Devices
The BDU includes four Ethernet ports and a built-in
wireless access point (WAP). Unless you changed the port
configuration at the Setup Wizard, Ethernet ports 1 and 2
and the built-in Wi-Fi are on the “High-speed” LAN, while
ports 3 and 4 are on the “Unlimited Use” LAN. Follow
these additional steps to set up the network.
1. Connect the customer’s computers and/or other
network devices to the BDU. You might wish to add an
external WAP (or Wi-Fi router configured for bridge
mode) to supplement built-in Wi-Fi access.

2. Devices connected to the BDU (via Ethernet cables or
Wi-Fi) will receive IP addresses from the BDU via
DHCP. The BDU serves as a router.
Note: Unless you changed the LAN settings at the Setup
Wizard, the High-speed (HS) LAN has a gateway of
192.168.5.1 and assigns IP addresses in the 192.168.5.50-
150 range, and the Unlimited Use (UL) LAN has a gateway
of 192.168.6.1 and assigns IP addresses in the
192.168.6.50-150 range.
Global Static IP
Global Static IP service allows you to set up a network
device with an IP address that can be accessed directly
from the Internet. It does not receive an IP address from
the BDU. If you require Global Static IP Service, follow
these additional steps to configure the network.
1. Fill out the request form at www.kvh.com/staticip. In
addition, the system must be activated for KVH ONE
service, and it must remain online until KVH configures
the system over the air.
2. Connect the static IP device(s) to the BDU.
3. You will need to configure the devices’ TCP/IP
properties according to the instructions KVH will
provide in an email upon fulfilling the static IP request.
IMPORTANT!
A static IP address should only be assigned to a secure
device, such as a firewall router.
