6 Installation of Wirnet™ iStation

6.1 Mounting of the enclosure

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 optional 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 equipment’s can be used:

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

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 Assembly instructions for sealing the connectors

6.4 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.
