2. Open the terminal emulation software and
establish the following settings:
• 9600 baud
• no parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 start bit
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control
3. Apply power to the TracVision 6 system and allow
the system to complete full initialization. Data
should be scrolling on the PC display to identify
any system problems detected. If no data is seen,
recheck your connections and the terminal
software setup.
Installing the Satellite of Choice
Once the data connection has been made between the PC and the
TracVision 6, you must assign the satellites you wish to have in the
satellite pair. On the maintenance screen, put the antenna in Idle
Mode by typing HALT , then enter the SATINSTALL command:
Command:
SATINSTALL,<sat_a_name>,<sat_b_name><cr>
Where:
<sat_a_name> = the name of your choice for
<sat_b_name> = the name of your choice for
Tables 2-5 and 2-6 list the assigned names for satellites that are in
the preprogrammed European and North American satellite
libraries. If you do not wish to assign a pair of satellites, enter
None as the name of Satellite B.
After you have assigned satellites as Satellites A and B, the final
step is to tell the antenna which of the two satellites it should
acquire and track. This step should be carried out the first time a
satellite is selected, allowing the system to carry out the initial
download of the channel guide. To do so, enter the Satellite
Selection parser command as follows:
Command:
@L,x<cr>
Where:
x = A or B (one of your selected satellites as
Satellite A
Satellite B
defined during the SATINSTALL process)
