6. Installaon of Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon
6.1 Mounng of the enclosure
• The Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon enclosure must be
mounted on any concrete pedestal, concrete wall or any
non-ammable surface (UL94-V0).
• It must not be mounted on a ammable surface.
The Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon may be mounted on a wall using
the two oblong holes.
Only two screws (not included) are needed, all mounng informaon
is menoned on the following drawing.
V3.0 | 01.06.2020 |Page 4

6.2 Seng connecons
Before seng all connecons, 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-evoluon is installed, you can select up to 2 technologies to access
to Internet for the data backhaul:
• Ethernet connecon, requiring an Ethernet access through a dedicated RJ45 cable (not
included)
• 4G/3G cellular connecon, requiring an USIM (not included) and a data subscripon (not
included)
Note that both conguraons can be used in parallel. For example, RJ45 Ethernet with a 4G/3G
link as a backup.
Ethernet cable, power supply and LoRa antenna connecons 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-evoluon can be
powered ON by connecng the power supply.
V3.0 | 01.06.2020 | 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 characteriscs:
• Category: 6A
• Shielding: STP (U/FTP) or SSTP (S/FTP)
• Secon conductors: AWG26
• External jacket: LSZH or PUR
• Maximum length: 100 meters
The power supply jack connector supply is not provided.
Please check accessories preconized by Kerlink
Operang temperature range: -20°C to +55°C
Humidity: 5% to 95%
Altude max. < 2000m

Applicave soware means embedded soware running on the Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon
like KERLINK Small Private Network (SPN) or Kerlink « common » packet forwarder or any another
Packet Forwarder (soware that forwards LoRa packets received to a server).
Please contact your reseller to know the LEDs behavior if the applicave soware installed on the
Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon is not the one ocially provided by KERLINK.
To generate a soware reset of the product : press the reset On/O buon during 1s.
To turn o the gateway : press the reset On/O buon during 5s.
To turn on the gateway : do a short press on the reset On/O buon.
To press the buons, a tool with a 1mm diameter must be used.
For more informaon on the « Quick start of Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon Gateway, please
consult the Kerlink Wiki:

6.4 Connecon to the Web interface of the Gateway
The Wirnet productline embeds a web interface to allow to easily manage the gateways:
• Trigger soware upgrade/update,
• Congure the backhaul connecvity,
• Trigger acons on the gateway: Turn-o, reboot, factory reset …
The generic syntax to access to this web interface is: hp://klk-<type_GW>-<serial>/
This means:
• for the Wirnet iFemtoCell: hp://klk-wifc-03002e/
• for the Wirnet iFemtoCell-evoluon: hp://klk-fevo-03002e/
• for the Wirnet iStaon: hp://klk-wiis-03002e/
• for the Wirnet iBTS: hp://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 credenals are:
Login: admin
Password: pwd4admin
For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the default passwords.
6.5 Connecon 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 aack the gateway with standard login/

7. Declaraon of Conformity
7.1 Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon 868
Simplied EU Declaraon of Conformity
Hereby, Kerlink, declares that the radio equipment type Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon 868 is in
compliance with Direcve 2014/53/EU.
The full text of the EU Declaraon of Conformity is available at the following internet address:
www.kerlink.com/support
In Europe, the Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon 868 staon 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
h1.4 865-868 14dBm ERP 1%
h1.5 868-868,6 14dBm ERP 1%
h1.7 869,4-869,65 27dBm ERP 10%
The power supply of the Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon 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 recommandaon.
Some countries in Europe may have specic frequency ranges, EIRP and duty cycles regulaons. Check the
local regulaons before installing and commissioning the Wirnet™ iFemtoCell-evoluon 868.
For other countries, outside Europe, check the frequency range, the maximum EIRP and duty cycle allowed.
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-evoluon and
Wirnet iStaon: pdmk-$serialno.
For example, if the serial number of a CPU module is 641ATe0507DD, then the root password will
be pdmk-0507DD (case sensive).
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 informaon on the Kerlink Wiki: www.wikikerlink.fr in the secon “Connect to the gateway”
and in the secon “Setup”.
