Reception Info

The Reception Info screen displays the fields described below. Table 2 describes the RxCodes in detail.

Receive status - reports the status of the receive data path. Clicking on the blue status message displays corresponding help information.

Frames received- reports the number of data messages received by the DW6000 over the satellite link.

Frames with Errors- reports the percentage of received frames that were found to be corrupted. A continuously increasing value indicates problems in the receive path. This may happen in adverse weather conditions or if the receive cable or the antenna has a problem. However, if a low nonincreasing value is displayed and the system is functioning, there is no reason for concern. You do not need to do any troubleshooting or contact installer support.

Bad Key Frames- indicates the percentage of received frames that could not be decrypted successfully. All data received over the satellite is encrypted. A continuously increasing value indicates the unit is not commissioned.

Receive Status messages The following messages may appear in the Receive Status field. The Comments section in Table 2 gives more information about each code, and describes any possible corrective measures. See Figure 49 on page 45 for corrective measure involving cables or the power supply. Power cycling means to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or surge protector, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in. If corrective measures do not solve a problem, contact installer support.

RxCode 5 means receive is working properly. It is the code you will see most of the time.

DW6000 specifications

The Hughes DW6000 is a high-performance satellite modem designed primarily for broadband Internet access, particularly in remote and rural areas where traditional wired options aren’t feasible. This equipment is prominent within Hughes Network Systems' lineup of satellite communication technologies and offers a robust solution for both residential and commercial applications.

One of the standout features of the Hughes DW6000 is its compatibility with the HughesNet satellite broadband service. It supports two-way satellite Internet connectivity, allowing users to send and receive data simultaneously, which enhances Internet speed and efficiency. The modem operates on the Ka-band, which is known for providing higher bandwidth and faster data transmission rates compared to traditional Ku-band systems.

The DW6000 is equipped with advanced technologies such as Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM), which dynamically adjusts data transmission rates based on network conditions. This feature ensures optimal performance and availability of service, even under less-than-ideal weather conditions or during peak usage times. Additionally, it includes built-in Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, which prioritize network traffic to maintain steady, reliable performance for applications like video streaming and VoIP.

With a user-friendly design, the Hughes DW6000 offers straightforward installation and setup processes, making it accessible for users who may not have technical expertise. Its compact size also allows for easy placement in various environments.

Moreover, the modem supports various interface options, including Ethernet for connecting multiple devices, and USB connections for individual setups. This versatility makes it a fit for both home networks and small office environments.

The DW6000 also has security features in place, including encryption options to safeguard data transmission. This is particularly important in today's digital landscape, where data privacy and security are vital considerations.

In summary, the Hughes DW6000 satellite modem stands out for its robust features, including support for high-speed Internet access, dynamic transmission adjustments through ACM, and user-friendly installation. Its versatility, combined with essential security measures, makes it a solid choice for anyone looking to establish reliable connectivity in hard-to-reach locations. Whether for home use or business applications, the DW6000 delivers the performance needed to keep users connected in an increasingly digital world.
