Installation of the HN9500 satellite router consists of physical installation
followed by a highly automated process that fully prepares the router for
operation on the satellite network. Installation tasks include:
• Physical installation and power-up
• Entering required installation parameters
• Pointing the antenna
• Monitoring the commissioning process
• Service activation
Typically, the satellite router is installed as part of a new satellite terminal
installation. Under some circumstances, a router 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 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 installation parameters.
