in the properties of the adapter providing Internet access.
When Internet sharing is enabled, the receiver gets its IP address from a DHCP server on
your computer. Depending on your computer’s routing table, it may be that it is not reach-
able anymore at
192.168.3.1
.
1.1.3.4
Point-to-Point Link
The receiver incorporates a point-to-point protocol server, by which it can accept TCP/IP con-
nections over a serial link.
Configuring the point-to-point server is done with the
command. For
example, to set up a point-to-point communication over COM1, with the server (i.e. the re-
ceiver) having address 192.168.60.1 and the client having address 192.168.60.2, and using
CHAP authentication with password “mypwd”, use this command:
setPointToPoint, P2PP1, Server, COM1, 192.168.60.2, 192.168.60.1,
If the client is a Linux computer, make sure the password is set in the
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
file. For example, the contents of that file could be as
follows:
Assuming that the serial cable is connected to the first serial port of your PC, and that the
receiver’s COM1 port is left in its default configuration (115200 baud and no hardware flow
control), the client PPP daemon can be started with the following Linux command:
pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 nocrtscts local
After a few seconds, the PPP link is established and it is possible to access the receiver at IP
address 192.168.60.1.
1.1.4
Via a Web Browser
The receiver can be controlled and configured using a web browser. The hostname or fixed
IP address is defined as explained in section 1.1.3.
For example, if your receiver’s hostname is
polarx5tr-1234567
, simply use the following
URL in your preferred web browser:
http://polarx5tr-1234567
or, for a secure connection:
https://polarx5tr-1234567
The
https
certificate (
.pem
file) can be uploaded through the
Communication > Web
Server/TLS
menu of the web interface.
