Silvus radio configuration

To know how to do a basic configuration of the Silvus radio, visit Silvus radio configuration - Integration examples section of 1x Hardware Manual.

However, an additional configuration is required when working with a PCS instead of the GND unit of Veronte Autopilot 1x.

• Networking. LAN Settings

  

  

  • Virtual IP: Enable or Disable the Secondary IP address for the radio. Enable
  • Virtual IPv4 Address: Set the secondary IP address for the radio. The user can set any IP address, we have chosen 192.168.96 for the radio connected to the air unit and 192.168.95 for the radio linked to the PCS.
  • Virtual IPv4 Netmask: Netmask for the Secondary IP address, e.g. 255.255.255.0.
  • Virtual IPv4 Gateway: Gateway for local network to allow radio to connect to the internet. 192.168.8.1 is set because it is the IP address of the PCS router.
