Description
Chapter 1
Overview
This user guide describes the features and operation of the HT1100 satellite
modem, which provides Internet access by satellite. This guide also gives pertinent
reference information.
This guide applies to users in the United States and Canada. In this user guide
satellite modem and modem both refer to the HT1100 satellite modem.
The HT1100 satellite modem connects to a satellite network to provide Internet
service. The modem has an Ethernet port so it can be connected to a computer or
LAN. Figure 1 shows the front of the HT1100 satellite modem.
After your HT1100 satellite modem has been installed, you can use your computer’s
web browser to access the Internet or an intranet. The HT1100 supports local area
networks (LANs) to extend Internet connectivity to multiple computers. This
requires an Ethernet cable or a wireless or a wired connection to the LAN and
proper configuration of the computer's operating system network properties.
