complete the procedures in the following chapters before seeking
assistance.
If you purchased this product through a Hughes retail channel,
call Customer Care at 1-866-347-3292.
If you purchased this product from a value-added reseller (VAR),
please contact your VAR, rather than Hughes, for assistance. Your
VAR is trained to assist you with any technical problems you
might experience during the upgrade of your HN7000S remote
terminal.
System requirements The HN7000S self-hosted remote terminal is designed to connect
to your computer. To operate in conjunction with the Hughes
network, your computer must meet the following requirements:
•Operating system
– PC: Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows
98 SE
– MAC: 10.1 or higher
•Processor
– PC: Pentium II 333 Mhz or faster
– MAC: 300 Mhz or faster

Chapter 1 • Introduction
21037076-0001 Revision C
•Memory
– PC: 128MB RAM, Windows 2000 and XP; 64MB RAM,
Windows 98SE and Me
– MAC: 128MB
•Free hard drive space
– PC: 100MB
– MAC: 150MB
To determine whether your system meets these installation
requirements, you can use the HughesNet Activation Software
CD included in your upgrade kit. To do so, follow the procedures
outlined in Chapter 3 – Installing the HN7000S remote terminal.
The following items are not included in the upgrade kit.
•A functioning 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface must be
installed on the computer that will be connected to the
HN7000S.
•If the Ethernet cable in the upgrade kit is not long enough to
connect your computer to the HN7000S remote terminal, you
may need to obtain a longer one. You can use a crossover or
straight-through Cat-5 Ethernet cable to connect your
computer to the HN7000S remote terminal.
•A power strip or surge protector. If you do not have one,
proceed with the installation using a standard wall outlet or
other power source.
Summary of the
upgrade process
Upgrading your remote terminal to an HN7000S consists of the
following high-level steps:
•Uninstalling your current remote terminal
•Proper disposal of the old remote terminal
•Installing the HN7000S remote terminal
•Follow-up tasks, including:
– Confirming that the remote terminal’s software is current
– Accessing my HughesNet.com
– Additional tasks
Disposing of the
old remote terminal
Hughes encourages you to dispose and recycle responsibly in
accordance with state and local codes. Many local organizations
will collect your electronic equipment and recycle the materials.

Chapter 3
Installing the HN7000S remote terminal
This chapter explains how to install an HN7000S remote terminal
and register it for service.
The following topics are discussed:
•Attaching the remote terminal to the pedestal base on page 9
•Using the Activation Software CD on page 11
•Disabling web browser proxy settings on page 13
•Configuring your computer’s TCP/IP settings on page 15
•Connecting component cables on page 26
•Completing the activation process on page 27 2
•Testing the connection between the computer and remote
terminal on page 36
•Registering the remote terminal for service on page 39
Attaching the remote
terminal to the pedestal
base
Refer to Figure 4 and follow the steps below to attach the remote
terminal to the pedestal base.
1. Remove the DW6000/DW7000 from the pedestal base by
gently pulling up and back on the tab on the bottom rear of
the base, as shown in Figure 4. You can then slide the base off
the remote terminal.
Note: Although use of the pedestal base is optional for
Enterprise customers, Hughes strongly recommends that you use it
whenever possible. The pedestal base ensures that the remote
terminal receives proper ventilation. If you do not use the pedestal
base, you must make sure that the ventilation openings on the unit
are not blocked during operation. If you are not planning to attach
the unit to a pedestal base, skip to Connecting component cables
on page 26.

2. Position the HN7000S and pedestal base as shown in
Figure 4, aligning the bottom set of ventilation openings on
the HN7000S with the guides on the pedestal base.
3. Gently slide the HN7000S into the pedestal base until it locks
into position.

CAUTION
•Do not connect the power supply to the HN7000S
remote terminal and power source until instructed to do
so.
•Do not block the remote terminal’s ventilation openings.
Do not place the remote terminal near heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, ovens, stoves, or other
components that produce heat.
•Leave approximately 6 inches of space around the top
and sides of the remote terminal to ensure proper
ventilation and to avoid overheating.
