Configuring applications from UT Node to UT Node

Open NetSim, Select Examples ->Satellite Communication -> UT to UT Communication then click on the tile in the middle panel to load the example as shown in below screenshot

Figure4-7

The following network diagram illustrates, what the NetSim UI displays when you open the example configuration file as shown in below Figure.

Figure4-8

Settings done in example config file

  1. Set the following property as shown in below given table:

    UT_Node Properties -> Interface (Satellite) -> DataLink Layer
    Gateway Sat_Gateway_4

  2. Go to UT_Node_2 properties -> Network_Layer -> Enable - Static IP Route ->Configure Static Route IP.
    Figure4-9

  3. Set the properties in Static Route IP window as per the screenshot below and click on Add. Click on OK.
    Figure4-10
  4. Go to Sat_Gateway_4 properties -> Network_Layer -> Enable - Static IP Route ->Configure Static Route IP
    Figure4-11
  5. Set the properties in Static Route IP window as per the screenshot below and click on Add. Click on OK. Figure4-12
  6. Set Application Properties are default (Packet Size: 1460, Inter Arrival Time: 20000 µs)
  7. Set Transport Protocol to UDP
  8. Enable Packet Trace, Event Trace and Plots.
  9. Run simulation for 100 seconds and observe the result.

Result: Go to the result window and open packet trace/ Animation window user can observe the packet flow from UT node (source) → Satellite → Sat gateway → Satellite → UT node (destination)
