1 Introduction
AI3 project has been trying to enhance availability of satellite receivers for AI3 C-
band UDL network in cooperation with SOI-Asia project. This article describes the
operation of UDBox, which is a new satellite receiver developed by UDCast.
3 UDBox Installation
Those steps are summarized as following.
1
1. Preparation: Connect a PC with a web browser to ”fxp0” network interface on
UDBox.
2. Step-by-Step Configuration: Access UDBox via web interface and start step-by-
step configuration.
3. Network Installation: Connect UDBox to the RO network.
4. Tuner Configuration: Configure RF settings to correctly the receive satellite link.
5. Status Check: Check the connectivity to the Internet AI3 C-band UDL.
3.1 Preparation
Before starting the step by step configuration, connect a PC with a web browser to
”fxp0” network interface on UDBox as shown in the figure 2. Then, give the IP ad-
dress ”172.31.3.2” to the PC and check the connectivity to ”172.31.3.1” which is UD-
Box’s IP address. Here, note that ”fxp0” is basically used only for this step-by-step
configuration, and not used for further operation.
!"
Accept the certificate, which is shown when the PC is successfully access UDBox’s
web interface. Then the top page of web interface is shown like the figure 3. Then
proceed to the step-by-step configuration by choosing ”Step-by-step configuration”.
UDBox requests to choose its wizard mode for the step-by-step configuration: stan-
dard or encrypted mode. Then choose standard like the figure 4.
The step-by-step configuration has 6 steps. The handling in each step is totally
same: enter some values and press ”Apply” button at the bottom of the window.

3.2.1 Configuration Step 1
Step 1 is for giving an IP address and its default route to UDBox as shown in the figure
5 and table 2.
Note that the IP address is for xl0 interface, which bridges packets from UDL and
captures packets from Receive Router to again send them to Receiver Router as those
packets are encapsulated in GRE header on the box.

3.2.3 Configuration Step 3, 4 and 5
Step 3, 4 and 5 are to be skipped. Each configuration item could be left vacant as shown
in the figure 7, 8 and 9. Then just proceed to the last step.

interface. Select ”Network” followed by ”Interfaces” at the configuration menu in the
left side of window like shown in the figure 14.
Then, select ptv0 from several interfaces appearing in the main windows like the
figure 15. This figure shows that the all radio frequency setting is done within this
window. As of July 27th, 2005, each parameter should be configured shown in the
table 4.
”Tuner Frequency” is the frequency which UDBox listens to receive the satellite
UDL, and is calculated by following expression.

3.5.2 Network Connectivity
Based on that UDBox receives the target carrier correctly, check connectivity to the
Internet. On the receive router, try ”ping” and ”traceroute” to 202.249.25.193, which is
the UDL side interface of sfc-udl-feed.ai3.net operated in SFC. If it succeeds, UDBox
correctly works and the RR can communicate with others via UDL.
4 UDBox Maintenance
4.1 Configuration Change
To change the configuration of IP address or routing table, use the step-by-step config-
uration. To change the tuner configuration, follow the section .
5 Trouble Shooting
If there is any trouble on UDBox, check the UDBox status and report to operator@asia.soi.wide.ad.jp.
