Figure 1. Sample Scenario Using the STE for Type-1 Encryption

This document describes how to configure the KlasHopper 600 PCMCIA to answer with a STE.  Figure 1 represents a typical KlasHopper scenario in a deployed environment using satellite communications to connect back to a home network.  In this example, the KlasHopper 600 on the Mobile Side is terminating a PPP connection using the STE for Type-1 Encryption.  On the Home Side, the PPP connection can be initiated by either a router or another PC.  On the Mobile side, a KlasTA is used to access the Public ISDN network through the M4 INMARSAT terminals.  Follow the directions in this document to configure the KlasHopper 600 network interface and complete the steps required to create and use a Dial-up Networking connection from a Windows XP PC.

  2.0 Cable Connections

Prior to beginning, ensure the following cable connections have been properly secured:

  1. KlasHopper 600 cable (KHHSD023) is connected to the female RS-530 connector on the STE.
  2. ISDN cable is connected from the ISDN port on the STE to the RJ-45 Input Port on KlasTA.
  3. ISDN cables are connected to the RJ-45 ISDN Output Ports 1 and 2 from KlasTA and the ISDN ports on each M4 Terminal.

  3.0 Configure the STE

The STE has a specific sequence of settings that allow it to encrypt data using the RS-530 serial data port.  Follow the instructions from Application Note Q100014 in order to configure the STE so that it will work properly with the KlasHopper 600 and KlasTA.
