-====== Wirnet™ iBTS: Connect to the gateway ====== 
  
-<note tip>Any questions on the product or accessories:​ please read the [[resources#​documentations|Installation and Maintenance manual]].</​note>​ 
- 
-To connect to the Wirnet™ iBTS gateway, the following accessories are needed: 
-  * **Ethernet cable:** To access/use the gateway. 
- 
-  * **PoE injector or DC power supply (11V to 56V):** To power the gateway. 
- 
-  * //​Optional//:​ **Wirma2 debug tool:** Debug probe to access to linux console, with **USB wire (A type < --- > B type):** to connect it to the PC. 
- 
-<​note>​**Note for PoE**  
- 
-PoE class is depending on the configuration of the Wirnet™ iBTS as power consumption becomes higher accordingly to the number and the type of RF modem (consult Kerlink to choose correct PoE device). 
-</​note>​ 
-

- 
-===== Power supply the gateway ===== 
-For the following points, detailed instructions are available in the Wirnet™ iBTS "​Installation and Maintenance manual"​ of the [[resources|resources]] page.\\ There are two ways to power on the Wirnet™ iBTS: 
- 
-  * **Connect** the PoE output connector to the LAN port located on the bottom side of the CPU module. The RJ45 connector can be inserted directly to the gateway using a specific cable gland. 
- 
-  * **Connect** the DC power supply to the Aux Power connector identified by the 11-56V indication, respect the +/- indications. 
- 
-{{ :​images:​pow_suppl_modes.jpg |}}  
- 
- 
-  - **Plug** a RJ45 cable from the network in the DATA IN socket of PoE. PoE injector LED orange is ON. 
-  - **Plug** the PoE (DATAOUT socket) to the Wirnet™ iBTS using a RJ45 cable. PoE injector LED green is ON. 
-  - **Check** the following status once the gateway is well powered : 
-        * green LED DEBUG socket is ON. 
-        * orange LED DEBUG socket blinks every 5 seconds. 
-

- 
-===== Connect through the network ===== 
- 
-Please see the [[wiki:​connection_credentials|connection,​ login and credentials page]] for more information on how to connect to your iBTS. 
- 
-===== Local connection ===== 
- 
-If you do not use yet backhaul Ethernet port, you can connect a PC directly to the iBTS with a cable to its LOCAL Ethernet port. 
- 
-  - **You have a DHCP server**: Start an ssh client (typically Putty on Windows) on port 22 and using the gateway’s IP address obtained from the DHCP server. ​ \\ \\ 
-  - **You don't have a DHCP server**: Configure your PC Ethernet card to use 192.168.1.100 (netmask: 255.255.255.0) and start a ssh client (typically Putty on Windows) on port 22 and using the gateway default LOCAL IP address which is 192.168.1.1 ([[wiki:​backhaul#​local_ethernet|More information on the LOCAL Ethernet]]). ​ 
- 
-  * After getting prompt: Enter login/​password (“''​root''/''​pdmk-**$serialno**''​”). ''​pdmk-**$serialno**''​ is the default password on the gateway. See [[wiki:​connection_credentials#​default_password|here for more information]]. In case of failure, request password to Kerlink support team. 
- 
-===== Debug probe ===== 
- 
-To use the debug probe, it is necessary to download FTDI drivers on [[http://​www.ftdichip.com/​Drivers/​VCP.htm | this website]]. 
- 
-==== Windows installation ==== 
- 
-  - **Download** ftdi drivers. 
-  - **Install** the drivers. 
- 
-==== Linux installation ==== 
- 
-On Linux, everything should work out of the box. The serial port will be located in ''/​dev/​ttyUSB*''​. 
- 
-++++ If it didn't work | 
- 
- 
-It is necessary to tell the Kernel to load the proper [[http://​www.ftdichip.com/​Support/​Documents/​AppNotes/​AN_220_FTDI_Drivers_Installation_Guide_for_Linux.pdf|FTDI driver]] when the debug probe is plugged. 
- 
-To do so, list the USB devices and see the product and vendor IDs: 
- 
-<code text> 
-$ lsusb 
-Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub 
-Bus 001 Device 039: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International,​ Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC 
-Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0461:0010 Primax Electronics,​ Ltd HP PR1101U / Primax PMX-KPR1101U Keyboard 
-Bus 001 Device 045: ID 18d1:4ee7 Google Inc.  
-Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2512 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub 
-Bus 001 Device 002: ID 045e:07fd Microsoft Corp. Nano Transceiver 1.1 
-</​code>​ 
- 
-Here the debug probe is located on the 1st bus, device ''​039''​. The device should be automatically recognized. To check the FTDI kernel module is loaded, the following command can be used: 
- 
-<​code>​ 
-$ lsmod | grep ftdi 
-ftdi_sio ​              ​53248 ​ 1 
-usbserial ​             53248  3 ftdi_sio 
-</​code>​ 
- 
-Next, create a udev rule matching this, and place it in a file called ''/​etc/​udev/​rules.d/​99-usbftdi.rules''​ (for example): 
- 
-<​code>​ 
-# Added on xx/yy/zzzz for Kerlink debug probe by foobar 
-# For FTDI FT232 & FT245 USB devices with Vendor ID = 0x0403, Product ID = 0x6001 
-ATTR{idProduct}=="​6001",​ ATTR{idVendor}=="​0403",​ RUN+="/​sbin/​modprobe ftdi_sio product=0x6001 vendor=0x0403"​ 
-</​code>​ 
- 
-Be sure to replace the product/​vendor IDs if they need to be changed. 
-This will have the FTDI Kernel module loaded when the debug probe is plugged. 
- 
-Next, reload the device tree: ''​udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger''​ (run as root). 
- 
-If necessary, the device in ''/​dev''​ could be renamed. To do so, add '',​ SYMLINK+="​debug_probe"''​ to the udev rule. 
- 
-Here's the result: 
- 
-<​code>​ 
-$ ls -l /​dev/​debug_probe 
-lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 04-06 16:05 /​dev/​debug_probe -> ttyUSB0 
-</​code>​ 
- 
-++++ 
- 
-==== Using the debug probe ==== 
-  
-  - **Connect** the debug tool (WIRMA2_DEBUG_TOOL) with a standard ethernet cable to the “DEBUG” port and with an USB cable to the PC. 
-  - **Open** an **//​hyperterminal like//** tool on the com port with the following standard parameters: ​ 
- 
-<​code>​ 
-baudrate : 115200 
-data length : 8 
-parity : none 
-stop bit : 1 
-flow control : none 
-</​code>​ 
-{{ :​wiki:​probe.jpg |}} 
- 
-  * After getting prompt, enter login/​password (“''​root''​ / ''​pdmk-**$serialno**''​”). ''​pdmk-**$serialno**''​ is the default password on the gateway. See [[wiki:​connection_credentials#​default_password|here for more information]]. In case of failure, request password to Kerlink support team.
