If antenna diversity is required, or additional LoRa modules are required, then the installer
has to add the missing modules inside the enclosure and mount the required N-SMB
adapters on the bottom side of the enclosure. 8 x M16 blind stops are available for that
purpose (see §4.4).
In order, to facilitate the installation, KERLINK recommends the following allocation of the
M16 blind stops for the additional N-SMB connectors:
Figure 137 : Recommended allocation of the N connectors – Standard casing
Note:
the bottom side of the enclosure does not include any label or any serigraphy to
differentiate the N connectors. This is because of the full modularity of the Wirnet iBTS. We
strongly recommend to the installer following KERLINK recommendations regarding the
placement of the connectors to facilitate the installation. The installer must ensure that the
right N connector is connected to the right SMB connector of the LoRa module and therefore
to the right antenna!
In its default configuration, the compact casing features only one N-SMB adapters used as RF
interfaces for the LoRa antenna:
