18. Setup Second Home Center into a TV Companion
A TV Companion allows you to extend all ROS services to other TVs in your
home. A new and non-activated Home Center can run in TV Companion
mode. Here’s how:
•
Leave the Home Center disconnected from any network.
•
Turn it on and let it finish booting up. The front panel indicator should be
solid amber.
•
Press and hold the WPS button on the rear panel for a minimum of 5
seconds.
•
The front panel will blink red and the Home Center will restart and boot
up in the TV Companion mode.
•
Once the boot up sequence is complete, the front panel will blink green.
Connect the TV Companion to the Home Center wirelessly
The quickest way to connect a TV Companion to the Home Center wirelessly
is to use WPS:
•
With both Home Centers on and fully booted up, press and release the
rear panel WPS button on each unit so they are both in WPS mode.
•
The WPS process takes about 2 minutes to complete.
•
The front panel indicator on the TV companion will turn solid green when
it i successful.
•
If it is not successful the front panel will turn red for 5 seconds. If this
happens, check to make sure the TV Companion is within range of the
Home Center WiFi.
Once a Home Center is activated for service it can no longer be converted to a
TV Companion.
