iDirect Satellite Router Installation and Commissioning Guide 13
iDX Release 3.3
3 Connecting to the LAN
Port
This chapter describes how to connect to the Satellite Router LAN port to prepare to
configure and commission the router using iSite. This chapter also describes when and how to
connect to the Satellite Router Console port to determine the IP address if necessary.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• “IP Address” on page13
• “Local Area Connec
t
ion” on page14
• “Retrieving the IP Address using the Console Port” on page17
Note: This chapter applies primarily to Evolution X3,
X5 and e8000 Series Satellite
Routers that are configured with iSite. However, the procedure in “Local Area
Connection” on page14 may also be useful on Evolution X1, X7 and e150
Satellite Routers if the Satellite Router’
s
IP address is known and DHCP is
disabled on the Satellite Router. See “Connecting with Web iSite” on page41
for details.
3.1 IP Address
The IP address and subnet mask of the Satellite Router are needed to configure the Local Area
Connection. The local PC must be in the same subnet as the Satellite Router.
The Satellite Router factory default IP address is 192.168
.0.1. The default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0
. If the Satellite Router was previously used in a different network, the IP
address and subnet mask may have changed.
If the IP address and subnet mask are unknown for an Evolution X3, X5
or e8000 Series
Satellite Router, retrieve the IP configuration by accessing the iDirect Application software on
the Satellite Router using the Console port. See “Retrieving the IP Address using the Console
Port” on page17 fo
r details.
Once
the IP address and subnet mask of the Satel
lite Router are known, proceed with the
instructions in “Local Area Connection” on page14 to configure the PC in the same IP subnet
as the Satellite Router.
