7. Click OK to save the settings.

If you have not change the default login information on the Pilot the username and password are both "admin"
9. Select the Configuration link and check the box to the right of "Use as DHCP Server" then select "Update IP Configuration" to save the settings.
10. Now you will need to go back to steps 1-5 and this time change back to "Obtain an IP address automatically" then click OK.
You have now configured your Pilot to work with your computer.
Now you can connect the Sidekick to your Pilot system.
Connect the USB power cable between the Sidekick and the AC power adapter or other optional USB power source.
Once the unit powers up the green Wireless light will come on. After a moment the red Ready light will come on as well indicating that the device is ready for use.
Now connect an ethernet cable between your satellite phone and the WAN port on the Sidekick.
The Sidekick will now be broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal with the SSID of Sidekick-xxx (xxx = the last 3 digits of the MAC address of the Sidekick).
On your computer or device you should now be able to connect to this Wi-Fi.
Be sure to set the connection setting of your OCENS software to point to the Sidekick device.
