Activation procedure
The customer, not the installer, activates the HughesNet service. A summary of the activation
process is provided here, so that you, the installer, will know what the customer should expect.
This summary description is not a complete description of the activation process, and it does
not show all the screens the customer will see during service activation. The screens that follow
are selected to give you an idea of what to expect during service activation.
The customer activates the HughesNet service on the customer’s computer. Do not use the
installer laptop for activation, unless the customer’s computer is not working. If you use the
installer laptop for activation, close your browser at the Downloading Software screen to prevent
the HughesNet Tools from being downloaded to the installer laptop. If you have only the link-local
IP address 169.254.10.10 configured on the installer laptop, you must enable DHCP to
demonstrate Internet browsing to the customer.
1. Following the instructions in the Quick Start Guide, which is shipped with the modem, the
customer opens a supported web browser, types
www.systemcontrolcenter.com (or
192.168.0.1 ) into the address bar and presses Enter.
The System Control Center home page appears, showing the Activate link below the HN9000
System Control Center screen title. See
Figure 33: Activate link on the System Control Center
home page on page 55.
The Activate link appears only on a new modem when the modem is ready to be activated
(after commissioning is complete). The Activate link is not present after activation is
completed.
