Follow the steps below if you wish to check which satellites the

TracVision system is configured to track. An example is shown in

Figure 3-9.

“Connecting a PC to the Maintenance Port” on page 27.

Then type the following commands in the

HyperTerminal window.

2. Type HALT then press Enter.

3. Type SATINSTALL then press Enter.

4. The satellites currently configured for tracking are displayed. Type ZAP then press Enter to restart the antenna. Wait one minute for system startup.

NOTE: Displayed results for DISH 1000 Tri-Sat configurations display the individual satellites configured for tracking, not the “trisat” commands used during installation.

TIP: The order the satellites are reported in reflects their configured position

in the TracVision system. For example, in Figure 3-9, ECHO_119 is in the

“Satellite A” position, ECHO_110 is in the “Satellite B” position, and

ECHO_61 is in the “Satellite C” position.
