Re: Can't Connect to IP camera and weather station
You would have to configure it on the camera itself, I think. If you set the camera to dynamic addressing and let the HughesNet modem set the preferred address by MAC, that would work, but probably not as reliably as a static IP. You may need PC software or an Android app to configure the camera itself, whether to change the static IP address or set it to dynamic addressing. I am not familiar with that brand, that is usually how it is done.9.2KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Can't Connect to IP camera and weather station
This may be a stupid question, but are the static IPs in the same address range? My HT2000 has local addresses in the 192.168.42.xxx range, but as an example, say I had a device with the static IP address of 192.168.0.101, the modem will not see it. Maybe a sniffer program would see it, but for the device to be seen by the modem, it would have to be set to 192.168.42.101. Could that be the issue? I assume you altered the IP addresses when you switched from DSL to Hughes, but it may be worth checking. Dave9.2KViews1like7CommentsHN9000 - Code 30 - Too Many Bad Slots
Hello. For the last few days, I have been getting "Code 30 - Too Many Bad Slots" after the modem starts up. It will go into the "Code 25 - Terminal is Fully Operational" first, but there will be no connection, through a browser or pings. After a few minutes, it will change to the Code 30. During the daytime, it will usuallyreconnect after several minutes, going to code 25 andstaying there. I will then haveInternet all day. After dark, however, if the modem is off and I start it back up (I am off-grid, and shut it off to save power) it will go into a Code 30 and stay there. There will not be a connection until the next morning typically. This happened about a month ago for a few days, then went away. Now it is happening again. Saturday night (May 16) and last night (May 18) there was noconnection at all. Monday night, it finally re-established just after midnight, I think. When the system was first installed, like 5 years ago, the Receive SignalStrength was 160 to 180 all the time. Now it hovers between 98and 114 typically, and I havenoticed that whentheconnection problem occurs,signalstrength is between 90 and 95.(Though during storms, I have seen it as low as 70 and still had a connection.) All the wires seem to be in good shape, and it works fine in thedaytime forthemost part. Could the radio be failing? Or does the "Too Many Bad Slots" refer tocommunication problems with the old Spaceway? If repairs are necessary, I think it would probably be better to upgrade to the Gen 5 system. It is a long, long way to roll a truck out here. I am hoping it is just a temporary glitch though. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks CORROSIVE, you rock... 40 watts is not bad at all, and clear skies are the norm here in the desert. My recevie strength is usally about a 170-180 on the hn9000, so it should do good here. Now just have to wait until payday to buy the equiment. Have fun with the HT2000W testing, I look forward to that review. Dave15KViews0likes0CommentsGen5 HT2000W Power Usage
In another thread, CORROSIVE (Thanks!) posted a link to HT2000W installer's guide, and it mentions the modem's power usage is rated at 75 watts. Does anyone happen to know what effect, if any, turning the WiFi off will have on the power draw? I have the HN9000 on the Spaceway satellite and would love to upgrade to Gen 5, but I am on solar, off-grid, and the power supply for the HN9000 is rated at 46 watts. I will probably upgrade anyway, but I am curious about the pwoer usage, as I may have to add some more batteries to my system. 30 watts more does not sound like a whole lot, but on my setup it makes a difference. Thanks for any info, i know it is a strech since no one is using these yet, but i was hoping maybe one of the reps may have some info. Thanks, DaveSolved15KViews0likes9Comments
