Dual Dome Configuration
The dual dome configuration allows you to
connect a second TracPhone V-IP Series antenna
as a backup system. Whenever the primary
system loses its connection to the mini-VSAT
Broadband service, all voice and data traffic will
automatically get routed to the secondary
system.
IMPORTANT!
The dual dome configuration only supports a
second TracPhone V-IP Series antenna. To use
another type of antenna, contact Network
Services at networkservices@kvh.com.
a. Install the secondary TracPhone system
according to the instructions in the
Installation Guide.
b. Once the secondary TracPhone system is
online, contact KVH Technical Support to
request a dual dome configuration on the
secondary system's ICM. KVH will need to
modify a setting over the air.
c. Connect your laptop to the secondary system.
At the web interface, select the Dual Dome-
Secondary network configuration.
NOTE: Once the secondary system is configured for
Dual Dome-Secondary, you will need to enter
192.168.0.10 (and not minivsat.kvh) to access the
secondary system's web interface.
d. Connect your laptop to the primary system.
At the web interface, select the Dual Dome-
Primary network configuration.
e. Connect an Ethernet cable from any "User
Ethernet" port on the secondary system's
ICM to "User Ethernet" port 4 on the primary
system's ICM (see Figure 53).
f. Connect the customer's computers and/or
network devices to "User Ethernet" ports 1-3
and Wi-Fi on the primary system's ICM.
These ports and the built-in WAP provide
direct Internet access without a user login.
Follow the steps in "Standard Configuration"
on page 27.
