Registration
If you have not done so already you will need to register your gateway through your Developer or RAN Provider account.
Note
The serial number for the iFemtoCell is "0x" followed by the last 4 Bytes of the EUI which can be found on bottom of the Gateway. Alternatively it can be found by looking at the serial_number object in this file: /tmp/sys_startup_status.json
Installation
SSH to the Kerlink iFemtoCell and change your working directory to tmp.
cd /tmp
Copy and paste the following command into the iFemtoCell SSH console.
OS Version | Command | |
---|---|---|
OS 4.3.3 |
|
|
OS 5.11.x |
|
Run the command. The installation is automatic and will prompt you once it has completed.
When the installation has completed reboot your iFemtoCell.
reboot
Once registration and Gateway software installation are complete the Gateway will be displayed in the Senet Portal Dashboard with the current registration status (this may require a refresh of the browser). For more information controlling the Senet Gateway Software, please refer to our Gateway FAQ.
