Iridium Pilot™ Installation Guide 25
Section III – NETWORK CONFIGURATION
The second half of this manual requires network administrative skills to complete the integration with the
IT subsystem. It should only be performed if the installer has the appropriate knowledge and background.
If the Below Deck Equipment (BDE) is to be connected to a down-stream port of an Ethernet hub or switch
then the user will need to use a crossover Ethernet cable. Data Service must be provisioned before you can
connect to the Internet. The data LED will be illuminated green if your Iridium Pilot unit is provisioned for data.
For a Single PC
• Connect directly to the data port of the BDE
• Use a standard Ethernet cable
• Congure PC for static conguration ( for more details see User Manual)
For Multiple PCs
• Connect the switch/hub/router to the data port on the BDE using a crossover Ethernet cable.
• Connect the PCs to the Ethernet switch, hub or router (Note: these multiple devices will be sharing the same satellite
connection over the Iridium network, the more devices connected the smaller the share of the connection.)
• Depending on how your ship-side LAN is congured you may or may not want the IBSU to act as a DHCP server
and to perform DNS forwarding, see the Iridium Pilot User Manual for instructions on how to change settings.
10. Initial System Conguration
There are two levels of diagnostic information available, basic and administrator. Conguring the system and
full diagnostics can only be done by the System Administrator and requires a login password.
Accessing the IBSU Web Pages
1. Connect a PC to the data port on the BDE
2. Open the web browser and in the web browser address window, type: http://192.168.0.1.
Note: The default IP address is assigned to the IBSU at the factory. The IP address can be changed if there are
multiple IBSU’s at a single site (if this has been done then type in the new IP address). To reset the IP address
back to the default (192.168.0.1), press the network reset button on the BDE.
1. Select “Login” for administrator level diagnostics. Type in the user name and password specied by Iridium
(default user name and password is “admin”). Call your Service Provider if login fails.
2. Select the appropriate link:
