4.2 How to Use with Default Setup
We ship the router ready for use with a RedPort-certified compression email and/or web
browsing account; Voice and SMS are 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. If you are in a multi-user environment and want to
control access to the Internet, we recommend enabling the Captive Portal for crew Internet
access (see Section 5.1). For savings on Voice calls consider RedPort VoIP service (see
Section 5.8). You may realize further savings by enabling shared web compression (see
Section 5.2).
4.2.1 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-153-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.
