Follow these steps to set up a linear system for
one of the three available Tri-Sat modes (see
Figure 36).
If you wish to set up the system for
one or two satellites instead, skip this step and
proceed to page 20.
a. Connect a laptop PC to the Maintenance port
on the back of the ADCU. See Appendix B on
page 33 for connection details.
b. Ensure the antenna has a clear, unobstructed
view of the sky.
c. Apply power to the receiver(s), TV(s), ADCU,
and antenna. Wait one minute for system
startup.
d. Using Windows HyperTerminal (or
equivalent) or KVH Flash Update Wizard,
type HALT then press Enter.
e. Type DEBUGON then press Enter.
f. Type the appropriate command in Figure 36
for the desired Tri-Sat mode.
g. Type ZAP then press Enter. The antenna
restarts. Wait one minute for system startup.
h. If you have not installed a multiswitch, set up
the receiver(s) for the same satellites, and in
the same order, that you set them up in the
antenna:
This synchronization is necessary to enable
automatic satellite switching.
