To connect to the Wirnet iBTS gateway, the following accessories are needed:

• Ethernet cable: To access/use the gateway.

• Wirma2 debug tool: Debug probe to access to linux console (optional).

• USB wire (A type < — > B type): To connect PC with debug probe.

• PoE injector or DC power supply (10V to 30V): To power the gateway.

For the following points, detailed instructions are available in the Wirnet iBTS “Installation and Maintenance manual” of the 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.

1. Plug a RJ45 cable from the network in the DATA IN socket of PoE. PoE injector LED orange is ON.
2. Plug the PoE (DATAOUT socket) to the Wirnet iBTS using a RJ45 cable. PoE injector LED green is ON.
3. Check the following status once the gateway is well powered :
   • green LED DEBUG socket is ON.
   • orange LED DEBUG socket blinks every 5 seconds.

Login/Password information are available in the dedicated credential chapter.

To use the debug probe, it is necessary to download FTDI drivers on this website.

1. Download ftdi drivers.
2. Install the drivers.

On Linux, everything should work out of the box. The serial port will be located in /dev/ttyUSB*.

1. Connect the debug tool (WIRMA2_DEBUG_TOOL) with a standard ethernet cable to the “DEBUG” port and with an USB cable to the PC.
2. Open an hyperterminal like tool on the com port with the following standard parameters:

baudrate : 115200
data length : 8
parity : none
stop bit : 1
flow control : none

• After getting prompt, enter login/password (“root / pdmk-$serialno”). pdmk-$serialno is the default password on the gateway, to recover the $serialno, please refer to the credentials page. In case of failure, request password to Kerlink support team.

• Start an SSH client (typically Putty on Windows) using port 22 and the gateway’s IP address obtained from the DHCP server.

• After getting prompt: enter login/password (“root / pdmk-$serialno”). pdmk-$serialno is the default password on the gateway, to recover the $serialno, please refer to the credentials page. In case of failure, request password to Kerlink support team.

• Start an SFTP client (typically WinSCP on Windows) using the gateway’s IP address obtained from the DHCP server.

• Enter login/password (“root / pdmk-$serialno”). pdmk-$serialno is the default password on the gateway, to recover the $serialno, please refer to the credentials page. In case of failure, request password to Kerlink support team.

• PC Ethernet wire can be connected to LOCAL port.

1. 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.
   
   
2. 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 (More information on the LOCAL Ethernet).

• After getting prompt: Enter login/password (“root/pdmk-$serialno”). pdmk-$serialno is the default password on the gateway, to recover the $serialno, please refer to the credentials page. In case of failure, request password to Kerlink support team.

To retrieve files easily with a graphical interface, WinSCP can be used: Download link.

WinSCP acts as the Linux scp command, allowing to retrieve file with a copy/paste or drag'n'drop from a distant server to a computer.

Install WinSCP as a classic Windows program and run it.

1 - Configure file protocol. Here, Secured File Transfert Protocol is required.
2 - Configure iBTS' IP address.
3 - Enter username : default is root.
4 - Enter password : default is the following pattern pdmk-XXXXXX where XXXXXX are hexadecimal units of iBTS hostname. More informations here.
5 - Click to login.

1 - Copy/paste or drag'n'drop the file on computer's side window.
2 - A window will appear - Click OK - to confirm the transfer.
3 - Check the folder where the file has been downloaded. It is now on the computer's folder.
