Introduction
This manual explains how to install, commission, and service the
Hughes HN7700S as a Terrestrial Broadband Router (HN router).
The manual also includes installation information for the DSL
and T-1 transport methods used with the HN router. This chapter
discusses the following topics:
•Scope and audience on page 1
•HN router overview on page 1
•Router specifications on page 2
•Commissioning on page 3
•Installation and commissioning steps on page 4
The HN7700S has dual functions. This manual covers the
HN7700S’ function as a router. It is also used as a VSAT
terminal.
Scope and audience 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
This manual is intended for use in the United States and Canada.
Certain information may vary depending on the customer’s
location. This manual identifies such differences where
applicable.
In this guide, the term HN router refers to the HN7700S acting as
a router. Transport devices refer to the Siemens 4100/4101
SpeedStream Modem or the ADTRAN Total Access 660R T-1 line.
HN router overview The HN router, as shown in Figure 1 on page 2, is a standalone
unit that provides an integrated broadband LAN solution to
platforms running IP over Ethernet. The HN router provides two
10/100 LAN ports with one being used for local LAN
connectivity and one being used for WAN connectivity. The
Ethernet LAN port can be connected via a straight-through or

crossover Cat-5 cable to a single computer or to an Ethernet
hub/switch port. It is completely self-contained requiring no
external PC to host any functions or software. The software is
automatically updated from the Network Operations Center. It
also has an an internal modem (with telephone jack) to support
the Virtual Private Network Automatic Dial Backup (VADB)
feature.

Commissioning Commissioning is the process of registering an HN 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.
Associated transport
devices
Installation and commissioning of the HN router requires
configuring/commissioning tasks for the transport device. This
version of the Installation Guide provides information on the
following:
•ADTRAN Total Access 600R as described in Appendix E –
ADTRAN Total Access 600R, on page 99.
•Siemens Model 4100/4101 as described in Appendix F –
Siemens 4100/4101 DSL Modem, on page 117.

Preparing the HN router for installation
This chapter discusses preparations you must make prior to
installing the HN router and information you should know before
beginning the installation.
This chapter discusses the following tasks:
•Items required for installation on page 5
•Confirming installer PC and site requirements on page 6
•Customer site requirements on page 7
Items required for
installation
The HN router and the transport device shipping cartons contain
the equipment necessary for installation. Before beginning the
installation make sure you have all of the items shown in Figure 2
on page 6 and any other materials you may need.
Note: Install your trasport device before installing the HN router.
The appendices listed below give the installation instructions for
the trasport devices.
•Appendix E – ADTRAN Total Access 600R, on page 99
•Appendix F – Siemens 4100/4101 DSL Modem, on page 117
Note: Customers who purchased their system from a Hughes
retail channel receive an order confirmation e-mail.
Note: If the site has a DC power source, it will require a DC/DC
power supply. See Table 2 on page 11. You must provide the
wire required to assemble the DC input power cable.

Chapter 2 • Preparing the HN router for installation

Items required for
installation
Ensure the HN router shipping carton contains the items shown in
Figure 2.
Confirming installer PC
and site requirements
You must confirm that your PC (the installer laptop) and the
customer’s computer meet specific requirements before you
install the HN router or the transport device. The installer laptop
PC must meet the following requirements:
•Ethernet enabled network interface card (NIC) and Ethernet
cable.
•Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 operating
system with DHCP configured to automatically obtain IP
addresses. See Appendix A – Configuring a computer to
support DHCP, on page 69.
