Antenna Settings
Advanced Settings
The following advanced settings enhance the performance of the
TracVision antenna system:
)
• Band/Polarization Control (see
• Sidelobe Mode (see
)
Although the factory default settings work well in most cases, you can
change any of them at the web interface (go to Settings > Advanced
Settings).
Sleep Mode
When you are moving, the antenna’s motors need to run continuously
to keep the antenna pointed at the satellite and locked onto the peak
signal. However, if you are stationary, the motors don’t need to run
since the antenna’s orientation to the satellite doesn’t change. In these
stationary conditions, Sleep mode locks the antenna in place and shuts
down the motors to conserve power and silence the antenna.
KVH recommends that you keep Sleep mode set to
On
(default
setting).
Band/Polarization Control
Keep Band/Polarization Control set to
Master Receiver
(default
setting). In this mode, the satellite signal output of the TV-Hub’s
“Receiver” port is the polarization and band that is currently selected
by the master receiver.
The
TV-Hub
setting is used for linear configurations that include a
multiswitch (TracVision TV5 and TV6 models only). In that mode, the
TV-Hub ignores the voltage/tone from the master receiver and
outputs whichever polarization/band corresponds to the voltage/
tone that is present on the coax cable connected to its “Receiver” port.
Sidelobe Mode
This mode only applies to the TracVision TV6 model.
