===== Zero Touch provisioning (ZTP) feature =====

The KerOS FW 4.3.3 integrates the Zero Touch provisioning (ZTP) feature.\\
When you receive the gateway, you don’t need anymore to install software or to configure it, it is plug&play: you connect the gateway to the network with an Ethernet connection and the gateway will be automatically self-provisioned and configured for your needs. \\

Supported configuration includes:
  * Connection to Kerlink Wanesy Management Center (WMC).
  * 4G backhaul configuration.
  * Chirpstack or TTN configuration.

ZTP feature is available when the gateway boots for the first time with an available internet connection.
<note important>The gateways already deployed or upgraded with KerOS FW 4.3.3 are not concerned by ZTP feature, only the gateways natively produced with KerOS FW 4.3.3 (and later versions) are concerned.</note>
<note warning>The gateway must remain powered up and connected to Internet with Ethernet during the entire ZTP process.</note>

To enable ZTP on a gateway, it must be pre-declared on Kerlink ZTP Management server. 
Please contact Kerlink for more information at [[support@kerlink.fr]].


===== Connecting the gateways to the WMC =====

The first thing to do is to **install the software** that allows the gateway to connect to the WMC. \\ \\
You need to know the current WMC software release and then select the appropriate software to install according to this WMC software release version.


==== Check the WMC version ====

To know the WMC version, you must have an account to connect to your WMC dashboard.
If you don't have any, please contact the Kerlink Support team: [[support@kerlink.fr]] .

Click on your profile icon at the upper right of the page and select ''About'' item:

{{:wiki3:wmc_version_1.png?1000|}}

{{:wiki3:wmc_version_2.png?1000|}} \\
The WMC version is the version of the **Dashboard** component. For instance, in the screenshot above, the WMC version is 3.2.6.


==== Install the Gateway Software ====

Before installing the software, read the release note about your software release version [[ https://wikikerlink.fr/wanesy-ran/doku.php?id=wiki:wiki3:whatsnew_3x | here ]]
 
The connection to the **Wanesy Management Center** (WMC) requires several software packages to be installed on the gateway:

  * **Packet Forwarder packages**: process LoRa packets to forward to the WMC.
  * **BSCC and SNMP packages**: handle software upgrades, gateway monitoring, etc.
  * **OpenVPN packages**: create a secure channel between the gateway and the WMC.
  * An up-to-date **firmware**: a linux-based firmware to manage low-level functions (File management, security, network access, etc...)

For previous versions, these packages are brought together into a single package called a **"megapackage**". This specific software is also called the "**embedded software**". The version of the megapackage to install depends on the WMC software release.

<note important> 
**Starting from version 4.3, KerOS firmware is delivered with Kerlink Common Packet Forwarder and WMC Embedded applications. No megapackage is needed.
These applications  (Packet Forwarder, BSCC, and SNMP) are disabled by default and need to be enabled to use the gateways on WMC.**

===== Configuring the WMC =====

Once gateway embedded software has been installed, you have to configure the WMC: create your customers, create your fleets, declare your gateways, create your clusters and declare your end-devices.


==== Create your customers ====

You have to create at least one customer. If you have several customers, create all your customers:\\


https://wmc-poc.wanesy.com/docs/administration/create-customer.html \\
(if needed, replace the URL domain //wmc-poc.wanesy.com// by your own) \\
{{:wiki3:create-customer.1788d778.gif?1000|}}
\\
\\ 
==== Create your fleets ====

You have to group your gateways into a single fleet or in several fleets.
This a logical regrouping. You can for instance group all gateways that share the same country, or that belong to the same customer:\\


Click the following link to see how to proceed: https://wmc-poc.wanesy.com/docs/administration/create-fleet.html \\
(if needed, replace the URL domain //wmc-poc.wanesy.com// by your own) \\
{{:wiki3:create-fleet.b46d770c.gif?1000|}} 

==== Declare your gateways ====

You need to declare your gateways in the WMC database.

Click the following link to see how to proceed: https://wmc-poc.wanesy.com/docs/administration/create-gateway.html \\
(if needed, replace the URL domain //wmc-poc.wanesy.com// by your own) \\
{{:wiki3:create-gateway.cb366729.gif?1000|}}

To declare a gateway, following information is needed:

{{:wiki3:create_gateway.png?800|}}

  * **Fleet**: select your fleet to put the gateway inside.
  * **EUI**: a unique gateway identifier.
  * **Name**: gives a name to your gateway.
  * **Brand**: Kerlink, Tektelic, Multitech.
  * **Region**: AS923, AU915, CN470, CN779, EU433, EU868, IN865, KR920, RU864, US915.
  * **Visibility**: public or private.
  * **IP**: automatically filled by the WMC.
  * **Port**: automatically filled by the WMC.
  * **Geolocation**: if your gateway embodies a GPS device, select the "Allow GPS position" option.
  * **Downlink**: check this box if you want to allow downlinks for this gateway.
  * **Adaptive latency** : check this box if you want to enable ADR for this Gateway.
  * **Max Tx power**: the max Tx power delivered by the gateway.
  * **Network max delay up**: network delay for uplinks.
  * **Network max delay down**: network delay for downlinks.

Additional information:

**EUI**: To know how to obtain the EUI, click the following link: [[https://wikikerlink.fr/wanesy-ran/doku.php?id=wiki:faq&s[]=eui#how_can_i_obtain_the_eui_from_the_serial_number_of_my_station|how_can_i_obtain_the_eui_from_the_serial_number_of_my_station]] \\
**Brand**: select the brand of your gateway (default is Kerlink). \\
**Visibility**: private indicates that your gateway will be visible only for the customer it belongs to. When declared public, all customers can see your gateway. \\
**Max TX power**: this is the maximum power delivered by your gateway (27-30 dBm, default is 27). \\
**Network max delay up** and **Network max delay down** are the delays to apply for the LNS to send downlinks to the end-device over the RX1 or RX2 windows. \\
