Installing Your Satellites
To install the satellites you want to track, follow the steps below.
1. Using your PC’s terminal emulation program, type
HALT ( indicates a carriage return/ENTER
key). This command puts the antenna in Idle mode.
2. Enter the SATINSTALL parser command:
Command: SATINSTALL,,
Where: = the name of your choice for
Satellite A
= the name of your choice for
Satellite B
Table 2-11 lists the assigned names for satellites
that are in the preprogrammed North American
and European satellite library. If you only want to
install and track one satellite, enter
NONE as the
name of Satellite B.
3. Once you’ve assigned satellites as Satellite A and
Satellite B, you need to tell the antenna which of
the two satellites it should initially acquire and
track. This step should be performed the first time
a satellite is selected, allowing the system to
download the channel guide. To do so, enter the
following parser command:
Command: @L,A or B
Where: A = track Satellite A
B = track Satellite B
4. Type ZAP to restart the antenna.
Examples:
To select Astra 2S and Hotbird for your satellite pair, and to track
Hotbird, you would enter the following commands:
SATINSTALL,ASTRA2S,HOTBIRD
@L,B
ZAP
To select and track the USER1 satellite, which you programmed
earlier into the library, you would enter the following commands:
SATINSTALL,USER1,NONE
@L,A
ZAP
