Host name
The host name is used for identifying the VSAT system, and is displayed in
the web interface (right side of top line, next to the product name). The
default host name is
ACU
. You can change the name. Letters (a-z), digits
(0-9) and hyphen (-) are allowed as legal characters.
Note: The host name must start with a letter.
LAN Port 1
Port 1 is the service port and is used to access the web interface. By default
this port is configured as
DHCP server
and has the static IP address
http://192.168.0.1; the current value can be shown in the Base Unit display
(NETWORK > PORT 1 IP).
If you want a different setup for Port 1, you can change the IP settings.
You get the default settings back by resetting to factory default.
LAN Port 2
and 3
Port 2 and 3 can be used for connecting a user to the Internet, if set up by
the service provider.
LAN Port 4
Port 4 is a Management port and is configured to be a DHCP client. It can
be used e.g. to connect a PC on a corporate network to the web interface.
You can change the IP settings according to your needs, e.g. to use Port 4
for user data instead.
LAN Port 5
Internal LAN port, not available.
Port 5 is for connection to the internal modem and is set to static IP.
WLAN
The wireless port can be connected to one of the other ports. Set here
which of the ports 1 to 4 you want to access with WLAN. If you want to
access the web interface with WLAN, select the port used for accessing the
web interface (Port 1 or Port 4 by default). For details on WLAN setup, see
Important
For Port 1, the DHCP server is enabled by default. This means the EXPLORER
6075LX will act as server when you connect to Port 1!
