Wire the MCP and Receivers
10
If you are installing a linear system (with the
exception of Sky Mexico), follow these steps to
connect the switchplate to the MCP and the
antenna to the receiver(s).
a. Connect the main control cable (DB9-male to
DB9-male) from the "Maintenance" port on
the front of the switchplate to the "Antenna
Unit" connector on the MCP (see Figure 23).
b. Connect the RF control cable (RJ22 to
DB9-female) from the RJ22 jack on the back of
the switchplate to the "RF Port" connector on
the MCP.
IMPORTANT!
If the antenna is equipped with a linear quad
LNB, and you wish to connect three or more
receivers to the antenna, see Appendix A on
page 31.
c. If you are connecting two receivers to the
TracVision system, decide which receiver
will be the primary receiver. The primary
receiver controls satellite selection.
NOTE: The secondary receiver will be able to select
channels carried on the satellite that is currently
selected by the primary receiver.
d. Connect the RF1 cable from the antenna to
the "Satellite In" connector on the primary
receiver.
e. If you are connecting two receivers, connect
the RF2 cable from the antenna to the
"Satellite In" connector on the secondary
receiver.
IMPORTANT!
Be sure all receivers are grounded. If the
receiver has a 2-prong power plug, run a
ground wire from the receiver's chassis to a
suitable ground point. If a potential exists
between AC and DC grounds, connect the
wire to the switchplate's DC return instead.
f. Connect the receiver(s) to the customer's
television(s). Follow the instructions in the
receiver's manual
