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.
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).
Chapter 1 Satellite modem overview This user guide describes the features and operation of the HT2000 satellite modem, which provides Internet access by satellite. In this user guide, satellite modem and modem both refer to the HT2000 satellite modem. Description The HT2000 satellite modem connects to a satellite network to provide Internet service.
Do not press the reset/rescue button on the HT2000 unless a customer service representative tells you to do so. The USB port is provided to support a future modem feature. Hughes does not recommend plugging anything into this port at this time. Hughes will inform you when this feature is available.
Operating position Operate the HT2000 modem only in an upright, vertical position, resting on its built-in base, as shown in Figure 2. Any other position could result in insufficient ventilation, overheating, and malfunction. Figure 2: Modem operating position Computer requirements The computer that connects to the satellite modem should meet the minimum requirements specified by the computer operating system manufacturer and the following networking and browser requirements.
Contact information If you need operational, warranty, or repair support, who you should contact depends on where you purchased your satellite modem. Please contact your customer service representative (CSR) in accordance with your service agreement. Power supply information Always use the power supply provided with the satellite modem. The modem's performance may suffer if the wrong power supply is used.
Connecting the modem power cord The HT2000 power cord connector uses a locking mechanism to ensure it stays snugly connected to the modem. Make sure the connector is oriented correctly when plugging it into the DC IN port. Figure 3 explains how to correctly orient the power cord connector.

When removing the power cord, brace the modem with one hand. Use your other hand to slide the power connector sleeve toward you (away from the modem) and pull the power cord from the DC IN port. See Figure Important: If the power cord does not easily disconnect from the DC IN port, do not force it.
Chapter 2 System Control Center The System Control Center is a set of screens and links you can use to monitor your service and troubleshoot the satellite modem in the event of a problem. The System Control Center provides access to system status, configuration information, and online documentation.
Indicator links At the top of each System Control Center page are two indicators followed by a text link (Figure 7), as well as a language selection drop-down. Figure 7: Indicators and links Each text link navigates to a page in the System Control Center. Table 1 describes the destination page for each link.
Side panel The following links appear on the left side panel of each System Control Center screen as shown in Figure Figure 9: Side panel links Home – Opens the System Control Center home page. Connectivity Test – Opens the Connectivity Test page, which you can use to test the connection between the satellite modem and the NOC.
System Status page The System Status page lists parameter information vital to the proper operation of the HT2000. Available system status values (as shown in Figure 10) may vary, depending on how your satellite modem is configured. Figure 10: System Status page Chapter 2 ●...
System Information page The System Information page (shown in Figure 11) provides system information for the satellite modem, such as identification information, software versions, and satellite information. Figure 11: System Information page Connectivity test To test your connectivity: 1. Click the Connectivity Test link on the side panel. The Terminal/Gateway Connectivity Test panel appears in the center of the screen.
4. When the test completes, the results appear in the center panel. Figure 13 shows the results of the test. Figure 13: Connectivity test results Built-in self test Use the Built-In Self Test link on the side panel to check the connectivity of the satellite modem.
Chapter 3 LEDS Front-panel LEDs The satellite modem has five LEDs on the front panel, as shown in Figure 15. By their appearance (on, off, blinking, or flashing) the LEDs indicate the modem's operating status. The front-panel LEDs are white when lit. POWER –...
