11/34 Getting Started with the HNS 9201
IP addressing on the HNS 9201
•
In normal operation, the terminal uses its built-in DHCP server to allocate IP addresses
automatically. If you want to manually set up IP addressing, you can use the terminal's
default range of IP addresses, as shown below:
Terminal IP address
Default range of IP
addresses
Subnet mask
DNS
•
To test connectivity between your computer and the terminal, ping 192.168.128.100
from your computer. If a reply is received, your computer is connected to the terminal.
•
The terminal allocates an IP address to each user connected to the Ethernet or WLAN
interface, up to a maximum of 11 users, and then maps the IP address to a network
address for full Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation
(PAT). Each user can therefore open a separate data connection from the terminal, and
does not have to share network connections. The relevant settings for the HNS 9201
are allocated along with the IP address.
192.168.128.100
192.168.128.101 to 192.168.128.254
255.255.255.0
If you use BGAN.INMARSAT.COM as
your APN, the default DNS addresses
are 172.30.66.7 and 172.30.34.7
If you use another APN, your
Distribution Partner supplies you with a
DNS address for your APN.
