Setup DiSEqC Switches

The DiSEqC switches that are supported are:

• Commited

• Uncommited

• Cascade
  Use 'src=' parameter for cascading switches
  src parameter should be: src >= 1 and <= 255
  Because src starts with 1 we should add 1 before sending it with the RTSP/HTTP request
  
  src bits: 7 - 6 - 5 4 3 2 - 1 0

  • bits 1 0 = for the 'normal' (commited) 4 way switches
    • so in total 4 inputs
  • bits 5 4 3 2 = for the DiSEqC 1.1 (uncommited) 16 way switches
    • so in total 16 inputs
  • bit 6 = in which order the DiSEqC command should be send
    • 0 means commited first then uncommited switch commands
    • 1 means uncommited first then commited switch commands
  • bit 7 = for sending tone burst (Monoblock LNBs) on the last command
    • 0 means do not send tone burst
    • 1 means send tone burst

• In the section 'DiSEqC Configuration' there are:

  • 'Number of Switch Inputs' -- specifies how many inputs (LNBs) this switch has. When set to 1, all inputs will use the same LNB.
  • 'Repeat DiSEqC' -- specifies how many times the DiSEqC command should be repeated
  • 'Delay before write' -- specifies the time to wait after 18V is set and before sending DiSEqC command
  • 'Delay after write' -- specifies the time to wait after sending DiSEqC command and before 13V is set back
  • When having difficulties getting a signal lock, try increasing
    'Delay before write' and 'Delay after write' to 100 or more
