2.5.2 Programming User-defined Satellites
The TracVision L3/S3 satellite library has two open slots that you
may use to program two user-defined satellites in case you want
to install/watch a satellite that is not in the KVH predefined list.
To configure a user satellite, the system must first be in Idle
Mode (by typing
HALT ) and then information about the satellite
must be provided, including:
• Satellite name
• Satellite position (longitude)
• Transponder information for each of the following
polarizations/frequencies:
- vertical high & vertical low
- horizontal high & horizontal low
or
- right
- left
• Transponder information includes:
- frequency
- symbol rate
- FEC code, and
- network ID (in hexidecimal format)
• Decoder type
This information can be obtained from your satellite service
provider or from sites on the Internet, such as
