SHAPING THE FUTURE OF SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
5.3 Management Using the Ethernet Interface
5.3.1 Cabling
Use a crossed network cable for a direct connection between the Ethernet port of
the demodulator to the Ethernet port of a computer. In case the connection to the
device is done via a hub or switch, straight network cables are used.
5.3.2 Settings
The Elevation platform is equipped with a powerful and easy-to-use graphical user
interface (GUI) that allows you to remotely monitor and control your equipment
through a web browser.
To use the web interface, adapt the TCP/IP properties of the computer so you can
manually set an IP address that is within the range of the device IP address. For
example: take IP address 10.0.0.2 on the computer and 10.0.0.1 on the device.
Make sure that no pop-up blockers or firewall are active!
To adapt the TCP/IP properties on a typical Windows computer:
Choose Start > Connect To > Show all connections;
Right-click Local Area Connection;
Click Properties;
Scroll down and click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP);
Click Properties;
Choose Use the following IP address;
Enter the following data:
- IP address, for example:10.0.0.2;
- Subnet mask, for example: 255.255.255.0.
