Connect to an Onboard Network
Connecting the TV-Hub to an onboard local area
network (LAN) is required if any of the following
conditions apply:
• One or more IP AutoSwitches are installed to
enable automatic satellite switching (Linear/
DISH Network/Bell TV only)
• Customer wants to access the TV-Hub's web
interface using any device connected to the
onboard network (see Figure 50)
NOTE: Connecting the TV-Hub to the onboard
network using its Wi-Fi rather than an Ethernet cable
is not recommended because you lose the ability to
connect directly to the TV-Hub's built-in Wi-Fi. You
will always need to connect via the network.
NOTE: The Reset button on the rear panel of the
TV-Hub (see Figure 51) reverts all network settings
back to their original factory settings.
Wired LAN Connection
NOTE: Before connecting via wired LAN, KVH
recommends that you set the TV-Hub to Static mode
and assign a static IP address (see Figure 52). Be sure
to choose a static IP address that is outside the router's
DHCP range (refer to the router's user manual for
details.).
a. To assign a static IP address, first connect
your laptop or mobile device to the TV-Hub
(refer to
"Access the Web Interface" on
page
30).
b. At the web interface, go to Settings >
Network Settings.
c. Connect the "Ethernet" port on the TV-Hub
to the onboard network (LAN) using the
supplied Ethernet cable.
IMPORTANT!
For systems with IP AutoSwitch(es), make
sure they are on the same local LAN segment
as the TV-Hub (see Appendix B on
For DIRECTV systems set up for automatic
satellite switching, make sure the receiver(s)
have IP addresses in the same subnet as the
TV-Hub (see Appendix C on
