3.2.3 Using a PC to Switch Between Satellites

If you’re unable to switch between satellites using the receiver

remote control, you can use a PC connected to the switchplate’s

maintenance port to select between Satellite A and Satellite B. The

procedure requires a PC with Windows HyperTerminal or

download the KVH Flash Update Wizard (available for free at

www.kvh.com/wizard).

To switch satellites using a PC, perform the following steps:

1. Connect one end of the PC data cable to the

maintenance port on the switchplate (see

Figure 3-5). Connect the other end to the serial

port on your PC (a 9-pin/25-pin connector adapter

may be needed for some PCs).

2. If you are using HyperTerminal, open

HyperTerminal and establish the following

settings:

• Bits per second: 9600

• Data bits: 8

•

Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: None

If you are using the

KVH Flash Update Wizard,

double-click the “KVH Flash Update Wizard”

shortcut on your computer’s desktop to start the

wizard. Then go to the “Select board to flash”

screen.

You do not need to flash the antenna to

configure the satellites; you will simply enter

commands in the “Command” box.
