How to Use with Default Setup
We ship the router ready for use with Voice and SMS ready to be enabled for use with
compatible satellite devices using standard satellite airtime.
This out-of-the-box configuration works well for single broadband users. This
configuration is also suitable for the multi-user environment where each person has a
separate primary email and/or web browsing account.
While you have the benefit of email and web compression on each primary account, all
users have unlimited access to the Internet.
BEST PRACTICE: If you are in a multi-user environment, we recommend enabling
Transparent proxy. With Transparent Proxy enabled, all traffic on port 80 (http port) is
redirected through the internal proxy server. This allows URL and DNS filtering (whitelist
and blacklist sites), some content filtering (i.e. remove flash video) and you can turn on
http logging to see what URLs are being accessed by the users. You also have the option
to communicate upstream to a compression proxy server. For savings on Voice calls
consider RedPort VoIP service. You may realize further savings by enabling shared web
compression.

Email and Web Browsing
This default setup allows anyone with a RedPort-certified email account (such as XGate)
or web account (such as XWeb), with a Primary Account username and password, to
use the router, as is, to send and receive email and to browse the Internet.
Here are the basic instructions:
1.
Power the Optimizer ON.
2.
Turn your satellite phone ON.
3.
Connect the Optimizer to your satphone with the appropriate cable.
4.
On your computer, iOS or Android device, connect to the wireless network created by
the Optimizer. The name of the wireless network will be something like: wXa-223-xxxx,
where xxxx may represent the last four digits of the Mac address of the Optimizer.
5.
Once connected to the wireless network, open the RedPort-certified email program
(such as XGate) and go to Settings > Connection > and set the Connection Type to
“Optimizer xxxxxx” where xxxxxx represents your satphone connection. Click [OK].
6.
Wait for a strong satphone signal.
7.
Start an email or a web browsing session.
