Satellite Terminal Feature
4 Introduction Overview This document addresses the configuration and set up for Broadband Satellite Service. The icon Satellite Terminal is capable of providing satellite broadband Internet connection, as well as intranet communication. The sleek and stylish Satellite Terminal represents the next generation of IPSTAR Satellite terminal equipment, providing high performance 2-way Internet connectivity and a wide array of content delivery as well as other multicast and interactive applications using advanced IPSTAR Satellite Technology. The icon is designed to interface with the IPSTAR Gateway and the IPSTAR forward and return satellite link to an Ethernet Network. The IPSTAR platform incorporates new Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) technology, which automatically adjusts modulation, coding, and gain to compensate for bad weather conditions, such as rain and snow in order to maintain maximum availability. The icon will perform its maximum efficiency over the IPSTAR Satellite; however, it is equally compatible with other conventional C- or Ku-Band satellites using the IPSTAR Gateway.. Features Flexible Data Routing to the 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN Incoming data and streams are easily routed to a network or server. Full administration of incoming streams provides easy customization for a variety of LAN environments. Remote Management All satellite parameters tuning and data handling can be controlled and managed remotely via LAN or over the satellite. Options include menu-driven command line interface and web-based monitoring (by using http). Automatic Startup and Recovery Solid-state memory, a protected files system, and stored configuration information ensures configuration integrity during initial boot and reboot sequences due to power failure or network problems. Once booted, the Satellite Terminal automatically tunes, and begins forwarding data according to its stored routing configuration. Reliability and Compatibility The monitoring capabilities of the Satellite Terminal offer maximum data integrity and were tested with a variety of network configurations to ensure compatibility across networks.

You will see the following message: Unable to connect to the consumer box web server Troubleshoot procedure: 1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected to the icon and PC If you did change network settings of IP Address of the icon, reconnect it again using new IP address. Type http://new_ipaddress:8080/xwebgateway.cgi
9 Troubleshooting Problems with Satellite Terminal Problem Causes Solutions Sync to Sat LED is not on. Satellite Terminal is not properly synchronized with the IPSTAR Network. 1. Check that Receive Cable connected to the back panel of the Satellite Terminal is properly connected. 2. Check if Receive Frequency of your Satellite Terminal is correct. 3. Try to restart the Satellite Terminal. 4. If the Sync to Sat is still not on, you should contact your system provider. Problem Causes Solutions Cannot login to the system 1. Login packet that Satellite Terminal has sent might contain errors when Gateway receives and decodes it. 2. Data blocks that Gateway has sent in response to login might contain errors. 1. Check the weather condition (Heavy clouds, Rain, etc). 2. If you still cannot login, you should contact your system provider. Problem Causes Solutions Client PC cannot make a connection to the Satellite Terminal 1. IP Address and Netmask of either the Satellite Terminal or the Client PC might be incorrect. 2. LAN Cable might be defective. 1. Check the LAN Cable (connection, cable head, etc) 2. Check the IP Address and Netmask of Satellite Terminal and Client PC. Problem Causes Solutions Client PC cannot make an Internet connection. 1. Internet site that the Client PC is attempting to connect might not be functioning. 2. Satellite Terminal itself might not be logged in. 3. Connection to the Gateway might be affected by weather. 1. Check that the connection to the Gateway is established (still logged in?) 2. Try and check the connection to the Gateway by typing the command ping 192.168.1.1 at the command prompt. 3. If the result of the ping is successful but still cannot access the Internet, check the Internet site you are trying to connect that it is up and running (try connection from another PC) 4. If the web site is not defective, type the command tracert <website name> at the command prompt and see where the connection is not getting through and contact your system provider.
