Connect a PC to the Main Flash Port
To program your user-defined satellite(s), you first need to connect a
PC with Windows HyperTerminal installed.
TIP: If you are a KVH-authorized technician, you can use the KVH Flash
Update Wizard instead of HyperTerminal. Enter commands in the wizard's
"Antenna Comms" window. You do not need to flash the antenna to enter
commands.
1. Turn Off the TracVision system.
2. Connect one end of the supplied flash adapter cable to
the main flash port on the MCP. Connect the other end
of the data cable to the serial port on your PC.

use the following USB-to-RS232 adapters: IO Gear Part #
