Connecting a Laptop to the Antenna

To program your user-defined satellite(s), you first need to connect a
Windows
Windows HyperTerminal.
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 antenna.
2. Using a PC serial data cable, connect your laptop to the
DB9 Maintenance port on the back of the interface box.
NOTE: If your computer does not have a DB9 serial COM port, you
can use the USB-to-RS232 adapter manufactured by IOGear
(IOGear part number GUC232A). As an alternative, you can also
use the adapter manufactured by Belkin (Belkin part number F5U109
or F5U409).
