2.5.2 Programming User-defined Satellites
The TracVision C3 satellite library has two open slots that you
may use to program two user-defined satellites in case you want
to install/watch a satellite that is not in the KVH predefined list.
To configure a user satellite, the system must first be in Idle
Mode (by typing HALT) and then information about the satellite
must be provided, including:
•Satellite name
•Satellite position (longitude)
•Transponder information for each of the following
polarizations/frequencies:
-vertical high & vertical low
-horizontal high & horizontal low
or
-right
-left
•Transponder information includes:
-frequency
-symbol rate
-FEC code, and
-network ID (in hexidecimal format)
•Decoder type
This information can be obtained from your satellite service
provider or from sites on the Internet, such as www.satcodx.com.
