Connecting to ROSS via LAN (Telnet) Connection
This connection interface is used for local LAN or remote control over the satellite
communications link. It operates using the same Putty application with a different setup
configuration. It is possible to establish local communications without initially configuring the
network interface IP address in the event that a serial cable is not available.
Each ROSS unit uses a factory default IP address and mask: "192.168.254.3/24". When
configuring ROSS with its default IP address, any host IP address must be configured to be
within the 192.168.254.0 subnet.
Note it extremely important to ensure that the correct IP address is assigned. An incorrect
address may cause the ROSS unit to be unreachable from a remote host.
1. Connect the CAT5 cables as shown below, note if an Ethernet switch is not available
use a crossover LAN cable between ROSS and PC.
