Successful commissioning ends with the modem rebooting into normal operational mode.
For detailed information about the commissioning process, the Terminal Initialization Sequence screen, and possible
error messages, see Commissioning and installation reference information on page 34. There is also a section on
installation troubleshooting (Troubleshooting installation problems on page 39). Unless you encounter a problem, you
should not need this reference or troubleshooting information, and you can proceed to Activating the HughesNet service
on page 41.

Implementation of second IP address

After commissioning has completed, as indicated by the Installation Complete message, the satellite modem implements
an IP address of 192.168.0.1 in addition to the previously entered address, 169.254.0.1.
The installer should continue to use the settings specified in Setting the installer laptop IP address and should continue
to use the 169.254.0.1 address to access the HN9000 from the installer laptop. However, after the modem is activated
(a subsequent step), the installer cannot use this address to browse the Internet.
After commissioning, using the customer's browser, you (or the customer) can type www.systemcontrolcenter.com
(or 192.168.0.1) to open the System Control Center. To use 192.168.0.1, the satellite modem must be configured for
a private IP address, and DHCP must be enabled on the computer.
Note: You cannot use the address 169.254.0.1 to access the modem from a computer that has DHCP enabled.

Commissioning and installation reference information

This reference section:
• Lists the commissioning activities and corresponding progress messages that are displayed on the Terminal Initialization

• Includes explanation of error messages you could see in the event of a problem.
• Explains the fields in the Terminal Info section, which appears on the Terminal Pointing Info screen and on the
Terminal Initialization Sequence screen.
For explanation of state codes, which appear on the installation screens (and System Control Center screens) as State
code plus a number, see Table 10: State codes on page 67.

Commissioning activities and progress messages

All possible progress (or status) messages for each commissioning activity are shown in Table 4: Commissioning progress
