Wireless Connection
As shown in the illustration below, video for the VIP2500 is transmitted wirelessly over the
air from a Wireless Access Point. The access point, in turn, is connected to your residential
gateway device.
Wireless Access Point
Your Wireless Access Point is capable of transmitting separate video streams to multiple
Wireless TV Receivers as specified by your service provider. The Access point uses Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS) protocols to identify, authorize and manage traffic to and from the
Wireless TV Receivers.
Register the TV Receiver with the Access Point
Before your Wireless TV Receiver can become operational, it must be paired as an
authorized device with the Access Point. Run the WPS procedure as follows:
1. Install the Access Point as described in the accompanying
installation document.
2. Connect the cord from the DC Power Adapter to the
POWER +12VDC connector on the rear of the Access
Point, and plug the adapter into an AC wall socket, and
then connect the VIP2500 to your TV set as described
starting on page 5.
3. The POWER button on the front of the VIP2500 lights
green to indicate power is applied. Ensure power is applied
to your TV, as well.
4. Ensure that the Access Point is connected to your home
gateway device, and that power is applied to it.
5. When the VIP2500 starts up, it will look for a signal from
an Access Point. A prompt will appear on your TV screen
asking if you wish to connect.
6. On the front panel of the VIP2500, press
OK.
7. Press and hold the WPS button on the front of the Access Point for two seconds,
then release to activate the WPS process. The Access Point’s WPS LED will blink
orange.
8. An icon appears on the screen, indicating that the connection is in process. When
the connection has been established, the screen will display
Success
.
9. On the front panel of the VIP2500, two or more bars of the Signal Strength
Indicator should light green. You have now established a secure wireless
connection between the Access Point and the Wireless TV Receiver.
