Advanced Network Settings
IMPORTANT! The default network settings work well for most installations. Do not change them unless absolutely necessary.
In addition to built-in Wi-Fi settings, you can change other network settings at the web interface of the LTE system's router: For details on accessing the router's web interface, see Accessing the Router Web Interface.
Changing the Built-in Router's IP Address
By default, the LTE system's built-in router has an IP address of 192.168.55.1. If this configuration conflicts with an existing onboard network (e.g., another router on the vessel is using the same address), you can change the IP address of either your vessel's router or the LTE system's router.
- At the router's web interface, go to the Network page.
- Under LAN, select the Untagged LAN.
- Under "IP Settings," enter the desired IP address for the LTE network in the IP Address text box.
- When you are done making changes, select Save. Then select Apply Changes in the upper right-hand corner.
Disabling DHCP to Manually Set IPs
By default, the LTE system's built-in router assigns IP addresses to connected devices automatically. If you prefer to manually assign static IP addresses to your devices, you can turn off the LTE system's DHCP server.
- At the router's web interface, go to the Network page.
- Under LAN, select the Untagged LAN.
- Under "DHCP Server," clear (uncheck) the Enable check box.
- When you are done making changes, select Save. Then select Apply Changes in the upper right-hand corner.
Once you make this change, you will need to enter a valid IP address in the network settings of each device you want to use with the LTE system. For example, if the LTE system's router is set to the default IP address of 192.168.55.1 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, you must set each device to any unique IP address ranging from 192.168.55.2 to 192.168.55.254.
Note: Only one router can be the DHCP server on a single network.
