To determine whether your system meets these installation
requirements, you can use the HughesNet Activation Software
CD included in your upgrade kit. To do so, follow the procedures
outlined in Chapter 3 – Installing the HN7000S remote terminal.
The following items are not included in the upgrade kit.
• A functioning 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface must be
installed on the computer that will be connected to the
HN7000S.
• If the Ethernet cable in the upgrade kit is not long enough to
connect your computer to the HN7000S remote terminal, you
may need to obtain a longer one. You can use a crossover or
straight-through Cat-5 Ethernet cable to connect your
computer to the HN7000S remote terminal.
• A power strip or surge protector. If you do not have one,
proceed with the installation using a standard wall outlet or
other power source.
Upgrading your remote terminal to an HN7000S consists of the
following high-level steps:
• Uninstalling your current remote terminal
• Proper disposal of the old remote terminal
• Installing the HN7000S remote terminal
• Follow-up tasks, including:
– Confirming that the remote terminal's software is current
– Accessing my HughesNet.com
– Additional tasks
