5. Using the SatLink VSAT Web Interface
The SatLink VSAT Web interface supports managing the most common configuration parameters and
viewing the status of the STM SatLink VSAT. The web-browser currently supported is Microsoft Internet
Explorer, but other browsers like e.g. Opera 9.x typically work fine as well. The functions available via
the Web-interface are:
• Configuring the most commonly used satellite interface parameters
• Configuring the most commonly used IP parameters
• Return link line-up procedure
• Viewing status information for the satellite interface
• Viewing traffic statistics
• Viewing device information
• Viewing status of the DHCP server
• Viewing Event log information
Advanced functions such as adding SW licenses, configuring GRE tunnels, downloading software
updates manually, configuring automatic software updates, configuring system information, adding users
and changing password, configuring SNMP access, and adding manual IP routes, etc, are only available
from the CLI via Telnet or the RS-232 port.
To manage the SatLink VSAT via the Web interface, start the web browser and type in the IP address of
the STM SatLink VSAT in the address field as shown in Figure 14. The factory default IP address of the
SatLink VSAT is 192.168.0.1. Use the STM SatLink VSAT’s Satellite Interface (DVB) IP address when
connecting to the VSAT over the satellite link (from the Hub), and the STM SatLink VSAT’s LAN
(Ethernet) IP address when connecting to the VSAT from the local LAN. Then enter the username and
password to logon to the VSAT.
