For the HN9000 modem, select 1 W or 2 W ODU power only.
•
U code – Select the U Code (Satellite ID) shown on the Installation Reference Sheet.
The A, B, C, and U code fields each have a drop-down menu for easier and more accurate data entry. Make your
selections from these menus. You can type your own value in the space that reads, Enter Your Own Value—but do
this only if you are specifically instructed to do so by Hughes Installer Support.
Note: You can clear previously entered installation information by clicking Control in the screen's left panel,
and then clicking Clear Terminal Install. A message warns that this operation could make the modem
inoperable. Execute this command only if you are confident you know what to expect. The modem reboots,
and all fields are cleared.
5. Enter the site latitude and longitude values from your GPS receiver, in degrees and minutes to three decimal places.
If you enter a latitude or longitude value with a minute value greater than .59xxx, you will see an error message. To
avoid this, perform a calculation as illustrated below to reduce the value to less than .59xxx:
For example, if the latitude displayed by the GPS receiver is 39.8874 ( .8874 > .59xxx)...
Multiply the decimal part by 60:
.8874 x 60 = 53.244
Enter 39.53.244.
Note that if you type a number with a leading zero, the zero is not displayed after you press Submit Installation
Parameters. For example, if you type 06 it is displayed as 6.
Figure 15: Example of a GPS receiver display on page 23 shows an example of a GPS receiver display showing
latitude and longitude and the part of the Installation screen where these values are entered.
For Latitude, the North radio button is selected by default. For Longitude, West is selected by default.
