Supported configurations
This section shows examples of supported congurations using the HN9000 satellite modem.
The satellite modem may be used in a single-host conguration or multiple-host conguration. In a single-host
conguration, the satellite modem is directly connected to the host (a computer), as shown in Figure 2: Single-host
conguration on page 2. The Hughes Internet Gateway is a Hughes-operated satellite station that provides a connection
between the Internet and the satellite. The gateway routes data to and from the Internet and to and from the satellite,
which in turn beams a signal down to the satellite modem to provide Internet connectivity.
Figure 2: Single-host configuration
In a multiple-host conguration, the hosts on the LAN share satellite Internet or internet connectivity through an Ethernet
hub, router, or wireless base station. The satellite modem is connected to the hub, router, or wireless base station, as
shown in Figure 3: Multiple-host conguration in an Ethernet wired LAN on page 2.
Note: You must provide and congure hub, router, or wireless base station equipment if any of these are used.
