The terminal, in combination with an antenna, can also provide
satellite connectivity for multiple computers on a wireless or
wired (Ethernet) LAN. After the terminal and network are
installed, every computer on the network can access the Internet.
To learn more about using the terminal with a network, see
Appendix B – Home Networking, on page 95.
Antenna installation and
service
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires
professional installation and service of the remote terminal’s
outdoor antenna assembly because it transmits radio frequency
(RF) energy.

Note: You can connect multiple home computers and laptops to
a single Internet connection at no additional cost. To do this, you
need home networking equipment, which is not included with this
product. For network setup, support and configuration, contact
your network hardware manufacturer and/or operating system
software developer. Hughes is not responsible for home network
management and troubleshooting. Simultaneous use of high
bandwidth applications by multiple users may result in
degradation of speed. Actual speeds may vary. Speed and
uninterrupted use of service are not guaranteed.
