Hub System Setup
Accessing The Hub
Default IP Address
The hub has a default IP address of: 192.168.0.100. To inially communicate with the hub, connect an Ethernet
cable directly from the hub to a laptop or desktop PC. A crossover cable may be required, however most
modern computers have auto-sensing Ethernet ports that make this unnecessary. The hub may also be plugged
directly into an Ethernet switch that your computer is
also connected to. Note that if your network is using
192.168.0.X IP addressing, there may be a device on your
network already using the hub’s default IP, so the hub may
need to be congured o the network rst, prior to being
connected. As usual with IP based devices, you will need
to set your computer to a similar IP address as the hub
(such as 192.168.0.99, or 192.168.0.115), before you will
be able to inially communicate with it. While the hub
can be used in DHCP mode, we strongly suggest manually
conguring a stac IP address.
Conguring the Hub
Changing The Hub IP Address
Once the antennas are connected, and the network cable
is in place, connect the power cord and if the power light
does not illuminate immediately, push the large silver
power buon on the front face of the hub to turn it on. It
will generally require somewhere between 40 seconds to 1
minute before it will be accessible on the network.
Use a web browser (we recommend “Firefox” or
“Chrome”) to inially log into the hub on the default IP of
hp://192.168.0.100. If the IP sengs on your computer are
correct, and the hub is powered on and running, you should see
the hub’s login screen come up almost immediately.
The login is “kevin” and the password is “kevin”...
On the rst screen you will see the current IP address displayed.
Click on the IP address, subnet, and gateway boxes, and change
them to the desired values. When the IP informaon has been
correctly entered and double checked, click the “save” buon,
and click through any prompts that follow.
If the receiver X needs to reboot, follow the prompts to allow it to do so.
Aer approximately (1) minute, the hub should then be accessible on the
newly assigned IP address.
