This section aims to guide a user through the main steps of the configuration of the SPN firmware. In this quickstart, the user will start with a freshly installed software with no configuration and end with an endpoint device sending data to SPN.

Prerequisites:

• SPN is already installed on an iFemtoCell
• The SPN license file of this iFemtoCell
• The iFemtoCell is connected to a network with a DHCP server and a DNS server
• Chrome is used to connect to web interface

The home web interface is accessible at the following address: http://klk-wifc-XXXXXX/ Where XXXXX are the 6 digits at the end of hostname/board id .

Example: The address to be used with the iFemtoCell owning the following label is: http://klk-wifc-03002e/ (case insensitive)

• Connect to the web interface

The default login/password are:
user: spn
password: spnpwd

Installing the SPN software is not sufficient to use it. It also needs to be activated with a license file.

• Go to the License tab under the Administration menu.
• Either click on the panel and choose the license TXT file or drag and drop it.

A valid license file contains 32 hexadecimal characters

For security reasons, Kerlink strongly advise its customers to change the default password.

• Go to the Station tab under the Administration menu and change the password.

The region where the station will be used needs to be configured.

• Go to the Region menu and choose your region.
• Validate the modification with the save configuration button.

The iFemtoCell cannot listen to every frequency simultaneously. Up to 8 frequencies can be listened. The frequencies to be listened need to be configured.

To understand how the frequency configuration works, it is necessary to know that the station’s hardware contains two RF frontends. Each of these frontends has a 0.8 MHz Bandwidth. Thus, all 8 channels must be contained within these two 0.8 MHz intervals.

Not all the channels are necessarily used.

Example of typical configuration:

All 8 frequencies can be contained within one 0.8MHz interval.

• Go to the Rx Configuration menu and choose your region.
• Enter the center frequencies of both frontends.
• Enter the frequencies that your endpoint device uses.
• Validate the modification with the save configuration button

Before receiving data from the endpoint device, it first needs to be registered.

• Go to the manage endpoints tab under the Endpoints menu.
• Fill the information of your endpoint. If you are not in Europe, you will probably have to use the Override default Rx parameters
• Validate the endpoint device with the add endpoint button

The (basic) configuration is over.

• Go to the Received data menu. You can refresh the received packets with the refresh button at the bottom right corner of the page.
