Although most installations do not require
choosing different satellites than those listed in
“Configure for the Selected Service” on page 13,
you can set up your TracVision R5SL/R4SL to
track a pair of alternate satellites.
If you need to set up the system to track different
satellites, you will need to connect a PC to the
antenna and use the KVH Flash Update Wizard
to install your alternate satellites. The
TracVision R5SL/R4SL system includes a
satellite library that contains the most commonly
used satellites. Follow the steps below to
configure the system to track satellites from the
satellite library.
NOTE:
The Flash Update Wizard is available to
KVH-authorized dealers through the KVH Partner
Portal.
a.
Connect a PC to your TracVision system, as
described in the Flash Update Wizard’s Help
file. You will enter PC commands into the
Flash Update Wizard’s “Antenna Comms”
window.
NOTE:
For more information on entering
antenna commands, refer to the Flash Update
Wizard’s Help file.
b.
Type
HALT
then press Enter.
c.
Choose your desired satellites from the
satellite library (see Figure B-1).
d.
Type the following command then press
Enter. Be sure to use your selected satellite’s
Install Names.
SATINSTALL,<SAT_A_NAME>,
<SAT_B_NAME>
NOTE:
Select the satellite you want to track first
as “SAT_A”. Once the procedure is complete, the
TracVision R5SL/R4SL system will begin
tracking that satellite.
e.
Type
ZAP
then press Enter to restart the
antenna. Wait two minutes for system
startup.
