CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET

 

 
The T-100 is pre-configured, so connecting to the Internet is as easy as connecting to a wireless access point.  The 
default  SSID  for  the  wireless  access  point  is 

Tou

ghsat <serial number>”.

  You  can  also  connect  to  the  system 

using an Ethernet cable connected to the back of the controller in one of the 4 LAN ports. The default configuration 
uses DHCP to manage the IP addresses, so be sure your computer is set for DHCP. 
 
Below are the Toughsat TS2 display and the iDirect Evolution X5 Satellite Router.  
 

 

 
The TS2 will show  the current status of the system.  When the iDirect X5  Router LED   lights turn green (only the 
Status light should be dark), you are online. If the power light on the X5 is solid green and the 

TX

 light is blinking 

green, the system is still acquiring the satellite.  
 

ACCESSING THE WIRELESS ROUTER 

 
You can reconfigure the wireless settings, add encryption or security, or even disable the wireless completely from 
the router interface at 

http://192.168.1.1

 

Leave the username blank and the password is “

admin

”. Do not change 

the static IP settings inside the router unless instructed by Ground Control. 
 
 

ACCESSING THE TOUGHSAT WEB INTERFACE 

 
You can view the Toughsat web interface, type in  

http://192.168.1.2

 on a connected browser. 

 

 

 
There are no logins or  passwords for this page, and  it contains a large  amount of information  about  your system. 
Some menus will even allow you to change configuration settings for your dish. Leave these alone unless instructed 
or  you  know  what  you  are  doing.  Many  of  these  settings  will  prevent  your  dish  from  working  correctly  if  changed. 
Contact Ground Control Technical Support if you have questions about the items on these pages.
