ETHERNET CONNECTIVITY
The front panel User Interface connector on the
booster provides for 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet con-
nection using the TCP-IP protocol. This product
feature allows access to a web-based interface for
programming the individual modules within the
booster. The web based interface requires a JAVA
runtime environment (version 1.6.0 or later) to be
installed on your laptop. The JAVA software can be
downloaded free of charge from the Sun Microsys-
tems website found at “http://java.com/en/down-
load/index.jsp”. The channelized booster is
shipped from the factory with a default IP address
of “192.168.1.1”.

Two connection schemes are discussed including a
direct connection from your laptop computer to the
booster front panel as well as connecting the
booster to a networked environment. A direct con-
nection (at the installation site) should be estab-
lished the first time you interface to the booster
using the fixed IP mentioned above. Once the initial
communications are established the IP address in
the booster can be changed to permit a networked
connection (from a remote site such as your office).

Direct Connection
Your initial connection to the booster system should
be a direct connection to the front panel using an
Ethernet crossover cable. Figure A1 shows the
proper way to interconnect the equipment as well
as the pinout for a CAT-5 crossover cable.

PROCEDURE
To connect your laptop computer to the front panel
LAN port and access the web page interface, per-
form the following steps;
LAN port and access the web page interface, per-
form the following steps;
1) Insure the JAVA runtime environment software is
installed on your laptop.
2) Connect your laptop network port to the LAN
connector on the booster front panel using a
standard CAT-5 Crossover cable.

3) The left-most (LINK) status LED built-in to the
LAN port connector should illuminate amber or
green indicating that a good physical connec-
tion is established between your computer and
the booster.

tion is established between your computer and
the booster.
4) Insure that your laptop’s IP address is compati-
ble with the default address of the signal
booster system. This may require changes be
made to the Ethernet adaptor address on your
laptop (refer to Appendix B). Your laptop’s IP
address will need to be set to “192.168.1.2”
along with a subnet mask of “255.255.255.0”.
The right-most (ACTIVITY) status LED built-in
to the LAN port connector will turn amber or
green indicating good TCP-IP communications
are established between the laptop and the
booster.
