DO
I NEED SPECIAL SOFTWARE TO RECEIVE THE SERVICE? |
| |
No special software is needed
in order to receive the service. The only software required
are the drivers and the software that comes with your
satellite receiver card configuring it to the correct
DVB parameters. |
| |
|
| |
DO
I NEED TO USE MY DIAL-UP CONNECTION TO RECEIVE THE SERVICE? |
| |
Yes, because this is
a one-way receive only satellite service, which means
that you still need to have a terrestrial connection in
order to upload (transmit) your requests. |
| |
|
| |
WHAT
IS MAC ADDRESS? |
| |
The MAC address is a six-byte
number which is usually represented as six hexadecimal
bytes separated by '-'. For example 00-d0-a1-b2-c3-22.
It uniquely identifies a network interface card. In our
case, it uniquely identifies your satellite card (which
is seen by the operation system as a network card). A
MAC address is built like this: 00-d0-a1 is the code of
the card manufactor. The last numbers XX-XX-XX represent
the last 6 numbers or letters of the serial number of
your DVB card.
You need to communicate this address to our serves (upon
inscription) to receive data from satellite. If you ever
change your satellite card, you must update the MAC information.
|
| |
|
| |
HOW CAN
I KNOW MY MAC ADDRESS? |
| |
Execute the command "winipcfg"
in MS-DOS Prompt in Win95, Win98 or WinME. For all Windows
platforms the command "ipconfig /all" can be
executed and the value to consider is "Physical Address".
For Linux platform the command is "if config |more"
The MAC address can also be obtained by the application
distributed by the card vendor. |
| |
|
| |
WHICH
MAC ADDRESS OPTION DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE: BUILD IP FROM
MAC, USE ISP IP OR USE REAL MAC? |
| |
Each data packet that you receive
by satellite in Unicast has got a destination address.
This destination is identified by the MAC address of your
DVB card. So you will have to choose "use real MAC". |

ISDN or have an extra line phone line installed. Access
to One Way Satellite Broadband is available throughout
the entire Pakistan. subject to a clear line of sight
to our Satellite.
To get your Satellite Broadband service you will need
to contact us sales@infomaxdata.com.
Your ordinary internet connection remains with your ISP
under your existing contract. This means that there will
be two bills - one from the ISP for your service and a
separate one for the Satellite Broadband installation
and your monthly bandwidth usage. |
