You can enjoy a full range of video services and applications without having to run wires, lay cables, or drill holes. The VAP2500 uses one-button, Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS) technology to ensure easy, reliable installation. The Wireless TV operates works in conjunction with the Wireless Receiver (client) as a Wireless Access Point. Front Panel Rear Panel Power WPS/
WiFi Ethernet WPS Green = The VAP2500 is on Off = The VAP2500 is off or disconnected from its power source Blinking orange = WPS button has been pushed and association is in progress. Solid Green = At least one wireless receiver has associated Flashing Green = At least one association and wireless activity is detected Off = No wireless connection Solid Green = Ethernet link is detected Blinking Green = Ethernet link ius detected and wired activity is present Off = Ethernet link is not detected WPS button Reset Button Resets the VAP2500 to its default settings Ethernet Port Connects to the Ethernet-equipped Home Gateway Power Jack Provides power to the VAP2500 Installing Your VAP2500 Follow the instructions below to install your Wireless Access Point and Client. Step 1: Connect the Wireless Access Point 1. Connect one VAP2500 unit to your Gateway using the provided six-foot yellow Ethernet cable. Before you connect the VAP2500, ensure the Gateway is powered on. 2. Connect the power adapter to the VAP2500 and plug the adapter into a wall outlet. Youll see the units Power and Ethernet LEDs lights go on, indicating the unit is powered:
. Install the Wireless Access Point 1. IThe VAP2500 Wireless Access Point is capable of transmitting separate programming streams to as many as five client devices (Wireless Receivers). The Wireless Access Point uses Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) protocols to identify, authorize and manage traffic to and from its clients. Register the TV Receiver with the Wireless Access Point Before your TV Receiver can receive any programming, it must be registered as an authorized device with the Wireless Access Point. Run the WPS procedure as follows:
2. Connect the cord from the DC Power Adapter to the POWER +12VDC connector on the rear of the Wireless Receiver, and plug the adapter into an AC wall socket, and then connect the Wireless Receiver to your TV set. 3. Press the POWER button on the front of the Wireless Receiver; the button lights green to indicate power is applied. Ensure power is applied to your TV, as well. Ensure that the VAP2500 is connected to your home gateway device, and that power is applied to it. Interfacing with the Wireless Receiver 4. Wait 60 seconds after powering the Wireless Access Point, and then press and hold the WPS button on the VAP2500 for two seconds. You will then have two minutes to activate the WPS on the Wireless Receiver. 5. When the TV Receiver starts up, it will look for a signal from an Wireless Access Point. When it detects the signal, a prompt will apper on your TV screen asking if you wish to connect. 6. On the front panel of the Wireless Receiver, touch OK. An icon appears on the screen, indicating that the connection sequence is in process. When three horizontal dots appear, the connection has been successful. 7. On the front panel of the Wireless Receiver, the Link indicator lights green. You have now established a secure wireless connection between the Wireless Access Point and the Client and canbegin streaming video content to your secondary set-top box or boxes. Installing Additional U-Verse Receivers Once youve installed your Wireless Access Point to your home gateway and established a wireless connection with your Client, you can install additional VAP2500 clients throughout your home. Follow the instructions below for each single client unit you wish to install. 1. Connect the VAP2500 to your secondary set-top box with the provided Ethernet cable. Before you connect the VAP2500, ensure your set-top box is powered on. Note: While you are required to connect your VAP2500 to a set-top box to ensure it properly transfers video throughout your home, the VAP2500s extra Ethernet ports provide you with the option of connecting other devices to the unit as well, such as computers and gaming consoles. 2. Connect the power adapter to the VAP2500 and plug the adapter into a wall outlet. Youll see the units Power and Ethernet LEDs lights go on, indicating the unit is powered:
. 3. Wait 60 seconds after powering the VAP2500, and then press and hold the WPS button on the back of the Home Gateway Unit for two seconds. After doing so, you will have two minutes to return to the Wireless Access Point and press and hold its WPS button. Pressing the buttons on both units enables them to establish a wireless connection. Note: See the previous instructions under Front Panel for an explanation of the LED activity. 4. After the VAP2500 establishes a wireless connection with your set-top box, the Wireless link LED lights:
present. When flashing green, activity is Troubleshooting Rapidly blinking WPS LED If the LED is blinking orange, the WPS button has been pushed and association is in progress. If it is blinking green, at least one association has been made and wireless activity is present. Cannot configure a VAP2500 unit as an Wireless Access Point If you cannot establish one of your units as an Wireless Access Point, it may indicate that your router is not connected to your service providers network. (The operational mode LED lights green on VAP2500 units dedicated as Wireless Access Points and amber on VAP2500 units dedicated as Clients. If you experience this problem, contact your service provider for assistance.
