2.4 Commissioning the IRD
Before it can be used, your IRD must be commissioned and/or
programmed.
Please refer to the user manual that accompanied
your IRD for instructions on properly commissioning the
system.
Programming European IRDs
Before the TracVision 4 system can be used in Europe, the IRD
must be programmed to receive signals from the selected DVB
satellite services. Programming is conducted using menu
selections displayed on the TV screen. Please refer to the IRD
user manual for specific instructions.
Table 2-4 provides some key data for use when programming
the IRD.
Configuration Item Setting
Antenna Alternative 1 DiSEqC 1
Antenna Alternative 2 DiSEqC 2
LNB Frequency Universal
It is also important that the IRD’s settings for Antenna
Alternatives 1 and 2 match the installed satellite settings as
follows:
• Antenna Alternative 1 = Satellite A
• Antenna Alternative 2 = Satellite B
Section 2.5, “Selecting the Active Satellite,” provides details on the
satellite installation process.
Programming DSS Plus IRDs
If you are using multiple DSS Plus IRDs and intend to shift from
one satellite to another, only one of the IRDs can be configured as
a two-satellite receiver. All other IRDs must be configured as one-
satellite receivers. The two-satellite IRD will determine which
satellite the antenna is tracking while the other receivers can
watch any channels available via that satellite. Refer to your IRD
user manual for complete details on this process.

“Selecting the Active Satellite.”
