Appendix D Echostar Ird Commissioning Procedure - KVH Industries 5616 Owner's Manual

Appendix D
EchoStar IRD Commissioning
Procedure
If you have purchased a DISH Network system, there is a chance
that your EchoStar IRD will fail to acquire the satellite when you
first activate it. This has been known to happen in IRDs that have
not been commissioned within several months of their
manufacture. The following process is a manual method of
acquiring the satellite for the first time so that the IRD can
download the most up-to-date satellite and programming data,
allowing it to automatically acquire the satellite from then on.
Please refer to your EchoStar IRD user manual for complete
instructions on the IRD, the remote control, and the command
screens.
