KVH Industries TracVision R5 Owner's Manual page 48

KVH recognizes that some customers may not want to take
advantage of this convenient feature. In this case, it is possible to
disable Sleep Mode using a simple software command as follows:
1. Connect a laptop computer to the system using the
maintenance port and open the KVH Flash Update
Wizard or HyperTerminal, as described in
Section 2.5.1, "Installing Your Selected Satellites" on
page 2-16.
2. Turn on the antenna. When the limit switch test is
complete:
a. Type HALT then press Enter.
b. Type DEBUGON then press Enter.
c. Type SLEEPOFF then press Enter.
3. Turn the antenna off by pressing its power button.
4. Wait 30 seconds then press the antenna's power
button to turn the antenna back on. Sleep Mode is
now disabled. To reactivate Sleep Mode, follow this
same process, typing SLEEPON instead of
SLEEPOFF during Step c.
Using your TracVision R5 While Moving (TracVision R5 Only)
The antenna unit uses conical scanning to maintain peak signal
strength to the receiver and to update the satellite's position.
When conical scan tracking is active, the antenna moves
continually with a circular motion to sweep across the satellite's
peak signal. The signal strength is then fed back to the control
circuits to keep coming back to the direction of the strongest
signal.
