Configuring an Ethernet Connection
Using PC-CDU
Before you can use the Ethernet option on a Net-G3A, the settings for
this connection method need to be configured. You will need the
following hardware/software components to use an Ethernet
connection.
• A computer with an Ethernet card installed and the TCP/IP
protocol configured.
• The latest version of PC-CDU.
• A Net-G3A receiver with an installed Ethernet port and the
Ethernet port option enabled. For network connections, enable
the FTP connections option. See “Managing Receiver Options”
on page 4-14 for checking receiver options.
• A network connection requires a unique static IP address whether
or not a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used on
the network, a subnet mask, and a default gateway for each
receiver.
The following procedure describes how to connect the receiver to a
computer using Ethernet ports and how to configure the receiver to be
recognized in a network. The example in this procedure uses a
protocol with the following settings:
• IP address – 192.168.0.1
• Gateway – 192.168.0.3 (For a direct connection: If two devices
are directly connected and have no connections to another
network, then the gateway address can be set to all zeros.)
• Subnet mask – 255.255.255.0
When connecting TPS receivers to a network, work
closely with the system administrator to ensure a
successful connection.
