Standard Configuration

In a standard configuration, Ethernet ports 1 through 4 and the built-in WAP provide high-speed Internet access, with no user logins or controls. Internet access is unrestricted. This is the default configuration.

To set up the network in a standard configuration, follow these steps:

  1. To enable the ICM’s built-in wireless access point (WAP) for Wi-Fi access, follow the steps in Wireless Settings.

  2. Connect your computers and/or other network devices to the ICM. You might wish to add an external WAP (or Wi-Fi router configured for bridge mode) to supplement Wi-Fi access. Use straight-through 100 Mbps fast Ethernet UTP CAT5 cables (or better) with RJ45 connectors.

  3. At the TracPhone V3-HTS web interface or mini-VSAT Manager, select the STANDARD_V3HTS network configuration. Refer to Selecting a Network Configuration for details.

  4. Make sure all computers are configured for DHCP addressing (see Configuring Computers for DHCP). Devices connected to the ICM (via Ethernet cables or Wi-Fi) will receive IP addresses from the ICM via DHCP. The ICM serves as a router.

NOTE: By default, the High-speed LAN has a gateway of 192.168.5.1 and assigns IP addresses in the 192.168.5.50-150 range. If this configuration conflicts with an existing onboard network, you may change the settings at the TracPhone V3-HTS web interface (go to Settings > Network Settings). See LAN Settings for details.
