 TS Input - frequency parameters for acquiring and locking on to an RF signal, or 
receiving an ASI input  
 IP - parameters for setting up the Ethernet ports 
 Services - audio video, captions, and VBI 
 CI - parameters to decrypt programming available from service provider 
programmers via CAM Smart Cards 
 Outputs - alarm relays, cue tone/cue trigger setup, parameters for setting up the 
transport stream out, which includes DPM  
 CA - conditional access 
 Alarms/Warnings - enables alarms/warnings traps and relays 
 Noise Cutoff - muting thresholds 
The Setup menu has the following structure:

Menu Item Description Parameters 
CA Ctl Sets how the conditional access will 
attempt to descramble the scrambled 
programs. The behavior of this setting 
is different between PowerVu streams 
and those that require a CAM. 
For PowerVu streams: 
Std - In standard mode, if a 
program is not authorized, even if 
some services are not scrambled, 
the whole program will not be 
authorized. 
Open - In open mode, if a program 
is not authorized, any services in 
the program that are not 
scrambled will still be available. 
For Non-PowerVu (CAM) streams: 
Std - In standard mode, if a 
program’s CA system is not 
supported by the CAM, the 
channel is not authorized. 
Open - In open mode, all the 
program’s CA systems are 
validated by the CAM. The 
channel is always authorized. 
Select This sets the parameters the receiver 
uses for signal switching. 
RF Map or Preset. RF Map uses the 
orbital positioning settings to find 
and lock onto a signal, while it can 
be ignored for Preset. 
  
RF1, RF2, RF3, RF4 (RFx) Input 
Menu Item Description Parameters 
RFx Active (RF1, 
RF2, RF3, RF4) 
Select the input to be active. 
Note: Setting a new input to be active will 
deactivate the currently active input. 
Act or No 
Tune Mode Select which tables are required for the service 
list creation and signal acquisition.  
Note: When editing the tuning, the device is in 
a transient state while acquiring tuning 
information and channel lists, etc. The receiver 
reverts to the previous set of tuning 
settings/information and channels until these 
changes are either saved or abandoned. 
Basic - Requires NIT to be 
present. 
Auto - Uses all the 
available service list tables 
and it will acquire if any 
table is present. 
Custom - Uses the Custom 
Tuning parameters, 
specified by the user. 
The default is Basic.

Select Sets the method used by the RF tuner to 
determine which input to use when switching 
transports.  
UserCfg - User 
configuration will only use 
the active RF input. 
SW Map - Software map 
uses the orbital position 
settings from each input 
and map it to those in the 
NIT. 
LO1 (GHz) Sets the lower oscillator frequency, in GHz, of 
the LNB. In a single band oscillator, set its 
frequency, in GHz. 
0.0 to 15.0 GHz. Must be 
lower than the value for 
LO2.  
LO2 (GHz) Sets the higher oscillator frequency, in GHz, of 
the LNB. In a single band oscillator, set this 
value to 0.0. 
0.0 to 15.0 GHz. Must be 
higher than the value for 
LO1.

Menu Item Description Parameters 
Crossover (GHz) This is the crossover frequency, which is an 
internal threshold frequency used for selecting 
the LO1 or LO2 frequency, depending on the 
current Downlink frequency settings. This 
option is only used in dual-band LNB 
applications.  
0.0 to 15.0 GHz. In single-
band LNB applications, set 
this value to 0.0. 
Satellite This is the name of the satellite currently 
selected. Choose the satellite you want to use 
to receive the signal from the list of satellites 
available. When you select a satellite, the 
orbital position (OrbPos) is displayed. This is 
important for automatic switching from one RF 
input to another in the event of loss of the 
signal, allowing the receiver to acquire an 
alternate signal. 
When the satellite is not 
listed, enter the known 
orbital position (OrbPos) 
of the satellite you want to 
use to receive the signal. 
OrbPos This is the location in orbit of the satellite 
currently being used. The satellite position (in 
degrees) in combination with the direction 
(either E (East) or W (West)) denotes the 
satellite position the dish connected to the 
current RF Input should point. This is used 
when the satellite is not available in the look-
up menu list.  
For manual configuration, simply enter the 
location of the satellite using the numerical 
keypad. The receiver will not recognize the 
satellite name and identify it as Unknown. This 
setting is required to resolve any ambiguity 
between RF inputs during automatic disaster 
recovery. 
Degrees 
E/W Denotes the satellite position the dish 
connected to the current RF Input should 
point. This is used when the satellite is not 
available in the look-up menu list. 
E, W or NA 
Pol Marks the polarity of the signal connected to 
this RF input. 
H (horizontal), Vert 
(vertical), A (Auto). Auto 
is only applicable when 
LNB Power is set to H-NIT 
or V-NIT. 
Validate Orbital 
Position 
This option allows you to configure and 
validate the RF inputs to match those expected 
by the network. The receiver will check to see 
if all the frequencies in the Network 
Information Table (NIT) can be tuned to. 
Yes or No
