# Configure the Pro Kit receiver Source URL: https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-satellite/set-up-blockstream-satellite-kit/configure-the-pro-kit-receiver Updated: 2026-04-09T09:37:33.000Z Category: Blockstream Satellite Section: Set up Blockstream Satellite Kit --- **This is step 5 of the** [**Blockstream Satellite Kit setup guide**](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-satellite/set-up-blockstream-satellite-kit/set-up-a-blockstream-satellite-kit)**.** The Blockstream Satellite Pro Kit receiver needs to be configured in order to process the data received by the satellite antenna. The _blocksat-cli_ utility provides some simple instructions to configure the receiver through its web interface. For any steps that require you to enter a command, copy and paste each line as shown below and press enter. ## Generate the S400 Configuration Instructions 1. On your Linux computer, open the Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T). 2. Enter the following command to display your configuration instructions. ```auto blocksat-cli instructions ``` 3. The Blockstream Satellite Utility will display a series of instructions and parameters that are needed to configure the satellite receiver. Keep this window open, you'll need it for the next step. ![blocksat-cli-instructions_copy.png](https://dxp-backend.devserver.app/uploads/help-center/content/blockstream-satellite/set-up-blockstream-satellite-kit/configure-the-pro-kit-receiver/900002214866.png) This is an example, the required parameters for your receiver will be different. ## Configure the Receiver 1. Make sure that your satellite receiver is connected to your computer via the **LAN 1** port and switched on. 2. Set the IP address for your computer's Ethernet connection to `192.168.1.3` and the netmask to `255.255.255.0`. [Ubuntu users can follow this guide](https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/net-fixed-ip-address.html.en). 3. Open a web browser, type in the IP address `192.168.1.2`, and press enter. You should now see the Pro Kit receiver's web interface. 4. Log in as admin. Default password: `password`. 5. Follow the instructions obtained in the _Generate Configuration Instructions_ step to configure your receiver's settings. 6. Double-check that the settings entered into the web interface match those provided by the Blockstream Satellite Utility, then click **Apply**. ## Configure Your Computer 1. Open the Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T). 2. Enter the command below to configure the network interface that will receive the IP traffic output by the S400. ```auto sudo blocksat-cli standalone cfg ``` > **Warning:** This command will modify your computer's networking settings (e.g. open firewall ports on the network interface). If you would like to review the changes that will be made before applying them, first run: `blocksat-cli standalone cfg` 3. Monitor the S400 receiver's output. ```auto blocksat-cli standalone monitor ``` ## Next Steps You can now proceed to [install your antenna](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-satellite/set-up-blockstream-satellite-kit/install-the-satellite-antenna).
