Wiring to an IRD with a DB15 Connector
Should the IRD only be equipped with a DB15 connector,
contact KVH for an adapter or follow the alternate wiring
directions provided in
Appendix C
.
DISH Network
Unlike the DIRECTV IRDs, the EchoStar IRD used with
the DISH Network is not equipped with a DB9 connector.
As a result, you will need to purchase an EchoStar Adapter
(KVH Part Number 02-0899).
The rear of the DISH Network IRD has a port labeled “High
Speed Data Port.”
1. Remove the protective metal plate to expose the
High Speed Data Port. (Save the screws and
plate in the IRD packing material in case the
unit must be returned for repairs.)
2. Install the KVH EchoStar Adapter as shown in
Figure 2-14. Secure the Adapter to the IRD using
the captive screws in the Adapter.
3. Connect the DB9 connector on the data cable to
the EchoStar Adapter DB9.
Commissioning the IRD
Please refer to the user manual that accompanied your IRD for
instructions on properly commissioning the system.

adapter, make certain that the IRD
is not plugged into an AC outlet.
