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.
