Prerequisites for installing the modem

Selecting the modem installation location

Installation of the HN9800 satellite modem consists of physical installation followed
by a highly automated process that fully prepares the modem 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
• Registering the modem
The installation software is factory pre-installed in the satellite modem and
automatically updated as part of the installation process. You access the installation
software through your computer's browser to perform installation tasks.
Make sure the installation location meets the following requirements concerning
ventilation and heat sources.
• Do not block any of the modem's ventilation openings.
• Leave 6 inches of space around the top and sides of the modem to ensure
adequate ventilation and prevent overheating.
• Do not place the modem near a heat source such as direct sunlight, a radiator,
heat register or vent, oven, stove, amplifier, or other apparatus that produces
heat.
Select a location for the satellite modem that accommodates all required cable
connections, including the connection to the power source.
