3. SOFTWARE OPERATION

3.1 Controlling The SR2000 With The Status & Control Software

As was previously mentioned, all parameters of the SR2000 SuperFlex satellite receiver are controlled bythe Status & Control software included with the receiver. This Status & Control software package shouldbe installed on the following platform:

• Pentium 75 MHz (or greater) computer with 24 Mb RAM (Windows 95) / 32 Mb RAM (WindowsNT)

• Installed LAN Card (3 Com or equivalent)

• The Status & Control software is a Java™ based application that can run on computers equipped witha Java virtual machine and IP network software. This allows the software to be installed onWindows® ‘95, Windows® NT, Linux, Unix or MAC based systems.

• For Windows ‘95 or Windows NT machines, MicroSoft™ Internet Explorer 4.0 may be installed onthe platform to allow the required Java™ functionality.

3.2 Establishing Connectivity

3.2.1 Communication With An Ethernet Crossover Cable

Typically an Ethernet crossover cable is used in the field when the receiver is being aligned to the satellitesignal and a point to point connection is required between the receiver and the Status & Control computer. To communicate between the SR2000 receiver and the customer computer running the Status & Controlsoftware, it is necessary that the IP address of the customer’s computer be set to the same subnet as theSR2000 receiver. The factory default IP address of the receiver is 192.168.0.1. Please refer to theInstallation and Start Up Procedure.

3.2.2 Communications Using A HUB/LAN Connection

When the Status & Control computer and the SR2000 receiver are connected together via a hub in a LANconfiguration, the same rule as above, applies.

3.2.3 Communications Using An Internet

If the Status & Control computer and the SR2000 are on different LAN’s connected by an Internet,communications between the two can only be made if the SR2000 receiver IP address is known. Typicallythe SR2000 receiver is set up on its LAN using the same steps as in the section entitled CommunicationsUsing A HUB/LAN Connection.

Once the receiver is set up with an IP address and a Gateway corresponding to the customer’s LAN, acomputer running Status & Control software may talk to it from another LAN via an Internet.

For example, the receiver IP address set on a LAN is 201.234.23.2. On the computer running Status &Control software on another LAN communicating to the receiver via Internet, simply refer to the sectionInitially Adding Receivers, add the name, serial number, Ethernet address as labeled on the receiver andselect Known IP address. Type in 201.234.23.2 and press the Resolve IP button. If all connections andcommunications are correct, the IP will be resolved and communications with the receiver can commence.
