RAN v2.2

It is recommended to use the MEGAPACKAGE that installs all mandatory packages onto your system (BSCC, SNMP, LIBLORAGW-FPGA, SPF). This package preserves any change to your current network configuration (VPN and GSM/ETH configuration). This megapackage can be used as well remotely (from RAN dashboard for instance) and locally (USB, debug link, SSH).

To update your system, you can use the “drag&drop” software update feature from the RAN dashboard interface.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO HAVE A DHCP DEFINED IN YOUR LOCAL NETWORK
Using static IP can lead to a connection issue to the RAN
It is recommended to update the OpenVPN package to v1.11 before using the megapackage
For Wirnet Station, if your BSCC and SNMP packages are RAN 2.0 compatible (v1.13), you must first install the RAN 2.1 packages (v2.1) before using the megapackage.
For ifemtocell, before installing the megapackage, you should remove the old libloragw by installing the following special package on your system : libloragw-remove-backup.ipk
Don't be afraid by the following message: “– Remove package from libloragw-remove.ipk: ERROR (255)”: that simply indicates that the package is not present in the backup storage).
The megapackage does not contain any OpenVPN certificate. If you install this megapackage without RAN connection (i.e you never installed any OpenVPN certificate on your system), you should ask for an OpenVPN certificate to support@kerlink.fr and install it on your system. In this case, you need to install these packages (OpenVPN certificate and megapackage) via a local access (USB, debug link, SSH).
For Keros sytems (Wirnet iBTS and Wirnet iFemtoCell), if you use the scp command, don't forget to dezip and uncompress the mega-package before upgrading the system ! tar xvf *ran_gateway*.tar.gz

Compatibility Matrix

You can manually install your packages individually by selecting the packages you want to update on to your system as specified in the compatibility matrix :
