Help With Networking SBS-1E

[radiowaves]

My Setup
SBS-1E using win7, xport ver 1.6.0.2, was using a USB lead, but now trying to connect using a Virgin Super Hub so I can move the box closer to the aerial and be able to use it on the network.

My Problem
IP Address Range
Local IP Address 192.168.0.   EM IP Address 192.168.1.170              

I have been following Anmer sbs1_networking Guide to try and change the ip address in my sbs
All seems to be ok till I reach the point in the guide were it asks to Select Settings under Channel 1 on the left-hand menu and check the Local Port reads 10001.
When I input 10001 and press ok I get a message pop up saying (Remote Port: contains invalid characters. Valid Characters are 0-9.)  I have tryed entering a random number say 0 then I get another window pop up saying Inactivity Timeout(min): contains invalid characters. Valid characters are 0-9. I have tried entering 60 & 0 in the box.
Which it accepts but then another window pops up saying Remote Host: Undefined: Undefined: Undefined is not a valid IP address.

I have no idea what that means so thought best to try to get some help.

Hi Anmer
Sorry got totally confused as to which forum you were referring to in your PM earlier.

What stage have you got to?  Are you on Page 7 of the Guide?

Please note is says:

"Select Connection under Channel 1 on the left-hand menu and check the Local Port reads 10001"

[radiowaves]

Yep followed the The Guide from page 7.
I have attached some screen shoots of the setting I have used hope this helps.

The problem seems to be the Local Port under Channel 1 tab is empty as I understand it that should show the port number without me manually entering it hope that makes sense.
Thanks
Dave

I'm not sure why you are making changes to your router's port forwarding if all you're trying to do is make the SBS-1e compatible with your local network IP address range?

You have two options.

1. Set your UP address range to 192.168.1.nnn

or

2. Change the SBS-1e IP address from 192.168.1.170 to 192.168.0.170

Port forwarding isn't involved.

Option 1 can be easier than Option 2.  The Guide explains how to implement Option 2.

Hi

Update on my problem

I found that one of my main problems was using Google Chrome as soon as I tried programming xport with Firefox it all went to plan and I could changed the IP address as per the guide.

I can now ping the SBS new IP Address 192.168.0.170 and it also shows connected in the device connection status of my router.

But after doing all that when I start the Basestation program I get no orange connected light and the  not connected to SBS message at the bottom of the screen.

Any help would be very appreciated I have run out of ideas as to why it not connecting.

Thanks

What network address do you have in Basestation Settings?

[radiowaves]

Basestation Network Address: 192.168.0.170
                    Port: 10001

Thanks.

And you can Ping 192.168.0.170 and get a return?

And the SBS is connected via Ethernet and you have chosen Network as the connection?

Hi Anmer

Thanks for the quick response  (Yes to all of your questions )

I have even connected it up to another PC today but still get the same problem of not been able to connect to the Basestation

Thanks

SBS now working with the help of Chris Taylor from Taylor Made RF Ltd.
The SBS just needed resetting back to default, after which I reset the IP back to 192.168.0.170  and it connect to the Basestation software straight away
Thanks

Thanks for the update.

I too could have resolved the issue if you'd replied to my posts.

Since I do have a similar (or better: the same) problem currently: How exactly did you reset the SBS?

Can you describe your problem and how it has occurred?

[Cherryx]

Sorry for the late reply, had lots of work and simply forgot about this thread :-/

Okay, what happened:
I was changing my whole network configuration, so I had to change the IP of my SBS1 (er) as well.

Accessing the Lantronix webinterface I saw lots of "undefined" and "NaN" entries, but I changed the settings anyway.
Afterwards I was not able to access the box via Basestation or MMS2 client, the webinterface worked, but still with NaN / Undefined entries.

So what I did was upgrading the Lantronix firmware. Now the webinterface is showing all correct entries, but still no luck with connecting Basestation / MMS2.

This only happens while connecting via ethernet, USB works just fine.
So I guess it's something between the Lantronix interface and the SBS hardware.

I did not try shortly before I changed my network config, so I cannot be sure if it worked then (didn't use the box for a month or so).
I disconnected and reconnected the box from power several times, this does not solve it.

Any ideas?

Oliver.
