| - | The detailed installation procedure is described in the [[wiki:resources:resources#installation_and_maintenance|Wirnet™ iStation Product Description]] document. This procedure must be read, the integrity of the gateway, its warranty and its efficiency depend on it. | + | Installation of a LoRaWAN gateway shall be carefully prepared in advance to anticipate the future coverage area, QoS and make sure that all needed equipment’s are listed and are available the D-day but also to be sure that the installation is conformed to the Kerlink recommendations : {{ :documentation:an-klk03357_-_lorawan_gateways_installation_recommendations_-_v1.2.pdf | Gateways installation recommendations}}. |
| + | |||
| + | <note warning>If you are using an **external antenna** bigger than 35cm (the 3dBi antenna should be less than 35cm), it’s **mandatory** to connect a coaxial cable between the iStation and the external antenna. \\ | ||

| + | <note warning>If you are using a cavity filter, it’s **mandatory** to connect a coaxial cable between the iStation and the cavity filter. \\ See {{ :documentation:an-klk03357_-_lorawan_gateways_installation_recommendations_-_v1.2.pdf |Gateways installation recommendations}} - Chapter 3.6.6.7 Cavity filters</note> | ||
| + | <note important> | ||
| + | Kerlink found disparity in the length of the pins of the accessories that could be connected to the Wirnet™ iStation. If these pins are too long, they can mechanically permanently damage the Wirnet iStation connector internal mechanical switch that selects the internal or external antenna, thus potentially generating performance issues and preventing the later use of the internal antenna. \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | If you want to connect accessories (like external antenna or surge protector)\\ | ||
| + | and ensure the full performance and flexibility of your product, we thus strongly\\ | ||
| + | recommend the use of **an adapter for the connector**. \\ | ||
| + | Please read the installation guideline document : {{ :documentation:doc_guidelines_for_the_wirnet_istation_version_2023_-v0.2.pdf |}}\\ | ||
