About your TERK
MS-WB616 Multiswitch
Thank you for choosing the Terk MS-WB616 Wide Band
Multiswitch. Please read through this owner’s manual so
that you will know how to operate your Multiswitch
properly. Always keep this owner’s manual in a safe place
for future reference.
This wideband 6x16 Multiswitch is designed to expand the
new Ka/Ku Out-Door Unit (ODU) from 4 outputs to 16
outputs, supporting up to 16 independently operating
receivers. The Ka/Ku ODU is designed to support the latest
DIRECTV A3/MPEG 4 capable HD receivers but is also
compatible with all previous generations of DIRECTV
receivers such as the Terk TRK-S2 (18 inch round ODU)
with 2 outputs and the Terk TRK-S26 (18x20 inch oval
Phase 3 triple LNB ODU) with 4 outputs.
The Terk MS-WB616 has 6 inputs. Four inputs are for the
traditional 101°/110°/119°W LNBs and two additional Ka
LNBs for 99°W and 103°W. The MS-WB616 also has 2
FlexPort inputs. The FlexPorts are used to interface with
the dish antennas of two additional DIRECTV satellites at
locations such as 72.5°W and 95°W.

Using your TERK
MS-WB616 Multiswitch
• FlexPorts can only be accessed with the APG (Advanced
Program Guide) satellite receiver or the A3/MPEG 4
capable HD receiver (i.e. model H20). The FlexPorts are
used to interface with the dish antennas of two
additional DIRECTV satellites, at locations such as 95°W,
72.5°W.
• Consult the APG satellite receiver or the A3/MPEG 4
capable HD receiver user's manuals for 6x16 setup
procedures. There are differences as only the APG
satellite receiver has the “Auto Configure” for detecting
dish setups.
• With the APG satellite receiver, if you do not have any
FlexPort connected, always use manual dish set option
instead of “Auto Configure” to speed up the installation
process.
• With the APG satellite receiver, if you have either 72.5°W
or 95°W or input, always use FlexPort 1. If you have
both 72.5°W and 95°W, use FlexPort 1 for 72.5°W and
FlexPort 2 for 95°W. In multi APG IRD environment, you
should run one auto-configure at a time; and before
auto-configuring is running make sure the other APG
IRDs are on 101°W (Channel 100 is suggested). This will
reduce system acquisition time and minimize error.

Using your TERK
MS-WB616 Multiswitch
• This wideband 6x16 multi-switch must never be used in
a system containing a Frequency Translation Module
(FTM) as the equivalent function is already contained in
the FTM.
• Diplexing off-air signal can be done on the 16 outputs of
the Multiswitch when used with a 18x20 Phase III or 18
inch round Dish. Diplexing shall not be used with Ka/Ku
ODU since Ka-Lo band of 250 - 750 MHz occupies that
frequency band. We recommend the Terk BDS-P1
diplexer for this.

Mounting your TERK MS-WB616
Multiswitch
When mounting your Terk MS-WB616 using RG-6 cable
with solid-copper center conductor is required to reduce
cable DC drop. Use RG-6 cables with proper exterior
water-proof connectors, preferably mounting/orienting the
MS-WB616 where it is shielded from rain. Use F
connectors rated to at least 2150 MHz and minimize the
number of F connections used to reduce reflection and
signal strength drop. Terk recommends using our
premium quad shielded QS series RG6 cable or equivalent.
