1. บทนำและเรื่องอื่นๆview
The Dish Pro Hybrid 42 (DPH42) Switch is a critical component for distributing satellite signals within a DISH network system. It is designed to connect up to four satellite feeds from a DISH Pro (DP) or DISH Pro Plus (DPP) LNBF to a variety of compatible receivers. This system facilitates signal distribution to DISH receivers such as Hopper, Joey, Wally, and ViP models. It is important to note that this switch is not compatible with legacy receivers.
2. คุณสมบัติและความเข้ากันได้ของผลิตภัณฑ์
The DPH42 Switch offers robust functionality for various satellite television setups:
- Supports multiple Hopper, Joey, Wally, and ViP receivers, including combinations of these receiver types.
- Suitable for installations in diverse geographical locations, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and for international customers.
- Designed for systems requiring multiple satellite dishes.
- Ideal for Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU) customers.
- Requires Dish Pro or Dish Pro Plus LNBFs for operation. This switch is not compatible with Hybrid LNBFs.
3. ข้อกำหนดในการติดตั้ง
Before beginning installation, ensure you have the following components and conditions met:
- Power Inserter: The DPH42 Power Inserter must be connected to port 1 of the switch to provide necessary power.
- RG-6 Cable: Use RG-6 coaxial cable rated for frequencies between 950–3000 MHz.
- Weather Caps: Ensure all unused ports on the switch are sealed with weather caps. These caps have a flat top and are typically pre-installed on the switch. Do not use terminators in place of weather caps.
- Hopper Receiver Hub: A Solo Hub or Duo Hub is required for all Hopper receivers. Solo Node or Duo Node devices are not compatible with this setup.

- ระบุส่วนประกอบ: Unpack the DPH42 Switch, Power Inserter, and its power supply. Familiarize yourself with the input and output ports on each device.
- Mount the DPH42 Switch: Choose a suitable location for the DPH42 Switch. While the switch itself is weather-resistant, ensure it is mounted securely and, if possible, in a location that allows for adequate grounding.
- Connect LNBFs to DPH42 Switch: Connect the coaxial cables from your Dish Pro or Dish Pro Plus LNBFs to the designated input ports on the DPH42 Switch. Ensure connections are finger-tight and then snug with a wrench.
- Connect Power Inserter: Connect one end of an RG-6 coaxial cable to the port labeled 'To Switch Input 1 port' on the Power Inserter. Connect the other end of this cable to 'Receiver Satellite In 1' port on the DPH42 Switch.
- เชื่อมต่อตัวรับสัญญาณ: Connect coaxial cables from the output ports of the DPH42 Switch to your Hopper, Joey, Wally, or ViP receivers. If using a Hopper receiver, ensure it is connected via a Solo Hub or Duo Hub.
- เชื่อมต่อพาวเวอร์ซัพพลาย: Plug the power supply into the Power Inserter, then plug the power supply into a standard electrical outlet. The Power Inserter should be located indoors or in a protected environment with adequate ventilation, as it can generate heat.
- การต่อลงดิน: Ensure the DPH42 Switch is properly grounded according to local electrical codes to protect against lightning and static discharge.
- ตรวจสอบการเชื่อมต่อ: Double-check all coaxial cable connections for tightness and correct routing. Ensure all unused ports on the DPH42 Switch have weather caps securely in place.
5. คู่มือการใช้งาน
Once properly installed and powered, the DPH42 Switch operates automatically to distribute satellite signals to all connected and compatible receivers. There are no user-adjustable settings on the switch itself. Ensure all connected receivers are powered on and configured correctly according to their respective user manuals to receive satellite programming.
6 การแก้ไขปัญหา
If you encounter issues with your satellite signal, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- ไม่มีสัญญาณหรือสัญญาณขาดๆ หายๆ:
- Verify all coaxial cable connections are secure and correctly seated at the LNBFs, DPH42 Switch, Power Inserter, and receivers.
- Ensure the Power Inserter is properly connected to port 1 of the DPH42 Switch and is receiving power from the electrical outlet.
- Check the LNBFs on your satellite dish for proper alignment and function. Environmental factors like heavy rain or snow can temporarily obstruct the signal.
- Inspect all cables for visible damage, kinks, or wear. Damaged cables can lead to signal loss.
- Heat from Power Inserter: The DPH42 Power Inserter can run warm during operation. Ensure it is placed in a well-ventilated area and not enclosed in a confined space to prevent overheating.
- ความเข้ากันได้ของตัวรับ: Confirm that your receivers (Hopper, Joey, Wally, ViP) are compatible with the DPH42 system. Legacy receivers are not supported.
- Unused Ports: Ensure all unused output ports on the DPH42 Switch are sealed with weather caps to prevent moisture ingress and signal degradation.
If problems persist after performing these checks, consult your receiver's user manual or contact Dish Network technical support.
