When the root-cause (external or internal) of the issue in the 
router is not known, perform the following steps:
1. Power down and restart the router to see if that resolves the 

issue.

2. When the problem still exists, disconnect the external cabling 

apart from the power and console cables. 

3. Connect to the console port and during the boot process, 

check if the PCB passes the POST boot-up tests. 

4. Check if the router gets to the login prompt. 
5. Check if all the option files are in the correct location under 

/sysopt/config/sat_router

NOTE: 

Option files varies in each revision of the software. 

6. Check the status LEDs. Compare LEDs to 

Table 3-1 on page 12

SAT router cannot be accessed 
by Web User Interface 

Router may have a bad options file, settings, or software 
package.
1. Power down and restart the router to see if that resolves the 

issue.

2. Perform a Level 2 reset (Boot into Recovery mode) and 

manually load the correct options file and a software package 

that is appropriate; and the user interface will be accessed 

with the default IP address: 192.168.0.1.

See 

Appendix E,

more information on Reset.

Lost or forgot IP address of the 
SAT router

1. Visually check the Ethernet port to ensure there is no physical 

damage.

2. Perform a Level 2 reset (Boot into Recovery mode) so that the 

iQ LTE will have the default IP address: 192.168.0.1. Load new 

package / options / configuration files with a new IP address, 

if desired.

3. Reboot with a Level 0 reset, and connect with the current / 

known IP address.
