Configuring Boot Parameters
Use Configure Boot Parameters to configure the Gateway for outroute reception and downloading of software. For initial installation, most parameters must be entered, except for VSAT Return Path, which is always “Inroute.”
Thus, you will need your installer ID, and you will need all necessary information to enter data for the fields marked with an asterisk in Figure 80. One asterisk means the installer must provide or obtain the information; two asterisks means the information is global for all installations.
