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, you need to connect a PC to the maintenance port on
the front of the switchplate. To configure the antenna, you will
need a PC with Windows HyperTerminal installed, or if you are a
KVH-authorized dealer, download the KVH Flash Update
Wizard through the KVH Partner Partner Portal.
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 on your
PC (a 9-pin/25-pin connector adapter may be
needed for some PCs).
