4.1.2 Static IP configuration of PCs connected to the VSAT LAN
When the DHCP server in the SatLink VSAT is disabled, all PCs attached to the VSAT LAN must be
configured with static IP addresses that are within the address range of the VSAT subnet. The IP
configuration parameters to use for PCs connected to the VSAT LAN are supplied from the system
operator or service provider. Configure the IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway, Preferred DNS
server, and optionally the Alternate DNS server as shown in Figure 13.
Ensure that the actual IP addresses supplied by the system operator/service provider are
configured and not the IP addresses in the example figure.

Example:
A host may have the following configuration; IP address 192.168.0.2, Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and
default gateway 192.168.0.1, where the IP address of the default gateway should be the IP address of the
VSAT LAN interface.
