Follow these steps to add an IP AutoSwitch 
(KVH part no. 72-0634) to each DISH Network, 
Bell TV, or linear receiver you want to be able to 
control satellite selection in Automatic satellite 
switching mode.

NOTE: 

A receiver connected directly to the TV-Hub’s 

“Receiver” jack can control satellite selection without 
an IP AutoSwitch.

Inspect Parts

Follow these steps to inspect the kit contents.

a.

Unpack the box and ensure it contains each of 

the following items:
•   3 ft (1 m) Ethernet cable
•   2 ft (60 cm) RF cable
•   Adhesive-backed Velcro strip

b.

Carefully examine all of the supplied parts to 

ensure nothing was damaged in shipment.

c.

Locate the serial number on the bottom of the

IP AutoSwitch (see Figure 57) and record it 

on the Installation Checklist (supplied in the 

Welcome Kit) for future reference.

Choose a Mounting Location

Choose a mounting location that meets the 
following requirements:

• Dry, well-ventilated, and away from heat 

sources

• Provides a clear view of and easy access to 

the Master Select button (see Figure 57)

• Provides adequate clearance for running the 

cables and allows for service loops and strain 

relief

• Within 2 ft (60 cm) of the associated receiver 

in order to use the supplied cable

• Either a horizontal or vertical surface
