Help With Networking SBS-1E

[Anmer]

I think you need to reset the Lantronix interface back to the default SBS IP address of 192.168.1.170.

I can email you a utility but you may subsequently have to change the IP address if the default ins't compatible with your local network.

Hi Anmer,

thanks, but did not help.
I changed the IP of the SBS back to 192.168.1.170 / 255.255.255.0
Does your utility do anything else? (if so, it should be no problem, network is 192.168.1.0/24)

What I found with the MMS2 client: While Basestation is running, it cannot connect:

Code Select Expand

14:41:35 | [reader][i][0]Connecting to SBS1 receiver on 192.168.1.170:10001
14:41:36 | [reader][e][0]Could not connect to 192.168.1.170
and after closing BS:

Code Select Expand

14:41:41 | [reader][i][0]Connecting to SBS1 receiver on 192.168.1.170:10001
14:41:41 | [reader][i][0]Connected to the receiver, authenticating
that's where it's stuck (except for the session ratio messages).

Anything else? Could it be some settings in the serial section?

I've emailed you the utility (Zip).  It is a large file so let me know if it doesn't arrive.

The email has full instructions.

[Cherryx]

It got back to you.

How large is it?

I will send you an alternate address via PM.

[Cherryx]

Not sure what the utility did (changed some other values besides Network), but it works!

Thank you so much for your help

[Anmer]

The utility sets the Lantronix device back to the Kinetic default settings.

From memory you can either use a USB cable or a DC power supply.

Make sure the slider switches are set to Use Ethernet and Use USB power.

By connecting the SBS to your local network you can run BaseStation on any Windows device that can connect to the network.  The SBS can be far away from the PC.

[Anmer]

No, you won't see more aircraft.  But it does give you the option to place the SBS and antenna in a (potentially) more favourable location, such as a loft.  Then connect via Ethernet to a network access point which could be WiFi enabled.
