Wireless Connection
As shown in the sketch below, programs and services for the VIP2500 are transmitted
wirelessly over the air from a VAP2500 Access Point. The access point, in turn, is
connected to your home network gateway device.

VAP2500 Access Point
The VAP2500 Access Point is capable of transmitting separate programming streams to as
many as five client devices (wireless TV Receivers). The 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 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 VIP2500 to your TV set as described starting
on page 5.
3. Press the POWER button on the front of the VIP2500; the
button 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. Wait 60 seconds after powering the Access Point, and
then press and hold the WPS button on the front of the VAP
for two seconds. You will then have two minutes to activate
the WPS on the VIP2500.
6. When the TV Receiver starts up, it will look for a signal from an Access Point.
When it detects the signal, a prompt will apper on your TV screen asking if you
wish to connect.
7 . On the front panel of the VIP2500, 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.
8. On the front panel of the VIP2500, the Link indicator lights green. You have now
established a secure wireless connection between the Access Point and the Client.
For further information on the VAP2500 Access Point, refer to your VAP2500 Quick
Install Guide.
