Running a Check Switch Test on a DISH Network
or Bell TV Receiver
To operate with the TracVision system, you need to run a single Check
Switch test on every DISH Network or Bell TV receiver. To run a
Check Switch test, follow these steps:
NOTE: A video tutorial of this procedure is available in
(Internet access required).
1.
Make sure the vessel is docked in calm water in a blockage-free
area. The antenna must have an unobstructed view of the sky.
2.
Connect the receiver directly to the “Receiver” port on the back
of the TV-Hub. You must run the Check Switch test on each
receiver, one at a time, while it is connected directly to the
TV-Hub via a single RF coax cable.
3.
Turn on the TracVision system and connect to the web
interface (see
“Accessing the Web Interface” on page 14
).
Proceed through the steps of the Setup Wizard until it prompts
you to run the Check Switch test. If the Setup Wizard does not
display automatically, you can launch the Setup Wizard from
the web interface (go to Settings > General Settings).
4.
Connect a TV to the receiver so you can view the receiver’s
onscreen menu.
NOTE: The setup process may differ depending on service provider and
receiver model. Refer to your receiver owner’s manual for details.
5.
At the Program Remote to Receiver screen, press

on the receiver’s remote to begin the setup process.

The antenna must remain motionless throughout this procedure.

perform steps 11 and 12 of this procedure to run a Check Switch test.

while that screen is displayed. Otherwise, you will need to reset the receiver
and try again.
