Installation of Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution 6.1 Mounting of the enclosure The Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution enclosure must be mounted on any concrete pedestal, concrete wall or any non-flammable surface (UL94-V0). It must not be mounted on a flammable surface. The Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution may be mounted on a wall using the two oblong holes. Only two screws (not included) are needed, all mounting information is mentioned on the following drawing. V2.1 | 18.03.2020 |Page 4 6.2 Setting connections Before setting all connections, ensure that the power supply is not connected to the mains supply. An external LoRa antenna is connected to SMA or RP SMA connector. A 4G/3G antenna is integrated. Once the Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution is installed, you can select up to 2 technologies to access to Internet for the data backhaul:
Ethernet connection, requiring an Ethernet access through a dedicated RJ45 cable (not 4G/3G cellular connection, requiring an USIM (not included) and a data subscription (not included) included) Note that both configurations can be used in parallel. For example, RJ45 Ethernet with a 4G/3G link as a backup. Ethernet cable, power supply and LoRa antenna connections USIM card inserted Once the LoRa RF antenna, the Ethernet cable (if used) or the 4G/3G (with USIM card inserted) and the power supply jack connector are plugged, the Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution can be powered ON by connecting the power supply. V2.1 | 18.03.2020 | Page 5 The Ethernet cable is not provided and must consist of two RJ45 T 568A (or 568B) plugs on each side. KERLINK recommends using a cable with the following characteristics:
Category: 6A Shielding: STP (U/FTP) or SSTP (S/FTP) Section conductors: AWG26 External jacket: LSZH or PUR Maximum length: 100 meters LED2 LED1 LED3 The power supply jack connector supply is not provided.

Applicative software management Rx: GREEN blinking Tx: RED blinking V2.1 | 18.03.2020 | Page 6 Applicative software means embedded software running on the Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution like KERLINK Small Private Network (SPN) or Kerlink common packet forwarder or any another Packet Forwarder (software that forwards LoRa packets received to a server). Please contact your reseller to know the LEDs behavior if the applicative software installed on the Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution is not the one officially provided by KERLINK. To generate a software reset of the product : press the reset On/Off button during 1s. To turn off the gateway : press the reset On/Off button during 5s. To turn on the gateway : do a short press on the reset On/Off button. To press the buttons, a tool with a 1mm diameter must be used. For more information on the Quick start of Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution Gateway, please consult the Kerlink Wiki:
http://wikikerlink.fr/wirnet-productline/doku.php?id=playground:quickstart:quickstart_ifevo 6.4 Connection to the Web interface of the Gateway The Wirnet productline embeds a web interface to allow to easily manage the gateways:
Trigger software upgrade/update, Configure the backhaul connectivity, Trigger actions on the gateway: Turn-off, reboot, factory reset The generic syntax to access to this web interface is: http://klk-<type_GW>-<serial>/
This means:
for the Wirnet iFemtoCell: http://klk-wifc-03002e/
for the Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution: http://klk-fevo-03002e/
for the Wirnet iStation: http://klk-wiis-03002e/
for the Wirnet iBTS: http://klk-lpbs-03002e/
Note that if your computer is on the same local network, you can also use directly the IP address of your gateway in a browser to connect to the Web interface. The default credentials are:
Login: admin Password: pwd4admin For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the default passwords. 6.5 Connection in SSH to the Gateway If you want to connect to the gateway as root, please enter login/password (root / pdmk-
$serialno) of the Gateway. Note about Default password: To prevent Web robots to attack the gateway with standard login/
V2.1 | 18.03.2020 | Page 7 password such as root/root, default password is built using the last 6 digits of the serial number, of CPU module ID for Wirnet iBTS and board ID for Wirnet iFemtoCell, iFemtoCell-evolution and Wirnet iStation: pdmk-$serialno. For example, if the serial number of a CPU module is 641ATe0507DD, then the root password will be pdmk-0507DD (case sensitive). This 6 digits number can also be retrieved in the hostname. It is displayed in the shell prompt:
klk-lpbs_0507DD login: root Password: pdmk-0507DD For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the default passwords. More information on the Kerlink Wiki: www.wikikerlink.fr in the section Connect to the gateway and in the section Setup. 7. Declaration of Conformity 7.1 Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution 868 Simplified EU Declaration of Conformity Hereby, Kerlink, declares that the radio equipment type Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution 868 is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU Declaration of Conformity is available at the following internet address:
www.kerlink.com/support In Europe, the Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution 868 station must comply with the ERC 70-03 requirements regarding duty cycle and maximum EIRP. They are summarized in the following table ERC 70-03 Frequency (MHz) Power Duty Cycle h1.4 h1.5 h1.7 865-868 868-868,6 869,4-869,65 14dBm ERP 14dBm ERP 27dBm ERP 1%
1%
10%
The power supply of the Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution 868 must be a limited source of power. Note that:
If the LoRa antenna is changed, the output power must be adjusted to take into account the gain of the antenna in order to not overrule the ERC 70-03 recommandation. Some countries in Europe may have specific frequency ranges, EIRP and duty cycles regulations. Check the local regulations before installing and commissioning the Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution 868. For other countries, outside Europe, check the frequency range, the maximum EIRP and duty cycle allowed.
