- +
-++++The easiest way to connect to your gateway is to address it by name.|  +
-Wirnet gateways are named after their serial number, as described below, with XXXXXX replaced by the last six hexadecimal digits from the board ID. +
- +
-^ Gateway model                   ^ URL template ​               ^ +
-| **Wirnet iStation** ​            | ''​http://​klk-wiis-XXXXXX.local ''​ | +
-| **Wirnet iFemtoCell** ​          | ''​http://​klk-wifc-XXXXXX.local ''​ | +
-| **Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution** | ''​http://​klk-fevo-XXXXXX.local ''​ | +
- +
-For the Wirnet iFemtoCell with 704BEc1234AB as board IDthe 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.\\ +
- +
-{{:​images:​WI_overview.png?​1000|}} +
-++++ +
-++++ Using local connection ​through ​USB-C for iStation and iFemtoCell-evolution only.| +
-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. +

-The Full Miner communicates over a peer-to-peer (P2P) network and needs to connect to the remote port 44158. ​\\ +
-Hence, other miners must have this port forwarded to their miner IP address, and so should you. Indeed, other miners will want to connect to your miner too. \\ +

-++++Go through the account setup process.+See on [[https://​www.kerlink.com/​iot-solutions/​e2e-iot-connectivity/​helium-network/​|Kerlink official website]]
- You will be taken step by step to generate a **12 unique word passphrase and set a pin code**.+
  
-<note important>​As the Helium App says, it is crucial that you write all of the 12 words down in the correct order and store this in a safe location. If you do not you risk not being able to re-gain access to your HNT wallet. Make a note of your Helium Wallet address, which will be required in the next step.</​note>​

 +In other words: ​**avoid boarding a hotspot without asserting its location after it**.</​note>​
  
-Web onboarding: click on the **link** to onboard ​your Hotspot. You will be redirected to the [[https://helium-onboarding.kerlink.com/​|Kerlink Onboarding web page]]\\ +You will need **[[wiki:​helium:​klkapp|Kerlink Hotspot App]]** to manage ​your Hotspot ​and **[[wiki:helium:heliumapp|Helium HNT Wallet App]]** App to create your Wallet.

-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)

-{{images:​4.png?​350|}} ​  ​{{images:​4b.png?​250|}}\\ 
- 
-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.\\
