VIP2502W Wireless IPTV Receiver Installation Guide
Wireless Connection
As shown in the sketch below, programs and services for the VIP2502W are transmitted
wirelessly over the air from a VAP2500 Access Point. The access point, in turn, is
connected to your home network gateway device.
The VAP2500 Access Point is capable of transmitting separate programming streams to as
many as five wireless IPTV Receivers. The Access point uses Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
protocols to identify, authorize and manage traffic to and from the client devices.
Register the TV Receiver with the Access Point
Before your TV Receiver can receive any programming, it must be registered as an
authorized device with the Access Point. Run the WPS procedure as follows:
1. Install the VAP2500 Access Point as described in the VAP2500 Quick Install Guide.
2. Connect the cord from the DC Power Adapter to the
POWER +12VDC connector on the rear of the VIP2500,
and plug the adapter into an AC wall socket, and then
connect the VIP2502W to your TV set as described starting
on page 5.
3. The POWER button on the front of the VIP2502W lights
green to indicate power is applied. Ensure power is
applied to your TV, as well.
4. Ensure that the VAP2500 is connected to your home
gateway device, and that power is applied to it.
5. When the TV Receiver starts up, it will look for a signal
from an Access Point. When it detects the signal, a
prompt will appear on your TV screen asking if you wish to
connect.
6. On the front panel of the VIP2502W, touch
OK.
7. Go to the Access Point, and then press and hold the WPS button on the front of
the VAP 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 sequence is in
process. When three horizontal dots appear, the connection has been successful.
9. On the front panel of the VIP2502W, two or more bars on the signal strength
indicator should light green. You have now established a secure wireless
connection between the Access Point and your VIP2502W.
