Well, I think the problem is that the 621-2 doesn't use DiseqC switching, it uses 22KHz instead.
Relative to focal length, that's different for different dishes (not sure what you have), but you can calculate using
BJDISCALC2
Enter dish size and dish depth and it will give you the FL.
A 6' might be marginal for C-band, but you should be able to get Ku, provided that you have the receiver set up as a universal with 9750/10600. You'll probably get C band too, because I get it further northeast than you, and my old 10' is so dented and warped that I'm sure it's worse than a good 6' .
EDIT: Forgot to mention. No difference between Up/Down, but the Up is for when dish is
aiming south on
motorized system. If using an Az/El, then you'd have to rotate to get proper skew.
