To test the IP connection to the gateway open an MS-DOS window on the PC connected to the STM
SatLink Terminal LAN (Ethernet).
Type the MS-DOS command ‘ping 10.10.10.1’ to test the connection to the gateway router
5
.
If the router gives a positive reply to the ping message then the DVB-RCS satellite link is
successfully up and running.

To test the connection to the Internet, type the MS-DOS command ‘ping www.stmnetworks.com’. If
a reply is received the PC connected to the STM SatLink Terminal has a working connection to the
Internet via the DVB-RCS satellite network.
6.5
Prepare the STM SatLink Terminal for normal operation
The connection to the Internet over the DVB-RCS satellite network should now be tested and found
working. The only thing left is then the final configuration to prepare the STM SatLink Terminal for
normal operation.
The STM SatLink Terminal must be started and you must be logged in as a user with minimum privilege
level 2 (e.g.
install
user) before completing the following operations.
1.
Configure the STM SatLink Terminal to automatically start the receiver by typing the CLI command
dvb rx autostart on
.
Setting the Rx autostart on will ensure that the receiver is started automatically after e.g. power
failure, link failure, gateway restart, or a software failure, etc. without needing user intervention.
Verify that auto start is on for the receiver by typing the CLI command
dvb rx show
.
2.
Configure the STM SatLink Terminal to automatically start the transmitter by typing the CLI
command
dvb tx autostart on
.
Setting the Tx autostart on will ensure that the transmitter is started automatically after e.g. power
failure, link failure, gateway restart, or a software failure, etc. without needing user intervention.
Or alternatively follow the procedure in section 10 if the terminal shall use traffic-initiated logon.
Verify that auto start is on for the transmitter by typing the CLI command
dvb tx show
.
3.
Save the configuration by typing the CLI command
save config
.

Replace the IP address 10.10.10.1 with the actual IP address of the DVB-RCS gateway router if the
default IP configuration of the DVB-RCS gateway is not used.
