Programming User-Defined Satellites - KVH Industries TracVision 6 Technical Manual

Choosing A or B will assign the antenna to acquire and track that
installed satellite. To complete the process, type ZAP<cr> to
restart the system. Be sure the IRD satellite configuration matches
your chosen TracVision 6 settings.

2.5.2 Programming User-defined Satellites

The TracVision 6 satellite library has two open slots that you may
use to program two user-defined satellites in case you want to
install/watch a satellite that is not in the KVH predefined list. To
configure a user-defined satellite, the system must first be in Idle
Mode (by typing HALT ) and then information about the satellite
must be provided, including:
• Satellite name
• Satellite position (longitude)
• Transponder information for each of the following
polarizations/frequencies:
- vertical high & vertical low
- horizontal high & horizontal low
• Transponder information includes:
- frequency
- symbol rate
- FEC code, and
- network ID (in hexidecimal format)
• Decoder type
This information can be obtained from your satellite service
provider or from sites on the Internet, such as www.satcodx.com.
For your reference, the satellite configuration information for the
predefined satellites has been provided in Appendix D.
