Setting up Wideye Sabre 1 with BGAN LaunchPad Page 8
3.4 Connecting the terminal to your computer
Connecting over Ethernet
Note For the Ethernet interface to work without any further setup, your computer must be
configured to obtain an IP address and a DNS server address automatically. To check that
these settings are configured on your computer, refer to the documentation for your
operating system.
Note For details on how to configure DNS Server addresses for the terminal, refer to Ethernet on
page 20.
To connect the BGAN terminal to your computer using Ethernet:
a. Insert one connector on the supplied Ethernet cable into the terminal’s Ethernet port.
b. Insert the other connector into your computer’s Ethernet port. A message confirming
connection is displayed on your computer.
Tip Some corporate computers are configured with a static IP address. If your computer has a
static IP address, you must go into your operating system’s IP Properties option and
change your computers settings to obtain an IP address automatically before your computer
can communicate with the terminal.
IP addressing on the Wideye Sabre 1
• In normal operation, the terminal uses its built-in DHCP server to allocate IP
addresses automatically. If you want to manually set up IP addressing, you can
use the terminal’s default range of IP addresses, as shown below:
Terminal IP address 192.168.1.35
Default range of IP addresses 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.50
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DNS
If you use BGAN.INMARSAT.COM as your
APN, the default DNS addresses are
172.30.66.7 and 172.30.34.7
If you use another APN, your Distribution
Partner supplies you with a DNS address
for your APN.
Refer to the Solutions Guide document “BGAN and IP data connections” for further
details.
