1.1.3.1
Ethernet
Over the Ethernet interface, the receiver can be configured for dynamic or fixed IP address al-
location. The default is dynamic address allocation, using the DHCP protocol. The hostname
is
polarx5tr-
xxxxxxx
, where
xxxxxxx
consists of the last seven digits of the serial num-
ber of the receiver.
Dynamic IP address allocation requires the availability of a DHCP server in your local network.
In the absence of a DHCP server, or when a fixed IP address is desirable, it is possible to
disable the DHCP client and use a fixed address. This is done using the
command.

WiFi
1.1.3.2.1
Receiver as WiFi Access Point
By default, the receiver is configured in WiFi access point mode, with the SSID set to
"
PolaRx5TR-
xxxxxxx
" where
xxxxxxx
is the serial number. Encryption is disabled by
default.
When you are connected to the receiver WiFi access point, the receiver can be reached at
the fixed IP address
192.168.20.1
, or with the hostname
polarx5tr
(depending on your
network configuration, you may need to use
polarx5tr.local
instead).
WiFi can be turned on and off with the
command, and the access
point parameters (SSID, encryption, channel number, ...)
can be adjusted with the
command.
1.1.3.2.2
Receiver as WiFi Client
It is possible to configure the receiver in WiFi client mode with the
com-
mand. In client mode, the receiver will attempt to connect to a reachable access point.
The access point password must be entered with the command
(this must be done only once). The list of access points can be obtained with the
command.
In client mode, the receiver gets its IP address dynamically, and its hostname is
polarx5tr-
xxxxxxx
.
1.1.3.3
Ethernet-over-USB
When an USB cable is connected, the receiver supports Ethernet-over-USB. The IP address
allocated to the Ethernet-over-USB interface is
192.168.3.1
. That address cannot be
changed, so that this feature is only to be used when a single receiver is connected to your
computer.
By default, the receiver is not allowed to access the Internet over USB. This can be changed
with the
command. Note that this requires allowing Internet
sharing on your computer. The procedure to do so depends on your operating system. For
