Tempest Base Station LAN Settings:

• Ensure wireless connectivity is off on laptop if using a laptop!!

• Verify that your Firewall is off, or set your hardware and/or software firewalls to pass ports 50500 and 50501 UDP, and 50502 TCP

• Menu > #1 Base Station Settings (ent) > #7 Tech Menu (ent) > "TECH MENU WARNING" (ent)

• Tech Menu > #7 Lan Settings (ent) > #5 TCP/IP Mode (ent)

• Select #2 Manual (ent)

• Any change to the #5 "TCP/IP Mode" requires the BaseStation to be powered off and back on for changes to be implemented.

• Once the Basestation is turned back on and POSTed:

• Hit Menu > #1 Base Station Settings (ent) > #7 Tech Menu (ent) > "TECH MENU WARNING" (ent)

• Tech Menu > #7 Lan Settings (ent)

• Enter into #1 TCP/IP and Set your IP Address. Use the Enter button to toggle between octets and use the scroll knob to select to proper numbers.

• Hit Menu to exit back to the previous menu for Lan Settings. 

• Enter into #2 Subnet Mask and Set your Subnet Mask. Use the Enter button to toggle between octets and use the scroll knob to select to proper numbers.

• Hit Menu to exit back to the previous menu for Lan Settings. 

• Enter into #3 Default Gateway and Set your Default Gateway (if necessary). Use the Enter button to toggle between octets and use the scroll knob to select to proper numbers.

• An example of your configuration should look something like this:

• Once you have entered all of your network information, use the menu key to back out of the set up menus, or wait for it to time out.

• In the general display where you would see the belt pack slots, the top title bar should indicate that you are in LAN mode.

• Connect your network cable between the Tempest Base Station and your computer nic port. Newer computers that have Auto-MDIX capability can use either standard CAT-5 cable or a crossover cable. Auto-MDIX detects the connected cable type and configures the computer connection appropriately. Otherwise a crossover cable is required between the BaseStation and the computer nic port.

• Once connected, launch the T-Desk software. It should take a few moments for the software to detect the base station.
