Satellite modem overview
The HN9000 satellite modem connects to the Internet or an intranet by satellite
and provides Internet or intranet service to a single host, typically a computer, Topics:
• Supported configurations
or to multiple hosts on a LAN. A host may be a computer using Windows or
other supported operating system.
• Satellite modem specifications
The modem is a self-hosted unit, meaning that it does not depend on a computer
to establish and maintain the Internet or intranet connection. However, the
modem must be connected to a properly aligned satellite antenna. The modem
has an Ethernet port so it can be connected to a computer or to an Ethernet LAN.
