FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
Setting up the video bridge is easy. Connect it
to a free coax line, and if needed disconnect the
terminator cap and run a coax line to another
receiver. (Otherwise keep the cap in place.)
Connect it to the power adapter and plug it in.
Withing a moment the light on the front should
start ashing blue. When it turns solid blue,
you’re done. That’s it.
Just like the wired clients, there is a setup and
pairing procedure. It only needs to be done once.
Connect the client to the TV and power it up.
You should see the normal DIRECTV startup
screens and eventually you will see the rst
pairing screen:
Go to the Genie DVR and turn it on. Then, press
{MENU}. From there, go to Settings&Help,
Settings, Whole-Home, Add A Client. A PIN will be
displayed on the screen-- write it down because you
will need it later. This is the same procedure you
use to pair a wired client. (Click here to read our
pairing instructions for wired clients.)
It may take up to a minute but if the client is able
to communicate with the video bridge you will see
the Signal Strength display and you will see that
“Continue” is highlighted. Press {SELECT}.
Now, the client will wait up to 2 minutes to
complete the pairing procedure, during which
time you will see this screen:
When the video bridge and client are paired,
you will be asked for the PIN that you saw on
the Genie DVR menu. From here the process
is very straightforward. You can copy settings
from another client (or from the server) you can
name the client, and program the remote. This
is an RF remote but it will also control your TV
in IR mode so there’s no reason not to put it in
RF mode right away.
