VI. Setup – Step 3: Connect the Uplink Device(s)
Once all your computers have joined
the network, and you can access the
SBS User Interface, you can connect
the uplink devices. The following
general steps apply to any device you
plan to use:
Tip
:
Before connecting with an
uplink for the first time,
you may wish to check
that the uplink is set-up
correctly as explained in
Section X below.
1.
If the uplink is a satellite or GSM phone, check that you can
make a phone call on the device.
2.
If the device is a router
(Fleet Broadband, 3G, VSAT and Wi-
Fi/WiMAX)
, check that it is connected to the Internet. Note that
to access the router when it is plugged into a WAN port on the
SBS, you should click “CONNECT” on the SBS first, so that
the SBS activates that WAN port.
3.
Check that the device is “data-enabled”. For example, the
satellite account should be activated for the appropriate data
services; the cellular account should allow data calls, and/or
have 3G/GPRS enabled.
4.
Connect the device to the SBS.
5.
Select the relevant uplink service from the “Uplink” options
(drop-down menu) on the CONNECT page of the SBS User
Interface. The SBS comes with some uplink settings that have
been preloaded at the time of ordering. To edit or to add an
uplink refer to Section X below.
6.
Select “NONE” from the “Downlink” options (drop-down menu)
on the CONNECT page (to connect with the uplink only as the
downlink hasn’t been configured yet).
Once the connection is
established, the status diagram
will show a two-way connection to
the internet. Once you have a
working uplink, disconnect by
clicking once on the
“DISCONNECT” button on the
right of the Service Status
Diagram.
