To connect to the Wirnet™ iBTS gateway, the following accessories are needed:
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).
For the following points, detailed instructions are available in the Wirnet™ iBTS “Installation and Maintenance manual” of the iBTS setup page.
There are two ways to power on the Wirnet™ iBTS:
Please see the connection, login and credentials page for more information on how to connect to your iBTS.
You can connect a PC directly to the iBTS with a cable to its LOCAL Ethernet port.
See here for more information about SSH/HTTP connection details.
To use the debug probe, it is necessary to download FTDI drivers on this website.
On Linux, everything should work out of the box. The serial port will be located in /dev/ttyUSB*.
It is necessary to tell the Kernel to load the proper FTDI driver when the debug probe is plugged.
To do so, list the USB devices and see the product and vendor IDs:
$ 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
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:
$ lsmod | grep ftdi ftdi_sio 53248 1 usbserial 53248 3 ftdi_sio
Next, create a udev rule matching this, and place it in a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usbftdi.rules (for example):
# 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"
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:
$ ls -l /dev/debug_probe lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 04-06 16:05 /dev/debug_probe -> ttyUSB0
baudrate : 115200 data length : 8 parity : none stop bit : 1 flow control : none
root / pdmk-$serialno”). pdmk-$serialno is the default password on the gateway. See here for more information. In case of failure, request password to Kerlink support team.
