Preparing the PC/Laptop for Connection to the X1 Router (Indoor)
5.6.2 Powering Up the System
The X1 Router (Indoor) can be powered directly from the facility AC power source from 100
VAC to 240 VAC or from a DC power supply, per specifications in Chapter 3 on page 9.
1. Connect the power module to the X1 Router (Indoor)
2. Apply power
Upon boot up, the POWER LED illuminates green, and within several seconds the STATUS LED
flashes green as the unit performs a self-diagnostic test. If this test is successful, the STATUS
LED illuminates green. If the test fails, the STATUS LED illuminates red.
After the initial hardware diagnostic, the system takes approximately one minute to complete
the boot up cycle, during which the STATUS LED flashes green. If the application successfully
loads, the STATUS LED illuminates solid green. If the application cannot start due to
configuration or other errors, all LEDs may simultaneous flash red. Once the router is
initialized, a typical functional factory default option file is loaded.
5.7 Preparing the PC/Laptop for Connection to the X1
Router (Indoor)
Connect the laptop to the LAN port, see Section 4.1.2, X1 Router (Indoor) Rear Panel on
page 19 location. The LAN port is normally assigned to the WAN (towards the VPN). Its IP
address is the next hop for the VPN. The IP address of the X1 Router, 192.168.0.1, is
important to have to be able to use the Web Interface program (Web iSite).
Ensure that the PC/laptop:
• Has an IP address that is on the same subnet of the X1 Router
• Includes a Network Interface Card (NIC) connected with a CAT 5 cable to the 10/100 LAN
port of the X1 Router (Indoor)
• Has a Web browser installed
WARNING: Improper AC power source rating, excessive noise or transients, or
undersized circuit breaker will result in service interruption.
WARNING: If power from the chassis must be removed, disconnect power using
the AC power cord.
CAUTION: Do not connect or disconnect the Tx or Rx IFL cable while the satellite
router is powered on; this action may result in damage to the BUC, LNB, and/or
X1 Router.
NOTE: The STATUS LED is normally green. A red STATUS LED indicates a
malfunction of the X1 Router (Indoor). iDirect recommends that the chassis be
powered from a low noise, low transient power source.
