or update - even when connected locally. If you decide that the delay is not worth the ability to manually control the
Toughsat, follow the above steps and set the refresh rate back to 500.
Please note that anything that takes the antenna offline will also compromise your ability to control it. If you tell it to stow
while remotely connected, it will remain offline and stowed until someone locally commands it to search. If you hit “Find
Satellite” you will lose communication until it again acquires the network. You may also wish to set a _password_ on the
system to control access.
Updating the Toughsat FLASH file
You will receive a file from Ground Control containing a file with the same name as your Toughsat serial number. Make
sure that the file name matches your serial number, then unzip the attachment. Connect a laptop to your system and bring
up an FTP client. Connect to 192.168.1.2., username is “admin” and the password is “boomerang58”.
Make sure the dish is stopped. It doesn't need to be stowed, but it cannot be moving at this time. Upload the file to the
root directory of the FTP server. Turn the controller off, wait 10 seconds and turn it back on. Navigate to 192.168.1.2 and
check to see if the serial number has updated to 10940. If it has, wait 30 seconds for the unit to finish flashing the memory
then try to stow the dish - the dish should stow fully.
If you had any custom satellite settings, you will need to reconfigure them, as well as any custom IP’s that had been set.
