• Enables the installation technician to qualify your computer
• Provides help in solving Internet browsing problems or
problems with email.
• Provides enhanced Internet security and improved
performance for your computer.
• Provides convenient access to helpful support documents and
phone numbers for contacting Hughes Customer Care.
Note: HughesNet Tools and the HughesNet Software Activation
CD are available for the HN7000S only. As of the date of this User
Guide, these features are not available for the HN7700S.
The Activation Software CD is included in the shipping container
when you receive your HN7000S terminal. However, early
models did not include this CD.
The technician who installs (installed) your terminal uses the
Software Activation CD to automatically check your computer to
make sure it meets certain requirements, such as sufficient
memory, operating system version, and Internet Explorer version.
HughesNet Tools should be installed on all computers connected
to the remote terminal. Typically HughesNet Tools is installed
when the remote terminal is installed. Check to see if it is
installed by looking for
