Reconfigure A R16-300 Receiver?

We are reconfigure a DTV R16 receiver. It was working on a legacy slimline dish, and now we have changed to a SWiM Slimline dish. When we push the satellite menu it goes straight to the signal strength screen. It does not give us the option to reconfigure the satellites.Thank you,Bradford
