Plan the Installation2
Follow the steps below to plan the SmartSwitch installation.
Select an Installation LocationWhen selecting an installation location, consider the following:

• Choose a belowdecks installation location that is dry, well-ventilated, and away from any heat sources or salt spray.

• The SmartSwitch must be installed within 3 feet (1 m) of the ACU A (the TracVision HD11 Antenna Control Unit (ACU) connected to Antenna A) in order to use the supplied PC data cable. However, longer cabling may be used – contact KVH for details.

Choose a Mounting OptionSelect one of the following SmartSwitch mounting options.

• You can mount the SmartSwitch in a standard 19" (48.26 cm) equipment rack, either separately or together with an ACU (see Figure 3). The SmartSwitch is 1.5U in height.

• Alternatively, you can mount the SmartSwitch to a horizontal surface; the horizontal surface mounting brackets can attach to either the top or bottom of the SmartSwitch (see Figure 3).

Mount the SmartSwitch3
Follow the steps below to mount the SmartSwitch using the desired mounting option.
Rack Mountinga. Attach the strain-relief bracket to the

SmartSwitch, as shown in Figure 4. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, secure the bracket in place using four #6-32 screws and #6 washers (supplied in the kitpack).

b. Secure the SmartSwitch to the rack using four M6 screws and washers (see Figure 5).

Horizontal Mountinga. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the

six screws securing the rack mounting brackets to the SmartSwitch (see Figure 6).

b. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, attach the two horizontal mounting brackets to the sides of the SmartSwitch using four supplied #6-32 screws and #6 washers (see Figure 7). You can attach the brackets to either the top or bottom of the SmartSwitch, depending on your desired mounting location.

c. If you are mounting the SmartSwitch to the underside of a shelf, attach the strain-relief bracket, as shown in Figure 4. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, secure the bracket in place using four #6-32 screws and #6 washers (supplied in the kitpack).

d. Using fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface, secure the SmartSwitch to the mounting surface using the four mounting bracket holes.

Joint ACU/SmartSwitch Rack Mounting a. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the
six screws securing the rack mounting brackets to the SmartSwitch (see Figure 6 on page 5).

b. Repeat Step a. to remove the six screws securing the rack mounting brackets to the ACU.

c. Attach the joint rack mounting brackets to the ACU and SmartSwitch, as shown in Figure 8. Secure the brackets in place using twelve #6-32 screws and washers (supplied in the kitpacks).

d. Attach the strain-relief bracket and retaining straps, as shown in Figure 8. Secure them in place using eight #6-32 screws and #6 washers (supplied in the kitpacks).

NOTE: Only the SmartSwitch strain-relief bracket must be installed. The ACU does not require a strain-relief bracket when jointly mounted with the SmartSwitch.

e. Secure the joint assembly to the rack using four M6 screws and washers.

Wire the SmartSwitch4
Wiring instructions vary according to the customer’s specific system configuration and hardware. Refer to the wiring diagrams provided in Appendix A on page 9 for complete wiring instructions.
NOTE: To help ensure proper cable connections, be sure to apply the cable labels (supplied in the kitpack) to the cables that will connect the SmartSwitch to other system components.

Wiring SWM and Non-SWM Hardware

Only DIRECTV® programming in North America supports SWM-compatible receivers and DVRs (see Figure 10). All linear receivers/DVRs and other circular receivers/DVRs are not SWM-compatible.

NOTE: Additional SWM-compatible receivers/DVRs might become available at any time. If your receiver or DVR model is not listed here, check its manual to see if it is SWM-compatible.

Launch the Setup Wizard (Upgrades Only)5
If you are upgrading the TracVision HD11 system to include a SmartSwitch, follow the steps below to launch the Setup Wizard and reconfigure system settings. If you are replacing a previously installed SmartSwitch, the procedure is complete (your system is already configured).
a. Press the power button on the front of the ACU to apply power to the TracVision system. Then wait 1 minute for system startup.

b. Open the web browser on a PC connected to the same network. Then type the ACU’s serial number into the browser’s address bar, as shown below:

http://hd11-<ACU serial number>.local

NOTE: For example, if the serial number was 123456789, you would enter the following into the browser’s address bar: http://hd11-123456789.local

TIP: The ACU serial number location is shown in Figure 12.

c. Log into the web interface:

Username: adminPassword: password

d. Select Settings/General Settings. Then select the “Launch” Button to launch the Setup Wizard (see Figure 13).
