This section will discuss how to access the Silvus StreamCaster GUI for optional changes.

Last updated 9 months ago

All Silvus radios come preconfigured and are ready to use. Changing the settings of the radio is only recommended for advanced users.

Each Silvus radio modem has a dedicated IP address consisting of 4 numbers divided by 3 dots. For example 172.20.123.123. Check your radio modem for the correct IP address.

To get access to the Silvus StreamCaster GUI, the Toughbook must be connected to the Silvus StreamCaster and both units must be powered on.

  1. On the Toughbook open a browser. In the address bar, type in the IP address of the radio modem and press enter.

If you are experiencing any issues with the Google Chrome browser while using the GUI, changing to an “incognito” window may help.

  1. After a few seconds, the browser should open a window with the Silvus StreamCaster GUI. Under the tab Local Radio Configuration -> RF -> Basic, you have access to the basic radio frequency configuration. Here you can set for example the Frequency, Bandwidth, or Total Transmission Power.

To function properly all changes must be applied to both the handheld radio and the DeltaQuad Evo. To save and apply changes to both, ensure that the units are powered on and connected. Choosing 'SAVE AND APPLY TO NETWORK' stores the changes in both devices, preserving them even after a reboot. 'APPLY' only stores the changes until a reboot.

The DeltaQuad Evo Tactical Edition comes with an Interference Avoidance License. When flying in areas where RF jamming is present, the system will use frequency hopping to provide the strongest link possible. The set frequency in the Basic Configuration serves as a starting point from which the system operates.

  1. Under the tab Network Management -> Network Topology, the individual nodes and the signal strength are visible.

  1. Under the tab Security -> Encryption, you can set the security keys.

During setup in our factory, we generate random keys which, for security reasons, are not stored anywhere. When changing the keys, make sure to save and apply the changes to both the handheld radio and the DeltaQuad Evo.

  1. Under the tab Security -> White/Black List a white or black list can be created. A Black List can block specific nodes from the network. A white list can specify the nodes which are allowed to have access to the network.
