Work through these checks
Identify hardware and software family
Read Home terminal information privately. Gen2 IDU 3500563-0012 uses 8.9.x.y software; legacy uses 5.9.x.y. Gen2 lacks Wake on LAN and PPPoE. Do not apply legacy recovery settings to it.
What the result means: Hughes 9502 external antenna, H64151 Rev H (February 25, 2026). Integrated and ATEX/C1D2 versions have separate manuals.
Compare GPS and NET
GPS flashes while acquiring a position and becomes solid with a fix. NET flashes when registered and becomes solid with a data context. All three flashing can indicate pointing mode or a fault; capture the UI status rather than guessing.
What the result means: Distinguish registration from an active data context. Dark LEDs alone do not establish loss of power or service.
Confirm the local status
At the unchanged default address, http://192.168.128.100, read the Home status. Registered means attached without a context; Connected means a context is active. Connected LEDs can turn off after one minute. Record status and time without resetting telemetry.
What the result means: Preserve APN, security and telemetry settings. No reset, firmware guesses, remote SMS commands or power-button holds. Keep 1 m from the antenna front; grounding and installation need qualified service.
When to stop and get help
Preserve APN, security and telemetry settings. No reset, firmware guesses, remote SMS commands or power-button holds. Keep 1 m from the antenna front; grounding and installation need qualified service.
