Chapter 3

Installing the satellite router

Installation of the HX90 satellite router consists of physical installation, followed by 
commissioning and registration. These processes prepare the router for operation on 
the satellite network. Installation tasks include:

•

Physical installation and power-up

•

Entering parameters required for commissioning

•

Commissioning, including antenna pointing

The installation software is factory pre-installed in the satellite router. 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 parameters.

Prerequisites for installing the router

The following are required before you can install, commission, and register the 
satellite router:

•

The antenna and radio assembly must be installed, as instructed in the antenna 
installation guide. (However, you point the antenna as part of the router 
commissioning process, which is explained later in this installation guide.)

•

The IFL cables must be installed and connected to the satellite router and to the 
radio assembly (LNB and transmitter).

Select a location for the satellite router that will accommodate all required cable 
connections, including connection to the power source.
