BE

Business Edition, pronounced as two letters. Can refer to the Hughes Direcway service used by most Datastorm owners, but is often used to describe the Direcway software that is running on computer connected to DW4000 modems. BE software is not used with the DW4020, DW6000 or HN7000 modems.

When running, the BE software (a program called dpcnav.exe) will display a "BE" icon in the system "tray" at the lower right of a Windows screen. On a regular, non-business Direcway service the same program is running but will display "DW" in the icon.

When troubleshooting problems you may be asked to right-click the BE icon in order to see the status, or get the system information from the About menu item.
