Subscriber Unit IP Communication Issues
Each subscriber unit has three available IP addresses as listed below:
Each of these three IP addresses must be used in a different subnet. If you do not separate
these IP addresses, there is a chance that the subscriber unit may be unable to determine
to which interface, packets should be sent. This could cause many problems, such as
DHCP/ToD timeouts, or loss of remote management connectivity.
Local Connectivity
If local connectivity (computer connected directly to the subscriber unit’s Ethernet port)
cannot be established, you must verify the following:
Step 1
Verify that your computer’s IP address is in the same subnet as the subscriber unit’s local
IP address. Attempt to ping the local IP address.
ping
192.168.101.2
Step 2
Configure your computer with an IP address in the 192.168.101.0/24 subnet (i.e.
192.168.101.10).
Step 3
Ping the subscriber unit from your computer.
ping
192.168.101.2

Subscriber Unit IP Addresses
IP Address
Description
192.168.101.1
This is the rescue IP address. It is always available, and is
non-configurable.
192.168.101.2
This is the local IP address. This address is only available when your
computer is connected directly to the subscriber unit. the default address
is 192.168.101.2.
You can change this address using the CLI set command.
Refer to the
Outdoor Wireless Access Subscriber Modem User Manual for
detailed information on using the CLI.
Wireless Secondary
Management IP
When a subscriber unit is enabled for remote management
(managedSS=1), the IP address for the wireless secondary management
channel (SMC) can be assigned by:
• DHCP request through the sector controller (acting as a DHCP relay
agent).
• The operator assigning a static IP address using the smcIpAddress
command.
Refer to the Outdoor Wireless Access Subscriber
Modem User Manual for detailed information on using the CLI.
There is no default value assigned for this IP address.
