DW6000/7000 is a server

The DWx000 is a server that like any other computer or host has software

communication ports that are open for users to connect to. If you are interested the

internal server runs the VxWorks Real Time Operating System (RTOS).

The following ports are open:

21 ftp

23 telnet

80 http, www-http, www

87 ttylink (Web Proxy

1953 DW6000 VSAT install console

Telnet 192.168.0.1 1953

Will allow you to connect to the Direcway 6000 VSAT Install Console using telnet to

port 1953. This is not a place for the uninitiated. It used is used by installers and 2

to 3

level support to do unnatural acts to the DW6000, such as reset to factory defaults and

restart a unit at the beginning of the registration process.

Even though ports 21 and 23 are open They are there for the VxWorks developers at

Hughes. You will not find anything there that is usable from a users standpoint. We do

not use them at second or third level support as no one knows the passwords to gain

access. Take my word for it, I have seen what is available at both of these ports and it is

simply a waste of time to try and hack them.

DHCP and NAT – Residential Service Offering

The DW6000 function as a server will serve as the main DHCP and NAT server on the

customers intranet. We know of no way to instruct the DWx000 to not perform these

functions or to configure these functions to meet a site’s requirements. Such as,

specifying that DHCP is to hand out addresses in a range other than 192.168.0.x.

What this means is that the DWx000 server is a LAN unfriendly router. The customer is

unable to use a cable modem or DSL modem router they may have purchased before as

there will be conflicts in DHCP servers. The DWx000 must be king of the local intranet

and the customer necessarily must buy hubs/switches and access points instead of routers.
