XDS-PRO Satellite Receivers

2.5.8 Setting Up "IP Only Mode"

If it is desired to run the XDS-PRO receiver in IP Only Mode (i.e. – no RF used), it can be enabled in two
ways:
1. (for XDS-PRO receivers with a Front Panel) – Navigate to the IP Only Mode section on the Front
Panel (see Figure 1), and select "Enabled".
2. Using the TUNER command (see Section 6.2), DISABLE (all) tuners to automatically enable IP
Only mode.
Note: These are only how to get the receiver itself in IP Only Mode. It takes much more work to get the
entire system running in that mode, and is beyond the scope of this manual.
