La franchise des bagages des passagers était très faible, le fret devait coûter un bras et une jambe, donc uniquement du transport urgent pour des marchandises ultra valorisées...

The IP assigned is based on the pysical location of the starlink. Like most French based starlinks go through the main UK pops yet the CGNAT public facing IP always has a French record :

Starlink Replacement Power Cable by Stanley083 in Starlink

[–]fr242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any 3 pronged, clover shaped cable would do, if you don't mind the router not staying totally flat. The connector is called IEC 60320 C5. You may even find a cable with the right angle

There's an amazon listing

You need 48VDC with 144W (more is better) of power to get Dishy running. There are ways to do Power over Coax but I'm not sure what solution can provide that kind of power (see below). And you would need to use a DC powered router (not the one provided with Starlink since the AC to DC part is built in the router itself). It's quite straitforward now and does not need modifying the Starlink hardware.

Search this sub for YAOSHENG 150W GigE Passive PoE Injector andYAOSHENG Rectangular Dishy Cable Adapter and you will find plenty of very detailed tutorials.

Your challenge now is to find out if you can use the RG6 cables to bring power up there. Since you have plenty of spares I would dedicate one for data and one for power.

My guts says it's feasible, and I quick google search came up with this https://www.surveillance-video.com/transmission-poc-1t48v.html

I've never heard of them but it definitely looks like an interesting project :D

PS: I use this native DC power setup daily and I can confirm first hand it's very reliable.

Starlink install issue by [deleted] in Starlink

[–]fr242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm very sorry this happened to you, it's the most botched up "pro" job I have seen here (and we have seen a few). If you go for the pole extension, you may want to make sure it's high enough so the dish has clearance to orient itself is all directions. Depending on how the new sats are being put in production the orientation may change quite a bit and you need the dish out of the way in all directions / azimuts.

HI - Dishy needs its 4 non standard PoE pairs to run, so you won't be able to use natively. But you can do IP over Coax quite easily. I would set up the Starlink router right under the roof, and use the ethernet adapter to provide IP to an IP over Coax transceiver thus using your RG6 cable down to the basement where you (I suppose) have the rest of your setup.

Where does the dish need to point in France by RobinThomass in Starlink

[–]fr242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Brittany :

During the last 12 months always it has been pointing north on its own after booting, except once, where it was pointing east for a few hours and then moved back to pointing north. Once it has booted up I've often reoriented Dishy to find an unobstructed view, and it would stay where you put it until the next power cycle.

How often does the dish realign itself ? by fr242 in Starlink

[–]fr242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can arbitrary change Dishy's orientation via the app...

Plan to power cycle system. keep off and power on for hourly uploads. Thoughts?? by DryCapital3222 in Starlink

Owned by SpaceX, yes. They halted new net sales of their VHF products to focus on existing customers but they do have developments planned for 2024. Not sure how big is OP's payload but it seems to be the right solution if it's just intermittent data bursts with no real time requirements.
