KVH Industries TracVision R4 - Manual (Page 27)

The satellites listed in TracVision R5/R4 satellite library will be
sufficient for most users. However, if you wish to install one or
two user-defined satellites, proceed to Section 2.5.2, “Programming
User-defined Satellites.” After configuring the user-defined
satellites, return to the satellite installation process in
Section 2.5.1, “Installing Your Selected Satellites.”
2.5.1 Installing Your Selected Satellites
When you first connect to the system, it is preprogrammed with
one of the following default satellite assignments:
• Europe: Astra 1 (Sat. A) and Hotbird (Sat. B)
• N. America (US DIRECTV): DSS_101 (Sat. A)
and DSS_119 (Sat. B)
• N. America (US DISH Network/ExpressVu):
Echo_119 (Sat. A) and Expressvu (Sat. B)
Should you wish to track a different satellite (either from the
satellite library or a user-defined satellite), you must instruct the
antenna which satellites will be in the active satellite pair.
Connecting to the TracVision R5/R4 Maintenance Port
To do so, it is necessary to connect a PC to the maintenance port
on the front of the switchplate. To configure the antenna, you will
need to use the KVH Flash Update Wizard or Windows
HyperTerminal. Use the settings appropriate to your application.
(You can download the KVH Flash Update Wizard at
www.kvh.com/wizard)
1. Connect one end of the PC data cable to the DB9
maintenance port connector on the switchplate.
Connect the other end to the serial port to your PC
(a 9-pin/25-pin connector adapter may be needed
for some PCs).
