the setting.
V1.1 incorporates DiSEqC component cascading. Therefore, the commands must be repeated. Select the minimal
necessary number of repetitions to prevent unnecessary DiSEqC commands being sent, which would slow the control.
LNB > Repeats allows you to select between 0, 1 (default), 2 or 3 repetitions. Press ENTER to confirm the setting.
DiSEqC1.1 control sequence with 1 repetition
As mentioned above, DiSEqC1.1 is capable of cascading. The control sequences must therefore be repeated a number
of times. DiSEqC components further back in the chain cannot receive the commands intended for them until the
earlier components in the chain have processed their commands.
DiSEqC1.0 (committed switches) and DiSEqC1.1 (uncommitted switches) commands are repeated for this reason. The
next picture shows a possible configuration in which 64 SAT IF levels are controlled.
The structure incorporates three hierarchy levels; two repetitions must therefore be set. The following settings must be
made to connect the SAT IF route marked in bold:
Relay 1 works with “uncommitted switches” and reacts to switches 1 and 2. The binary combination “10” is required to
connect the route to output 3, which corresponds to “2 hex” in hexadecimal.
