MDX420 SkyWire™ Satellite Network Gateway TCP/IP Ethernet Setup
MN-MDX420 Revision 6 B–2
d. IP TEST: The IP Test selection is similar in behavior to the Default selection. When
enabled, the following preset parameters will be programmed and will not change until
the selection is changed. To edit these parameters, change the boot mode to NON-VOL.
 IP MASK 255.255.255.000
 GATEWAY IP ADDR 192.168.000.236
 SERVER IP ADDR 192.168.000.101
 ROUTER IP ADDR 192.168.000.102
IMPORTANT
Contact the IT department for guidance to make sure setup is successful.
The gateway is shipped from the factory with the Boot Mode configured as IP Test.
Verify that the Boot Mode is set for IP Test. To access the gateway via the Ethernet
port, set the selection to IP TEST. This sets the IP parameter to an accessible
address.
To use an alternate address, set the selection to NON-VOL.
For example purposes, a new gateway IP address of 172.018.100.205 is used for the
remaining of the TCP-IP setup procedure described here.
2. BOOT SERVER TAG: This allows for the selection of the operating boot tag when operating in
the BOOTp Mode. The default setting of 206 is automatically selected when the boot mode is set
to ‘DEFAULT’ (factory preset mode).
3. GATEWAY HOST: This displays the gateway Host name, this is a read only display.
4. IP ADDR MASK: This will allow for the entry of the IP Address Mask. This will need to be
entered based on the Network settings. Refer to your IP Administrator if you do not know this
address for the correct address setting. Example IP Address Mask setting: 255.255.000.000.
5. GATEWAY IP ADDR: This will allow for the entry of the Gateway‘s individual network IP
Address. Each device on the network will have a unique address. Refer to the IT administrator
for the correct address setting. Example Gateway IP Address setting: 172.018.100.215.
6. SERVER IP ADDR: This allows for the setup of the Network Server IP Address. This section
refers to the Host that will be used to optionally boot the gateway on power-up and is the SNMP
Trap Server. This IP Address needs to be consistent with the Gateway IP Address. Broadcast
and loop back addresses will not be allowed. Example Server IP Address setting:
172.018.004.250.
7. ROUTER IP ADDR: This allows for the setup of the Network Router IP Address. If a router is
present on the local network, and it is to be used, this address must be consistent with the IP
Address Mask and the subnet of the gateway. If no router is present, then the address should be
set to a foreign address. Broadcast and loop back addresses will not be allowed. Router not
used example: Router IP Address setting: 010.000.001.001.
8. GATEWAY EADDR: This displays the Gateway (Unit) Ethernet Address. The Gateway Ethernet
Address is configured at the factory. It is a unique Comtech equipment identifier Address.
Example: 0010650903EB
9. ETHER RATE: This displays the current Ethernet port data rate. If multiple rates are available,
then a selection can be made to specify the Ethernet port data rate (10BaseT). Example
Ethernet port Data Rate: 10 MBPS/HD
