shall be displayed. Recommended Telnet clients are Tera Term (see Appendix C), PuTTY
2
, and the
built in Telnet client in Windows. Note that Local Echo by default is set to “off” in Windows XP.
Alternatively HyperTerminal or another terminal emulator connected via the serial interface can be
used (see Appendix A). From this point the SatLink VSAT can also be managed via the Web
interface and SNMP.
Use the SatLink VSAT’s Satellite Interface (DVB) IP address when using Telnet over the satellite
link (from the Hub), and the VSAT’s LAN (Ethernet) IP address when using Telnet from the local
LAN.
When shipped from the factory the SatLink 1000,1910 and 2000, VSAT LAN (Ethernet) IP-addresses
are set to 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. If the SatLink VSAT LAN (Ethernet)
IP-address has been changed from the factory default to an unknown address, one must use CLI via
serial COM port to do the initial configuration.
The SatLink VSAT can handle at most three simultaneous Telnet connections including aborted
connections. The Telnet session will be automatically terminated after 20 minutes without activity. If
a Telnet session is refused this can be due to all three connections being aborted. Please wait until the
timeout has expired and try again.
5) Login as the administrator user install with the factory default password dvbrcs:
Login: install
Password: dvbrcs
One must press Enter once to get the login-prompt to display if using the CLI via serial
port. If the input from the keyboard is not displayed when typing the username and
password, check that the Local Echo is enabled in the Telnet client.
6) The SatLink VSAT should now be ready to be configured as described in the following sub-sections.
9.2 Initial Configuration of Parameters
The VSAT must be configured with a number of parameters before the VSAT can acquire the forward
link and communicate with the network Hub. A default configuration specifying most of these parameters
is usually pre-loaded on each STM SatLink VSAT, either in the factory or by the service provider before
installation. The parameters that usually need to be configured by the installer are:
- Antenna to be used
- Forward link frequency and symbol rate
- VSAT population ID.
- VSAT geographical position
Most Satlink networks enforces automatic configuration of VSAT parameters, like IP
addresses, DHCP server configuration, DNS server, SW licenses and PEP parameters
when the VSAT logs on to the network for the first time. For manual configuration of
these parameters refer to Appendix H.
