By default, the SPN firmware is not installed. SPN can only be installed from Wirnet iFemtocell software version 3.0.0. Therefore, to install the SPN the following steps are required:

• Connect to the station using SSH
• Check the firmware version of the iFemtoCell
• (If the firmware is not the right one, upgrade it/contact the support )
• Update the firmware either via SSH or via USB

iFemtocell has no default IP adress, the gateway needs to be connected to a network using a DHCP server. To access the gateway, you first need to retrieve its IP address. Contact your network administrator, he/she will be able to find it.

1. Start an ssh client (for example: TeraTerm or Putty on Windows)
2. Connect to the station with the following configuration:
   • address : IP of your gateway
   • port: 22
   • login: root
   • password: pdmk-$serialno

The password is built using the last 6 characters of the board ID. For example, if an iFemtoCell has 704BEc03002E as board ID, then the root password will be pdmk-03002E (case sensitive).

Once connected to the station, use the command hereunder to get your firmware version

cat /tmp/sys_startup_status.json | grep "sw_version"

This kind of output will be displayed:

"sw_version": "3.1.3_20170412141132"

SPN can only be installed on firmware 3.0.0 and upper. If the firmware is not the right one, upgrade it/contact the support

The firmware update can be done either over network or over USB

1. Download the last firmware from the resources page
2. Create the directory .updates under /user :

   mkdir /user/.updates

3. Transfer the keros_x.x.x-spn_klk-wifc.ipk package previously downloaded in this directory:

   # From a computer:
   scp keros_1.0.3-spn_klk-wifc.ipk root@<ip_address>:/user/.updates/

4. Ensure file is correctly written:

   sync 

5. Trigger Update for next reboot:

   kerosd -u 

6. Restart :

   reboot

The upgrade process will take a few minutes and reboot multiple time the gateway (SSH access will be lost). The web interface will be up and running when the left LED will be lit in green. If SSH access is still available, then the installation failed.

1. Download the last firmware from the resources page
2. Prepare a USB key with the following files (see next section to get the files):
   • usb.autorun: Auto executable script
   • usbkey.txt: USB password file
   • keros_x.x.x-spn_klk-wifc.ipk: the SPN installation package
3. Plug the USB key on the iFemtoCell. After a few seconds a led will start blinking from green to red.
4. Unplug the USB key.The upgrade process will take a few minutes and reboot multiple time the gateway (SSH access will be lost). The web interface will be up and running when the left LED will be lit in green. If SSH access is still available, then the installation failed.
5. Unplug the USB key

usbkey.txt is a security file. It includes the password of “usbuser” user.
Default “usbuser” password is USBklkPassword

In case of consecutive updates on multiple boards, usbkey.txt file can include multiple passwords (100 maximum)(One password per line).

Here is an example of this file for 4 different boards ( 010001 / 020056 / 040001 / 092356):
First board has a generic password and 3 others have a “serial-based” modified password (“<serial>_usbkey”)

usbkey.txt

USBklkPassword
# Support for modified passwords
020056_usbkey
040001_usbkey
092356_usbkey

usb.autorun is a script automatically executed by the board if the usbkey.txt file includes a correct password. The following script is used to deploy the SPN firmware. Copy this script in a file named usb.autorun.
