MDX420 SkyWire™ Satellite Network Gateway SkyWire Controller (GUI)
MN-MDX420 Revision 6 7–4
7.3 Connect and Login
In order to activate the SkyWire Controller, the MDX420 must be turned ON and connected to the
computer via the 10/100 Ethernet Control port.
Set up the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties of the computer LAN port to be on the same
subnet as the Control port on the MDX420. In Windows, this is done through the Network
Connections category. The factory default subnet is 192.168.0.x, where x is an address between
1 and 255 except for 236. If the IP address of the MDX420 has been changed from the factory
default address, the subnet may be different. Consult your Network Administrator for the proper
subnet setting for the computer.
Connect an Ethernet RJ45 cable between the computer and Control Port J1 or J2 of the
MDX420. The gateway’s IP address is automatically detected by the SkyWire Controller.
On the Login screen (Figure 7.3) click the button to the right of the Destination name to configure
the SkyWire Controller interface parameters.

NOTE: The IP Address and SNMP Version parameters in the Destination Configuration screen
must match the parameters set by the Service port
