Silvus StreamCaster GUI
This section will explain how to access the Silvus StreamCaster GUI for optional changes.
All Silvus radios come preconfigured and are ready for immediate use. Changing the settings is recommended only for advanced users.
Each Silvus radio modem has a dedicated IP address consisting of four octets separated by periods. For example 172.20.123.123.
The individual IP address of each Silvus StreamCaster is marked on the back of the radio module.
To access the Silvus StreamCaster GUI, ensure that the Toughbook is connected to the Silvus StreamCaster and both units are powered on.
On the Toughbook, open a browser. In the address bar, enter the IP address of the radio modem and press Enter.
If you encounter issues with the Google Chrome browser while using the GUI, try switching to an incognito window, which may help resolve the problem.
The battery level of the radio modem is displayed in the top right corner of the GUI's menu bar.
Critical battery levels are indicated by the radio modem's LED. For more information, please refer to the following section.
After a few seconds, the browser should display the Silvus StreamCaster GUI. Navigate to the tab Local Radio Configuration -> RF -> Basic to access the basic radio frequency settings. Here, you can configure parameters such as Frequency, Bandwidth, and Total Transmission Power.
To ensure proper functionality, all changes must be applied to both the handheld radio and the DeltaQuad Evo. To save and apply changes to both devices, make sure they are powered on and connected. Selecting SAVE AND APPLY TO NETWORK will store the changes in both devices, preserving them even after a reboot. Using APPLY will only apply the changes temporarily until the next reboot.
The DeltaQuad Evo Tactical includes an Interference Avoidance License. In areas with RF jamming, the system will employ frequency hopping to maintain the strongest possible link. The frequency set in the Basic Configuration acts as the starting point for the system's operation.
Under the tab Network Management -> Network Topology, you can view the individual nodes along with their signal strength.
Under the tab Security -> Encryption, you can configure the security keys.
During factory setup, we generate random keys that are not stored for security reasons. When changing these keys, ensure you save and apply the changes to both the handheld radio and the DeltaQuad Evo.
Under the tab Security -> White/Black List, you can create either a white list or a black list. A black list can block specific nodes from accessing the network, while a white list specifies which nodes are allowed to access the network.
