The wirnet iStation is the replacement of the legacy Wirnet Station gateway. It is an outdoor LoRaWAN nano gateway that can be easily connected through Ethernet or cellular, with a built-in LoRa 2.6 dBi antenna..

Powering the iStation #
Use a POE-enabled switch, or use a POE injector, then connect the RJ45 cable to the iStation.
Alternatively, it is also possible to supply DC power. The input voltage range is 42 to 57VDC and power supply is isolated.
Connecting to the iStation #
iStations are named after their serial number and are called klk-wiis-XXXXXX
. You can replace the XXXXXX
by the six hexadecimal digits from the serial number which are also the last six hexadecimal digits of the Board ID (printed on the bottom of the gateway).
For example, if an iStation has
921CHa010001
as board ID, the host name will be:klk-wiis-010001
Ethernet or cellular #
Both ethernet and cellular can be used, though for setup Ethernet is preferred.
iStation login/password #
To prevent Web robots from attacking the gateway with standard login/password “root/root”, default password is built using the last 6 characters of the board ID: pdmk-XXXXXX
.
For example, if an iStation has 921CHa010001
as board ID, then the root password will be pdmk-010001
(case sensitive).
klk-wiis-010001 login: root
Password: pdmk-010001
For security reasons, it is highly recommended to change the password. You can do so with the command:
passwd
