Understanding safety alert messages
Safety alert messages call attention to potential safety hazards
and tell you how to avoid them. These messages are identified by
the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, or
NOTICE, as illustrated below. To avoid possible property
damage, personal injury, or in some cases possible death, read
and comply with all safety alert messages.
Messages concerning
personal injury
The signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION
indicate hazards that could result in personal injury or in some
cases death, as explained below. Each of these signal words
indicates the severity of the potential hazard.
Messages concerning
property damage
A NOTICE concerns property damage only.
DANGER
DANGER indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE
NOTICE is used for advisory messages concerning possible
property damage, product damage or malfunction, data loss, or
other unwanted results—but not personal injury.

Safety symbols The generic safety alert symbol
calls attention to a potential personal injury hazard. It appears
next to the DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION signal words
as part of the signal word label. Other symbols may appear next
to DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION to indicate a specific
type of hazard (for example, fire or electric shock). If other
hazard symbols are used in this document they are identified in
this section.

Introduction
Scope and audience This manual explains how to install, commission, and service the
Hughes HX200 satellite router.
This manual is intended for use by the following audiences:
•Professional installers
•Installer trainers, who prepare separate instructions for the
installers
•Call center operators, who respond to customers’ calls
•Call center trainers, who train call center operators
HX200 satellite router
overview
The HX200, as shown in Figure 1 on page 2, is a
high-performance satellite router designed to support provide
carrier-grade IP services using dynamically assigned
high-bandwidth satellite IP connectivity. The HX200 supports
high-bandwidth links with star capability and quality of service
(QoS) features such as Min/Max CIR together with dynamic
allocation of bandwidth. With integrated IP features including
RIPv1, RIPv2, BGP, DHCP, NAT/PAT, and DNS Server/Relay
functionality, together with a high-performance satellite modem,
the HX200 is a full-featured IP router. The HX200 enables
superior IP connectivity for a variety of applications including:
•Cellular backhaul
•MPLS extension services
•Virtual leased line
•Maritime, air, and ground-based mobile networks
The HX200 satellite router provides two 10/100 LAN ports. The
Ethernet LAN port and the 10/100 LAN ports can be connected
via a straight-through or crossover Cat-5 cable to a single
computer or to an Ethernet hub/switch port.
The HX200 is completely self-contained requiring no external PC
to host any functions or software. The software is automatically
updated from the Network Operations Center (NOC).

Chapter 1 • Introduction
21038054-0001 Revision B
An optional rack mount kit is available for the HX200, which
allows the HX200 to be installed in an industry standard 19”
(0.45 m) rack.
HX200 for stabilized
platforms
An enhancement to the HX200 supports stabilized platforms for
the Coastal Maritime Service. In this capacity the HX200 uses
either the Seatel DAC 220 antenna or the Azimuth KNS-150
antenna.
HX200 features A low cost self-hosted device HX terminal with MIPS processor.

DVB-S2 compliant outroute
rates and ratios
The HX200 receives a single Digital Video Broadcast - second
generation (DVB-S2) compliant outroute as defined in Table 5.
The HX200 supports Constant Coding and Modulation (CCM)
and Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) on the outroute.
Installation and
commissioning
The installation and commissioning of the HX200 satellite router
is a multi-step process. The workflow and chapter reference
numbers for the process steps follow.

Commissioning is the process of registering an HX200 satellite
router for service. During the commissioning process you may
use auto selection or manual entry of parameters.
•Auto Selection - Allows you to choose the Network Access
Provider (NAP) from a predetermined list of providers. Many
of the commissioning parameters are automatically
configured for the provider chosen.
•Manual Entry - This mode requires you to enter all
parameters manually.
Contact information If you experience installation problems with the HX200 satellite
router, try the Diagnostic Utilities on page 64.
For warranty or repair support, the contact information varies
depending on the location. If the customer needs service,
warranty or repair support, they should contact their customer
service representative in accordance with their service agreement.
