Using ZvSTB Control
for Set Top Boxes
Configuring the H25 DirecTV receiver
You must configure every DirecTV box with a static IP
address to ensure reliable access to the ZeeVee device.
1. Connect the H25 DirecTV receiver to a television
and power on both the receiver and the television.
Ensure the H25 is connected to a satellite feed.
2. Navigate through the settings to the Network
Configuration Page and take the following steps:
a. Assign a unique IP address to the H25 unit. Note
the IP address for easy reference later.
b. Set a default gateway
c. Set a DNS server (optional)
3. Navigate to the Whole-Home page and take the
following steps:
a. Set External Access to Allow
b. Set Current Program to Allow
4. Navigate to the Video Settings Page and set allowed
resolutions according ZeeVee product specifications:
• If connected to an HDb 2500 unit, set 720p
• If connected to an HDb 2600 unit, set 1080i
(or 720p)
Note: Setting the allowed resolutions is important for the
HDb2500 units to ensure that the STB does not auto select
1080i (beyond the supported resolution of the HDb2500).
Setting the allowed resolutions for the HDb2600 products is
optional, as the output will follow the input.
