3) Wait for the application software to be loaded and activated (typically takes 1-1.5 minutes).
The power LED on the front of the SatLink VSAT will blink when the SW is booting and will stay on
when the SW has successfully started. If watching the boot process on the RS-232 output, a printout
similar to this will be displayed when the SW has booted:
Loading application......................
SatLink 2900
- Main board ID 120265, Revision R2.1
- SW ID 120208, Revision 14.1.0 Build 41
File system initialised
Ethernet Interface 1 MAC Address: 00:20:0e:10:44:92
Ethernet Interface 2 MAC Address: 00:20:0e:10:44:93
DVB Interface MAC Address: 00:20:0e:10:44:92
Retrieving configuration....done
When the SatLink VSAT is configured for use with the SatLink 4033/4035 transceiver and the
TX cable is not connected to the ODU, the following error message will be shown when the
SW has booted:
ODU Initialisation failed. Unable to establish DiSEqC communication.
Please check connection to ODU and that the ODU supports
DiSEqC communication
This is normal and just indicates that the VSAT cannot communicate with the transceiver
since the cable is not yet connected.
4) At this point, the Telnet server in the SatLink VSAT is started and a Telnet session can be opened for
managing the VSAT. Local Echo must be enabled in the Telnet Client if the input from the keyboard
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, 2000, and 2900 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 of inactivity. 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.
