Satellite-Based Commissioning; Obtaining An Ip Address From The Hx200 Satellite Router - Hughes HX200 Installation Manual

Satellite-based
commissioning
Obtaining an IP address
from the HX200 satellite
Satellite-based commissioning (SBC) is the another
commissioning method. Commissioning the satellite router using
SBC consists of the following tasks:

• Obtaining an IP address from the HX200 satellite router

• Uploading the SBC configuration file to the HX200
• Commissioning the HX200
router
Note: In the following procedure, installer laptop refers to the
computer—typically a laptop—used to connect to and commission
the HX200.
1. Ensure that the installer laptop is configured to support the
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) to obtain an IP
address. Refer to Appendix A for instructions on how to
configure a Windows computer to use DHCP.
2. Verify that the installer laptop is connected to the HX200 by
an Ethernet cable.
3. Open a command window on the installer laptop and obtain
an IP address from a DHCP server. For example, on a
Windows computer, type:
ipconfig /release <
4. Type
ipconfig /renew <
Note: To view all IP configuration commands on a
Windows platform, type ipconfig /help at a command
line prompt and press
If the HX200 does not assign an IP address to the installer
laptop, restart the laptop to obtain the IP address. The
assigned IP address will be on the same subnet as the IP of
the connected satellite router LAN port, typically
192.168.0.2.
5. Execute a ping test to verify an active Ethernet connection
between the HX200 and the installer laptop:
a. Open a command window on the installer laptop.
b. Type
Note: If an alternate IP address was assigned to the satellite
router at the system gateway, ping that IP address instead.
