Change the COM Port Number to an unused COM port below COM17.
Configure the port number in the file "SatTV.ini" located in the default directory
C:\Program\Satellite TV or the directory chosen for the installation to correspond to
the USB-port allocated to the USB driver. See figure 5 below:

Figure 5: SatTV.ini file
In addition to the COM port number, the configuration file "SatTV.ini" contains a setting
called UserMode. When set to "0" some calibration features are disabled. It is
recommended that UserMode is set to "0" after satellite TV antenna installation.
Save the ini-file with the new setting.
Switch on the SAILOR Satellite TV Antenna Control Unit (ACU) and use the keys on
the front to set the ACU in PC Override mode. This is done by pressing OK button to
enter the Main Menu, scroll down and select Service Menu and then select PC
Override. PC Override simply connects the USB interface on the ACU to the RS-422
connection to the ADU.
