INTRODUCTION General The Nera SatLink 1000 and Nera SatLink 1910 are Nera SatLink 4033 fully DVB-RCS compliant Indoor Units (IDU) de- Transceiver signed for connecting a single user or an end-user LAN to a DVB-RCS satellite network. The IDUs are designed for use on desktop. Nera SatLink 1910 can also be supplied for rack mounting.

Ethernet are: • IP address: 192.168.0.1 • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 In order to communicate with the Nera SatLink, the PC used for configuration must be set up with auto- mated address assignment DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). The SatLink configuration may also be carried out using the PC's Command Line Interface, CLI.
