Entering User-defined Satellite Data

Once the link between the PC and the TracVision C3 is
established as described in

regarding the user-defined satellite. To do so, enter the
SATCONFIG parser command via PC as follows:

Command:

SATCONFIG,USERX,YYY,Z,D,L

( indicates a carriage return/ENTER key)

Where:

X = 1 or 2 (satellite alternative)

YYY = longitude (0-180)

Z = E (East) or W (West)

D = decoding type (0 = test, 1 = DSS-A,

2 = DSS-B, 3 = DVB)

L = LNB polarization (C = circular, L = linear)

Function:

configures one of the user-configurable satellites

with the longitude provided

Response:

if valid entry, echoes the input data
if invalid entry, returns error message

After entering the SATCONFIG command, you must turn on the
DEBUG mode by typing

@DEBUGON

. Following the entry of

the SATCONFIG and DEBUGON commands, enter the satellite
transponder information via PC as follows:

Command:

@SATCONFIG,X,N,F,S,C,ID,P,B,D

Where:

@SATCONFIG = directs data to the RF Board

X = satellite location A or B

N = satellite table # (98 & 99 are slots for user-

configured satellites)

F = frequency in MHz (either 00000 or a range from

10700 - 12700)

S = the satellite transponder symbol rate in

Mbit/second (01000 - 29999)

C = the FEC code (e.g., 12, 23, 34, 56, 67, 78)

ID = the satellite network ID in hexidecimal format

(0x####)

P = the LNB polarization (v = vertical,

h = horizontal, r = right, l = left)

B = the LNB down conversion frequency (l = low,

h = high, u = USA)

D = decoding type (0 = test, 1 = DSS-A,

2 = DSS-B, 3 = DVB)

2-20
