HN7000S overview

The HN7000S remote terminal (Figure 2) is a self-hosted
terminal with one Ethernet port. An HN7000S terminal connected
to a properly aligned antenna assembly can provide satellite
Internet or intranet connectivity to a single host or multiple hosts
on a local area network (LAN). A host may be a computer using
the Windows, Unix, Mac, or Linux operating systems.
Note: Hughes does not provide technical support for hosts using
Unix or Linux operating systems, although hosts can use these
operating systems and operate normally.

The software required to operate the remote terminal resides in
the remote terminal, so it does not have to be installed on the
host(s). After your terminal has been professionally installed, you
can use a Web browser on your computer to access the Internet.
You will also be able to operate a local area network (LAN) after
you configure your computers with network interface cards
(NICs), connect them with Ethernet cable or through a wireless
base station, and configure your computer's operating system
network properties.
The terminal has a System Control Center (SCC) that provides
access to important system information such as your site ID,
terminal Internet Protocol (IP) address, and subnet mask; the
