Congratulations! You have chosen the KVH TracNet
™
100
Mobile Internet Receiver, your gateway to Microsoft’s
MSN
®
TV service and the Internet when you’re on the go.
This guide provides basic setup instructions to get you up
and running in just a few minutes.
For detailed installation, setup, and troubleshooting
information, refer to the
TracNet 100 User’s Guide. For
complete instructions on using the MSN TV service, refer
to the
MSN TV User Guide.
The EVDO card provides the cellular link to Verizon’s
broadband network. Ensure power is
not
connected
to the TracNet 100 receiver. Then insert the EVDO
card into the receiver’s PC card slot. The metal
bracket beneath the slot will help protect the card.
The external antenna and booster amplify the cell
signal to improve performance. Four different
antenna kits are available. Refer to Section 2.3 of
the
User’s Guide for installation details for your
particular model.
Antenna installation tips:
•
Mount the antenna in the highest possible
location, away from any obstructions or other
antennas.
•
Seal the cable access hole with silicone sealant
or equivalent (if applicable).
1. Pull back the rubber cover on the back of the
EVDO card to access the antenna ports. Plug
the cell adapter cable into the right-hand port.
2. Connect the other end of the cell adapter cable
to the booster’s “Cell Phone” jack.
3. Connect the antenna cable from the external
antenna to the booster’s “Antenna” jack.
4. Connect the small plug end of the power “Y”
cable to the booster’s “12 VDC” jack. Later, you
will connect the other ends of the power cable
to the receiver and vehicle/vessel power.
5. Set the booster’s On/Off switch to “On.”
The MSN TV wireless keyboard and remote control
need to point at the receiver’s IR eye to send
commands. The IR extender allows you to mount
the eye remotely and hide the receiver in a cabinet.
1. Plug the IR extender cable into the receiver’s
“IR Extender Input” jack.
2. Position the IR extender’s eye in a location
within direct line-of-sight to the wireless
devices.
TracNet 100 comes with standard audio/video
cables.
(If your TV has an S-Video or VGA jack, you
may use those jacks on the receiver instead.)
1. Connect the red and white cables from the
receiver’s “Audio R” and “Audio L” jacks to your
TV’s audio inputs.
2. Connect the yellow cable from the receiver’s
“Video” jack to your TV’s video input.
The WiFi antenna allows you to connect a laptop
computer wirelessly to the TracNet 100.
1. Attach the WiFi antenna to the receiver’s “Wi-Fi
Antenna” jack. Screw down the base to secure.
2. Adjust the antenna upward for best reception.
The TracNet 100 receiver requires a 12 volts DC
power input supporting 25 watts.
1. Connect the large plug end of the power “Y”
cable to the receiver’s “Power” jack.
The small
plug end should be connected to the booster.
2. Connect the power cable’s wires to a dedicated
12 VDC circuit. Connect the black negative wire
to ground, and connect the red positive wire to
+12 VDC.
If installing on a car, connect the
black wire to a pillar ground screw and the red
wire to switched (accessory) power.
