DISH Network
Unlike the DIRECTV IRDs, the EchoStar IRD used with
the DISH Network is not equipped with a DB9 connector.
As a result, you will need to purchase an EchoStar Adapter
(KVH Part Number 02-0899).
The rear of the DISH Network IRD has a port labeled “High
Speed Data Port.”
1. Remove the protective metal plate to expose the
High Speed Data Port. (Save the screws and plate
in the IRD packing material in case the unit must
be returned for repairs.)
2. Install the KVH EchoStar Adapter as shown in
Figure 2-14. Secure the Adapter to the IRD using
the captive screws in the Adapter.
3. Connect the DB9 connector on the data cable to
the EchoStar Adapter DB9.
Commissioning the IRD
Please refer to the user manual that accompanied your IRD for
instructions on properly commissioning the system.
EchoStar Commissioning Issues
EchoStar IRDs that have not been commissioned within several
months of manufacture require additional steps to complete the
process. Refer to
Appendix D
for complete details.
