Setting Up A Directv Receiver For Automatic Switching - KVH Industries RV1 User Manual

H20 Model
This receiver is not network-ready. It is only designed to receive a
satellite TV signal via its "Satellite In" port. Since both the satellite TV
signal and network communications data are present on the coax
cables, a band stop filter (KVH part no. 19-0868) is required to block
the network data to prevent potential damage to the receiver. Since the
H20 cannot communicate over the network, it cannot control satellite
selection.
Important!
Be sure to connect all band stop filters before connecting the coax
cables.

Setting Up a DIRECTV Receiver for Automatic Switching

During system installation, your SWM-compatible receivers should
have been set up for you. (See the Installation Guide for details.) If you
wish to add a new SWM-compatible receiver, follow these steps:
1. Set the receiver's Dish Type to 3-LNB and Switch Type to
SWM. See
page 39
2. Set up the receiver to allow external device access. See
"Allowing External Access on a DIRECTV Receiver" on
page 38
3. Assign a unique static IP address to the new receiver. See
"Configuring DIRECTV Receivers for Automatic Switching"
on page 34
4. Add the new receiver to the Autoswitch page of the web
interface. Enter the receiver's static IP address and assign it a
friendly name (e.g., "Master Bedroom").
NOTE: If the TV-Hub is unable to communicate with the receiver, try
resetting the receiver (press its red reset button or unplug it, wait 15 seconds,
then plug it back in and turn it on).
