Kerlink provides a packet forwarder (CPF) compatible with Wirnet iBTS gateways. A packet forwarder is the main program of a LoRa gateway. It has to be installed and configured to implement a LoRaWAN network.

Starting with Wirnet gateways firmware version v4.3.0, packet forwarder is included in the firmware. The CPF does not need to be installed. The CPF needs to be enable. To consult how to enable the CPF:click here

Pre-compiled packet forwarder installation - firmware before 4.3

Once the packet forwarder is installed on the gateway, it must be configured to be functional.

• Go on the Kerlink Common Packet forwarder page and select your CPF version: click here
• On the CPF configuration page look at the chapter “How to configure and monitor the packet forwarder?”

If needed the factory reset of the gateway is feasible. Consult the stock restore process: click here
