For the Wirnet Station, the 3.1 Software release must be used to connect a Wirnet Station to the WMC server v3.x.

The content of this package is listed below:

For all products except the Wirnet Station:

For the Wirnet Station:

There are 3 ways to update your gateway's software:

• by using the Magic link
• by using an USB stick
• by using an Ethernet connection (SSH)
• over WMC dashboard, by using the Drag and drop feature

This procedure can be used to UPGRADE from a KerOS 4.x system on a single gateway.

To update your gateway, apply the following procedure:

1. Request your VPN package(s) to the Kerlink Support team: support@kerlink.fr (optional: in case of a First Install or Migration)
2. Transfer package(s) in this directory:

   # From a computer:
   scp WMC_embedded_keros_v3.3.5.tar.gz openvpn-*.ipk root@<ip_address>:/user/.updates/

3. Deflate archive and ensure file is correctly written:

   # On the gateway:
   cd /user/.updates
   tar -xzf *.tar.gz
   rm -f WMC*.tar.gz
   sync 

4. Trigger Update for next reboot:

   kerosd -u 

5. Restart:

   reboot

Refer to software update procedure for further details.

This procedure used for automatic deployment can be used to UPGRADE from a KerOS 4.x system (embedded software 3.1.x) on a single or a group of gateways.
If you want to install this sotfware from a KerOS 3.x, you need to install a KerOS 4.0 before upgrading your system.

You need to use 1 or 2 USB sticks depending on your FW version .

If your KerOS version is lower than 4.0 then you will need to create 2 USB sticks.

When using 2 USB sticks:

• The first USB stick will upgrade the firmware to KerOS 4.2.
• The second USB stick will install all others packages with the required release: BSCC, SNMP, Common Packet Forwarder (CPF) and OpenVPN packages.

When using a single USB Stick:

• Put the file .tar.gz on your USB stick and decompress all the stuff in the root directory.

To update your system from a KerOS 4.x system, use the following software:

The same USB stick can be used twice.

The .tar.gz file provided below is “ready-to-use”. You only need to copy your OpenVPN packages on the USB stick: your OpenVPN secrets files in vpn_packages directory and your OpenVPN config file in the COMMON directory to be able to connect properly to your WMC server.

To update your gateway, apply the following procedure :

1. Deflate twice the tar.gz file to get .ipk files and put them on your USB stick in the root directory
2. Copy all files located in the folder AUTO_DEPLOY_3.2.5_KEROS_USB_STICK in the root directory
3. Request your VPN package(s) to the Kerlink Support team: support@kerlink.fr (optional: in case of a First Install or Migration)
4. Put your VPN config packages in the COMMON directory to connect to YOUR WMC server (optional: in case of a First Install or Migration)
5. Put your VPN secrets packages of your KerOS products in the vpn_packages directory (optional: in case of a First Install)
6. Plug the USB stick in the gateway USB slot (device must be powered on)
7. Wait the end of the update
8. Plug the second USB stick in the gateway USB slot (if needed)
9. Wait the end of the update (if needed)

Refer to the specific wiki to get more details about software update over USB:
Wirnet Product Line (iBTS, iFemtocell, iStation): http://wikikerlink.fr/wirnet-productline/doku.php?id=wiki:keros_custo:sw_updates#software_update_over_usb

The update procedure uses 2 USB sticks:

• The first USB stick will upgrade the firmware to KerOS 3.6.
• The second USB stick will install all others packages with the required software release: BSCC, SNMP, Common Packet Forwarder (CPF) and OpenVPN packages.

1. Deflate twice the tar.gz file on each USB stick in the root directory
2. Copy files located in the folder AUTO_DEPLOY_3.1.6_USB_STICK_x in the root directory
3. Add your OpenVPN packages in AUTO_DEPLOY_3.1.6_USB_STICK_2 before plugging the stick into the system.
4. Plug the first USB stick in the gateway USB slot
5. Wait the end of the update
6. Plug the second USB stick in the gateway USB slot
7. Wait the end of the update

Main changes regards to the 3.2 embedded software release are listed below:

• iFemtocell-Evolution gateway support
• Backhaul configuration improvement
• Spectral scan improvement on iStation and iFemtocell-Evolution
• Power management improvement
• Allow Internet access while connected to WMC

Please note that, if gateways use public IP, it also makes your gateway accessible from Internet on open SSH or HTTP ports (protected by passwords). Kerlink so recommends to change passwords as described in Connection, login and credentials
