• Ethernet port
• Ethernet NIC installed on at least one computer, 10/100 BaseT
• Ethernet cable (provided for consumer installations)
• A web browser such as Internet Explorer with proxy settings disabled
Connecting a network — If the customer wants to connect a network to the satellite
router, this requires an Ethernet hub or other such device. The customer must supply
and configure the hub and cables. Required IP address information is obtained during
commissioning.
Static IP address — The computer can be configured to use a static IP address if the
HughesNet service plan provides for one or more static IP addresses. If the computer
is configured to use a specific static IP address, disable DHCP.
CAUTION
Do not connect the power supply to the satellite router, or connect the power
supply to a power source until you are instructed to do so.
The satellite router is the indoor component of the satellite terminal. The terminal
also includes the (outdoor) antenna and IFL cables. This section presents information
on the outdoor components and other related equipment. For additional
information, see the applicable documents listed in Table 3 on page 20.
You must assemble and install the antenna before you install the satellite router. You
point the antenna as part of the router commissioning process.
CAUTION
Only a trained professional installer should install the outdoor antenna
assembly. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
requires professional installation and service of the antenna assembly because
it transmits radio frequency (RF) energy.
The HX90 satellite router can be used with a 0.74 m, 0.98 m, 1.2 m, or 1.8 m two-way
satellite antenna. The antenna assembly is shipped in a separate box.
The main source of information on the antenna is the antenna installation guide.
Each antenna model has its own installation guide. If you do not have the antenna
installation guide, find the required antenna model on the Installation Reference
