Section III – SySTeM CONFIGURATION
3.0 System Configuration
Configuring the system and full diagnostics can only be done by the System Administrator and requires a login
password. The default user name and password is "admin". Change the password if desired.
3.1 Network Configuration
Configuration of LAN Settings
The Iridium Pilot Terminal allows you to configure the following LAN settings, via the web pages when logged
on as 'admin' . These settings include:
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• DHCP Server and IP Address Range to Use
• DNS Forwarding
IP Address
This is the IP address of the Iridium Pilot unit as seen from the vessel. The factory default is 192.168.0.1. You
should not change this default unless there is already LAN equipment on the vessel, in which case you must
set this to an unused IP address of ship-side LAN.
Subnet Mask
This defines the subnet used on the vessel. The factory default is 255.255.255.0. You should only change this
default if you change the IP address of the Iridium Pilot unit. All network devices must use the same subnet in
order to communicate with one another.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
This automatically provides unique IP addresses and appropriate configuration parameters to each network
device connected to the Iridium Pilot unit. In the current configuration, DHCP is disabled.
Note: While DHCP is disabled, devices connected to the Iridium Pilot unit will need to have their network
settings manually configured. There must only be one DHCP server on any network segment. Please see insert
on "how to configure network connections manually with Windows®. "
DhCP IP Address minimum and maximum
This sets the range of IP addresses for the DHCP server to use. The factory default is 192.168.0.2 to
192.168.0.254. The range specifies the maximum number of devices on the network. Both the maximum and
minimum value must be in the same subnet.
