Installing the satellite modem

Installation of the HN9000 satellite modem consists of physical installation,
which is very simple, followed by a complex but highly automated process that

Topics:

•

Selecting the modem location

fully prepares the modem for operation on the satellite network. Installation
tasks include:

•

Modem operating position

•

Powering up the modem

• Physical installation and power-up

•

Connecting the installer laptop to
the modem

• Entering required installation parameters
• Pointing the antenna

•

Entering the installation
parameters

• Monitoring the commissioning process
• Service activation

Typically, the satellite modem is installed as part of a new satellite terminal
installation. Under some circumstances, a modem may have to be re-installed.

Note:

In some cases re-installation may correct a specific service problem.

Re-installation should only be done by a qualified installer or service
technician or someone under specific direction by Hughes Customer Care.

The installation software is factory pre-installed in the satellite modem. If
necessary, this software is automatically updated as part of the installation
process. You access the installation software through a browser on your installer
computer to perform tasks such as entering required installation parameters.
