Hughes HN

Note: Depending on the state of the modem/router firmware and its registration with the Hughes network,
commissioning can take up to 40 minutes. Periodic updates on the state of the process allow users to track the
progress of the operation.
The combination of a modem/router with a controller and positioner is called a Satellite Temporary Fixed Terminal
(STFT). A modem/router operating in this configuration is operating in STFT mode. When the antenna is stowed and
transmit is disabled on the router/modem, the STFT will be in the “Idle” state. This is generally used when transporting
the antenna. The STFT is considered to be active in all states except for the “Idle” state.
As long as the antenna is pointed, the modem/router could enter the Operational phase and become fully operational
without interacting with the AAQ controller. After modem/router reboot, the modem/router will report “Operational
Status-Down” to the AAQ controller until it can reconcile its configuration over the network.
