Intellian MIM - Installation and Operation User Guide
Introduction to Intellian Dish Network Multi-
sat Interface Multi-switch
The Intellian’s Multi-sat Interface Multi-switch (MIM) utilizes a leading-
edge technology which replaces the Dish Network DP-34 multi-switch.
The user oriented design of the MIM offers Dish Network subscribers
access to their favorite high-definition (HD) programs and switches
automatically between Dish Network 110°W, 119°W, and 129°W
satellites or alternatively between satellites 61.5°W,110°W, and 119°W.
If you are in certain areas of the east coast or south Texas, you may
not be able to view HD programs from the 129° satellite based on your
geographical location. Therefore, instead of selecting the 129° satellite,
you can select the 61.5° satellite which carries the same programs as
the 129° satellite.
Intellian recommends using a Dish Network model ViP211 HDTV
receiver for automatic satellite switching. The MIM module has four
receiver connector ports. Intellian’s MIM allows you to select which
receiver connected to the MIM will be the “Master” receiver. The
“Master” receiver will control which satellite the antenna is focused on.
You can simply choose your desired channels by using the receiver’s
remote control through the Master receiver, and the Intellian i-series will
automatically switch to the appropriate satellite.
Introduction Install the MIM
MIM Dimensions
You will need to wire the Intellian i-series system differently than
specified in i-Series manual. These instructions require additional
installation steps. The following instructions and configuration diagram
will explain how to modify your system for MIM use.

5
Installation Site
The MIM should be installed below deck, in a location that is:
• Dry, cool, and ventilated.
• Easily accessible from your main TV viewing area.
• DC plug cable : Connect the DC plug cable to use DC power source
from the i-Series ACU. (The DC out port is supported on the “B4-XXX”
i-Series ACU)
• AC-DC Adaptor : Connect the AC Adaptor if using an AC power source.
Input 100-240V AC 50/60Hz, Output : 12V DC 3.33A
Power Requirements
AC-DC Adaptor
Note: For your own safety, make sure to disconnect power from all
wired components (i.e., antenna control unit and satellite receiver) before
performing this procedure.

Single Receiver Installation
1. Connect the RF cable from the “RF1” connector on the antenna to the
“ANT.RF” connector on the rear panel of the Antenna Control Unit (ACU).
2. Connect the RF cable from the “RECEIVER” connector on the rear
panel of ACU to the “RF INPUT-RF1” connector on the MIM.
3. Connect the RF cable from the “RF2” connector on the antenna to the
“RF INPUT-RF2” connector on the MIM.
4. Connect the RS-232C cable from the “PC interface” connector on the
rear panel of the ACU to the “ACU-RS-232C” connector on the MIM.
5. Connect the RF cable from any “TO RECEIVER SATELLITE IN” on the
rear of the MIM to the “Satellite In” on the rear panel of the receiver.
6. Push the “Select” button on the front panel of the MIM to setup the

Intellian MIM - Installation and Operation User Guide
Select the Master Control Function for
Connected Receivers
Intellian’s MIM allows you to select which receiver connected to the
MIM will be the “Master” receiver by pressing the “Select” button on the
front panel of the MIM.
1. When you have a receiver connected to “TO RECEIVER SATELLITE IN”
number 1 of the MIM, the STB1 light turns on when you push the but
ton the first time. If there are no other connections with other receivers,
the STB1 light will stay on even if the button is continuously pushed.
2. If you have other receivers connected, the STB light will move from
STB1 through STB4 when the button is pushed. This light means the
receiver using this connection will be the “Master”. You can designate
any receiver as the Master using the “Select” button.
3. When using multiple MIMs, first select a Master MIM. When the but
ton on the Master MIM is pushed, all lights on the other MIMs turn off
because only one MIM can be a Master. Once the Master MIM is
selected, you can select STB1 through STB4 as the Master receiver
using the “Select” button.
You simply choose your desired channels by using the receiver’s remote
control through the Master receiver. The Intellian i-series antenna will
automatically switch to the appropriate satellite based on the last chan-
nel selected.

Setup the Receiver Setup and Test “Check Switch”
After all cables are connected completely, turn on the power for the ACU.
When the ACU indicates “Tracking” from the target satellite, turn on the
satellite receiver. You will initially see this message on the TV screen as
below.
In order to load the information from the Intellian MIM into the receiver,
you will need to complete the “Check switch”. Test following the steps
below.
1. On the remote control, press menu, select “#6 System Setup”, “#1
Installation” and then “#1 Point Dish” to enter the “Check Switch”.

16
Intellian MIM - Installation and Operation User Guide
2. Select “Check Switch” button and select “Test”. Be sure that “Super-
DISH” and “Alternate” are NOT checked.
3. Wait until the message “Currently doing test #3 of 3” appears. This
indicates the test is completely done. If the message is different,
check your connections again. Make sure the receiver you are run
ning the “Check Switch” on is designated as the Master receiver. With
dual tuner receivers, wait for the “Satellite Input2” test to be com
pleted. This may take a few minutes.

17
4. After the test is finished, you will see the message with “OK” for all
three satellites dishes 110 °, 119 ° and 129 ° (or 61 °). With dual
tuner receivers, you will see the same results for “Satellite Input 2”.
Select the “Done” button to go to the Point Dish/Signal screen.
5. Select the “Done” and “Cancel” button to exit menu.

18
Intellian MIM - Installation and Operation User Guide
6. At this point, the receiver begins the procedure to download the
program guide information. When the message below displays, follow
the instructions and do not disturb the receiver until the TV displays
video.
7. If you have other receivers connected to the MIM, set each receiver
as a Master (Refer to Page 10) and repeat these procedures from 1 to 6.
Note: When AC power has been removed from the Dish Network
receiver, there is a 5 to 10 minute initialization period when power is re-
stored. This is an unavoidable requirement of the Dish Network receiver,
not a function of the Intellian antenna system.
