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).

6.2 Setting connections
Before setting all connections, ensure that the power supply is not connected to
the mains supply.
GNSS, 3G/4G and LoRa antenna are integrated. An external optionnal LoRa antenna can be added by
opening
the n°3 (please refer on the chart page 3) button and then screw the antenna directly or via a cable.
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.
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)
www.ime.de
ime mobile solutions GmbH • Borsigstraße 7-9 • D-93092 Barbing • [phone] • info@ime de • www ime de
04-12-19

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
6.3 First connection
• A push-button is available on the bottom of enclosure.
• The ON/OFF/RST button must be pressed during 1s to generate a SW reset of the product.
• Note that a long press for 5s turns off 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.

The power supply of the Wirnet™ iStation 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™ iStation
868.
