The Wirnet™ iStation 915 Helium is an outdoor LoRa Gateway for IoT chain. It is based on LoRa® technology provided by

Semtech Company and is fully compatible and interoperable with existing LoRa LPWAN.

With its specific configuration, it is a dedicated Helium-network compatible

hotspot to mine HNT. To do so, it needs to be clearly mentioned once ordered as

it use a specific cryptographic private key, a dedicated software, and Helium

miner. If you have any doubt, please check directly with your reseller to ensure it

is Helium-network compatible.

6 Installation of Wirnet™ iStation

6.1 Mounting of the enclosure

When installing the product, the ground connection must always be made first.

The Wirnet™ iStation enclosure can be mounted on a pole by strapping (see the following

example), any concrete pedestal, concrete wall or any non-flammable surface (UL94-V0).

The pole or mast should be also connected to ground.

connection on the Wirnet™

iStation

Installation the Wirnet™

iStation on the support

6.2 Mounting of the antenna and the cavity filter

The antenna should be also connected to the ground.

The pole diameter shall 48mm max.

Mount the antenna on the pole using the U-bolts as follows:

Mount the U bolts on the antenna

Mount the antenna and U-bolts on

the pole

Remove the cap on the N

connector of the antenna

• Use a M6 wrench to screw the nuts of the U bolt.

• The M6 nuts shall be screwed at their maximum to ensure safe tightening.

• The M6 bolts can be used for ground connection

Remove the caps on the N connector of the cavity filter and screw the cavity filter onto the antenna as follows:

Remove caps on both N

connectors

Screw the cavity filter onto the

antenna through the N connector

Screw the coaxial cable onto the N

connector of the cavity filter

• Use a M19 wrench to screw the cavity filter and the coaxial cable.

6.3 Setting antenna connection

Before setting all connections, ensure that the power supply is not connected to the mains

supply.

GNSS and 3G/4G antennas are integrated and do not require any intervention.

The external LoRa antenna shall be connected to gateway through the cavity filter.

On the gateway side, remove the RF switch cap n°3 (please refer on the chart page 3) and then screw the

N connector of the coaxial cable.

Unscrew RF switch cap

Screw coaxial cable

• Use a M19 wrench to screw the cavity filter and the coaxial cable.

• The distance between the cavity

filter / antenna and the gateway shall

be limited to 1m max due to the

coaxial cable length. If longer

distance is required, use an alternate

coaxial (not provided by Kerlink)

• Use strapping wires to attach the RF

coaxial cable to the pole

• To avoid environmental aggression

(moisture, pollution, etc.) and ensure

their reliability, use self-amalgamating

tape on the N connector as show below :

6.4 Setting backhaul connection

Once the Wirnet™ iStation is installed, you can select up to 2 technologies to set up the access to Internet

for the data backhaul:

• Ethernet connection, requiring an Ethernet access through a dedicated RJ45 cable (not included)

• 3G/4G cellular connection, requiring an USIM (not included) and a data subscription (not included)

Note that both configurations can be used in parallel. For example, RJ45 Ethernet with a 3G / 4G link as a

backup.

Ethernet connection

Insert SIM

Regarding the power supply, the following equipments can be used:

• End-Span or Mid-Span at least a 15W PoE (Power over Ethernet) (not included)

6.5 Assembly instruction for sealing the connectors

Pay attention to the gasket when screwing the 2 caps : if you screw too hard, it

may twist.

Here is an example of what is OK and what is not.

If you use a torque wrench, the tightening torque should be 1.6 Nm maximum

To avoid environmental aggression (moisture, pollution, etc.) and ensure their

reliability, use a self-amalgamating tape on the N connector as show below :

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

• Cable gland 6.6-8.6mm.

Operating temperature range: -40°C to +60°C

Altitude max. < 2000m / hygrometry 95% non-condensing

6.6 Power ON

• A push-button is available on the bottom of enclosure.

• The RESET button must be pressed during 1s to generate a SW reset of the product.

• Note that a long press for 5s halts the gateway.

Once the power is “On”, please check the LED status and start the SW configuration.

The iStation should power on, showing:

• a solid green LED (Power LED, under the power button),

• accompanied by a red LED (Status LED =operations status) starting solid, then blinking during bootup.

For more information on the « Quick start of Wirnet™ iStation Gateway, please consult the Kerlink Wiki:

http://wikikerlink.fr/wirnet-productline/doku.php?id=wiki:quickstart:quickstart_istation

6.7 First connection

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 iStation: http://klk-wiis-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 available on the wiki.

For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the default passwords.
