Satellite router overview
The HN9500 satellite router 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 router specifications
The router 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 router
must be connected to a properly aligned satellite antenna. The router has two
Ethernet ports so it can be connected to one or two Ethernet LANs if desired.

An internal modem (with telephone jack) supports an optional backup feature
known as VADB. In the event of a satellite link failure, VADB provides a
temporary phone line connection to the Internet instead of the satellite link.
VADB is designed for enterprise customers (which are typically large
businesses).
