4 Configuration
The SkyPilot system requires minimal configuration before service can be offered. There
is the option to utilize the SkyPilot Provisioning Server or to manual configure. The
Provisioning Server, with its interface to an SQL database facilities the configuration of
large scale networks. The Provisioning Server is the topic of a separate document. This
document shall focus on the manual configuration of GW1050 and SD1050 units.
4.1 GW1050 Configuration
The Gateway must be configured for the following:
1. Frequency
2. IP Address Mode – DHCP or Manual
3. Management IP Address and Mask (if manually configure)
4. Ethernet Port Control
4.1.1 Frequency
The Gateway supports operation in the public safety band of 4.94 to 4.99 GHz. With its
directional antenna and large link budget, the SkyPilot system is very effective in
avoiding interference. However, if there are situations where significant interference is
present within the public safety band band. SkyPilot recommends that an operator utilize
a spectrum analyzer to scan the frequency spectrum prior to installing one or more
GW1050. If a high level of interference is observed, then a subset of the available
channels should be selected.
4.1.2 IP Address Management
The Gateway management interface (SNMP, Telnet) requires the allocation of an IP
address. A Gateway can be configured to use either DHCP for dynamic IP address
allocation or can be statically configured via the CLI.
DHCP is the default. For static allocation the IP Address, Netmask and IP Default
Gateway must be input via the CLI. See Section 5 for details.
