    How to connect AVATAR Dongle with receiver for DSTV channel

    1.0 Satellite signal and RS232 cable connection
    1.1 Install right LNB for data service satellite.
    ( for example:W3,W3A ,NSS6 or ASIA4,etc.)

    1.2 Connect data service satellite signal to Dongle’s LNB IN port

    1.3 Use RS232 cable(cross type, we have give it in the dongle parts ) to Connect Dongle RS232 port with the receiver RS232 port ,the receiver must support Y4/Twin protocol

    1.4 Plug in Power adaptor and connect to DC+12V port.

    2.0 LED display function:
    2.1 LOCK LED:
    Red color: works as a FTA receiver;
    Green color blinking: works as a data Dongle and try locking satellite data signal;
    (Must connect RS232 cable)
    Green color on(no blinking): works as a data Dongle and data signal locked.
    (Must connect dish and rs232 cable)

    2.2 STB LED:
    Red color off/On: RS-232 port Y4/Twin protocol communication fail;
    Red color blinking: RS-232 port Y4/Twin protocol communication succeed;

    3.0 Receiver Setting:
    SKS Dongle only works with the Receiver which support Y4/Twin protocol or similar
    RS232 communication protocol. Plz confirm your receiver was properly setting or activated
    to Y4/Twin protocol.
