6 Installation of Wirnet iFemtoCell

6.1 Mounting of the enclosure

The Wirnet iFemtoCell may be mounted on a wall using the two oblong holes. Only two screws (not included) are needed, all mounting informations are mentioned on the following drawing:

The Wirnet iFemtoCell 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.

6.2 Setting connections

When the Wirnet iFemtoCell is installed, three configurations are possible regarding the technology used to access Internet:

 Ethernet connection, requiring an Ethernet access through a dedicated RJ45 cable  Wi-Fi connection, requiring a Wi-Fi access point  3G/4G connection via USB dongle (optional) and an USIM subscription (not included)

The three configurations may be used in parallel. A typical example is the possibility to insure Ethernet backup by a 3G/4G link.

The required connections needed to operate the Wirnet iFemtoCell are listed below (see chapter 4 “Overview” for details of connectors):

 Power supply  Ethernet cable (not included)  LoRa antenna  USB mass-storage key (not included)  3G/4G USB dongle (optional) and an USIM subscription (not included)

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

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

• Operating temperature range:-20°C to +55°C

In case of 3G/4G connection with USB dongle:

• KERLINK recommends using a validated USB dongle (contact your reseller to have the list of validated USB dongles). Alternative dongle may require additional drivers and firmware update to be used.

• To optimize the radio performances, when possible, KERLINK strongly recommends dissociating the 3G/4G USB dongle away from the enclosure and the LoRa antenna by using a 1 meter extension cable.
