Preamble

The gateway used is a Wirnet iStation 868, connected to a LAN/WAN using a 48V/30W PoE Adapter (gateway requires less than 9W).

Gateway EUI is 7076FF00560503F6, so short id (refering to CPU, ...) is 0503F6.

Accessing Web interface

This step requires a web browser on a machine connected to the same LAN.

The gateway web interface is accessible through either:

• http://gw_ip (e.g. http://192.68.1.199)
• http://gw_model-gwid (e.g. http://klk-wiis-0503F6), as explained in the quick start guide

Authentication (default login/pwd is admin / pwd4admin) leads to the Overview page allowing to check network connection status, gateway ID and FW version:

The Administration page allows to:

• configure network (GSM requires a SIM and enables remote management using SMS, see commands)

• upgrade firmware:

• change password or reboot/reset gateway

Upgrading firmware to the latest version

As described here, upgrade can be done through web interface, by loading either:

• a kerOs ipk file, for a minor version upgrade
• a live burner ipk file, for a major upgrade

Here, as current version is 4.3.3 and target version is 5.11.0, the custom livre burner image has been used.

Once upgraded and rebooted, the web interface shows that gateway has been successfully upgraded:

N.B. Even if the provided custom live burner image has been used, gateway configuration has been lost during upgrade.
