Description of the system components
98-145510-E Chapter 2: Introduction 2-9
2.2.6 LAN ports and WLAN
The ACU has five configurable LAN connectors (type RJ45). LAN 2, LAN 3 and LAN 5 are
switched, i.e. the configuration for LAN 5 also applies to LAN 2 and LAN 3.
The default configuration is as follows:
• LAN 1 is used for system control via the web interface.
If you want to use the front connector instead of LAN 1, connect the short LAN cable
(37-206570-025) between LAN 1 and LAN X (Front) in the connector panel. LAN X is
internally connected to the front LAN connector.
• LAN 5 is used to connect to the VSAT modem.
• LAN 4 is configured as a DHCP client.
The ACU has a WLAN module. Access to one of the LAN ports using WLAN must be set up
in the web interface, see To configure the LAN network on page 6-14.
2.2.7 Power supply
The power input for the ACU and modem is specified as follows: Nominal:100-240 VAC,
50/60 Hz, using IEC320 connector. The antenna is powered by the ACU.
