D.2.1 PC Configuration

Step Description
1 Set the IP address on PC 1 to 172.16.10.11, mask to 255.255.255.0.
2 Set the IP address on PC 2 to 172.16.10.12, mask to 255.255.255.0.
3 Reboot the PCs (if require d).

D.2.2 CDM-IP Configuration

The CDM-IP will also be in Point-to Point HDLC Addressing Mode. HDLC addresses
are used to identify remote satellite interfaces when there are more than two CDM-IP
modems sending and receiving traffic. In Point-to-Point Mode, there is no need to define
any HDLC addresses since all of the traffic will be to and from a single remote CDM-IP.
The HDLC MAC address is user configurable.
