In case of replacement of the USIM card, the power supply must be firstly switched off by
disconnecting Ethernet wires or disconnecting the POE injector. For few seconds, the Wirnet
iBTS is still powered-on due to the internal backup battery. Wait and check the LEDs are
switched off before extracting the USIM card.
Simply push the USIM card to extract it from the WAN module.
After inserting the new USIM card as described above, the Wirnet iBTS can be re-powered
on again.
In case of change of mobile operator, APN and login/password must be updated. This can be
done through USB update or through the local maintenance Web interface.
For more details, contact KERLINK.

Power ON
Once the RF antenna(s) and the Ethernet cable are connected and the USIM card is inserted,
the Wirnet iBTS can be powered ON.
To POWER ON the Wirnet iBTS, connect the POE injector onto the 230VAC mains supply.

When the Wirnet iBTS is powered ON then, all the LED are switched ON during seven
seconds.
Then the DEBUG green LED must be ON to indicate the power supplies are OK.
The DEBUG orange LED is blinking very fast during two seconds at the end of the boot.
Once the boot is completed and the Wirnet iBTS is in nominal configuration, then the DEBUG
orange LED is blinking every 5 seconds.
Then, to check and analyze the status of the Wirnet iBTS, a standard laptop can be
connected to the LOCAL RJ45 connector of the CPU module or the RJ45 connector of the PoE
injector. Once connected, run the maintenance Web interface as explained in next section.
