SKYPILOT NETWORKS CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

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 CPE (SC1050) units.

4.1 CPE Configuration

A CPE must be configured for the following:

1. IP Address Mode – DHCP or Manual

2. Management IP Address and Mask (if manually configure)

3. Ethernet Port Control

4. QoS Data Rates

4.1.1 IP Address Management

The CPE management interface (SNMP, Telnet) requires the allocation of an IP address.

It 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.

4.1.2 Ethernet Port Control

The CPE allows for the disabling (and enabling) of the 10500bT Ethernet port. Default is

disabled. The enable/disable Ethernet port facility can also be used to control subscriber

access.

4.1.3 Subscriber Data Rates

The CPE allows for configuration of maximum downstream and upstream data rates. The

values relate to traffic sent and received over the Ethernet port.
