1.1 INTRODUCTION
This quick start guide will allow a user to configure a pair of CiM-550 or CiM-300L
(referred to CiM in rest of the document) from beginning (i.e. starting from factory
default settings) and be able to pass traffic within minutes. It is assumed that the user is
familiar with the configuration of the base satellite modem.

character indicated at the right. Enter x to return to the previous menu.
1.7.2 RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
The following sections in this guide assume that the CiM is still in factory default
configuration for IP. If that’s not the case, the factory default configuration can be
restored from the menu:
Step Description
From the Main Menu, select Administration sub-menu.
1
From the Administration menu, select Operations and Maintenance sub-menu.
2
From the Operations and Maintenance menu, select Database Operations sub-menu
3
From the Database Operations menu, select Restore Factory Default option
4
Confirm when prompted.
5
This will erase any user configuration and restore the CiM to factory default
configuration.
CiM has 2 data interfaces - a LAN interface and a WAN interface. The LAN interface is
a 10/100baseT Ethernet port (fei0). The WAN interface is the serial synchronous HDLC
interface (hdl0). The Ethernet MAC address is factory assigned and cannot be changed.
1.7.3.1 SETTING IP ADDRESS(ES)
Step Description
From the Main Menu select Interface Configuration sub-menu.

Set IP Address to 10.1.1.1
6
Set Subnet Prefix Length to 24
7
Set RX – Enable/Disable and TX – Enable/Disable to Enable.
8
From Receive HDLC Channel Address menu set HDLC Addr 1 to 1 (0x0001)
9
The other parameters can be left to their factory default settings.
At this point you should be able to ping CiM 1 from PC 1:

5
Enter the next hop IP address which is CiM 2’s HDLC IP Address, 10.1.1.2
CiM supports optional DES 56 encryption and decryption for additional security over the
satellite link. Each CiM supports 2 user configurable keys for encryption and 2 user
configurable keys for decryption. Each route can be assigned to be encrypted by Key 1 or
Key 2 or Random (i.e. CiM selects Key 1 or Key 2 randomly on a per IP datagram basis)
or transmitted in Clear (i.e. no encryption).
