VAP2400 Wireless Video Bridge • Installation Manual 5

Installation and Overview

The VAP2400 enables you to transmit multiple standard- and high-deﬁnition video streams throughout your home

wirelessly. You can enjoy a full range of video services and applications without having to run wires, lay cables,

or drill holes. The VAP2400 uses one-button, Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) technology to ensure easy, reliable

installation.

The VAP2400 operates via two (or more) integrated units. You’ll dedicate one unit as the Access Point and

the other unit (or units) as its Client. When you connect a VAP to your home gateway, it auto-conﬁgures as an

Access Point. The Access Point streams content to the Client, which you’ll connect to a secondary set-top in

a different location in your home. (The Client auto-conﬁgures as well when you connect it to the set-top.) The

following graphic illustrates this setup:

Installing Your VAP2400 (Dual Units)

Follow the instructions below to install your Access Point and Client.

Step 1: Install the Access Point

1. Connect one VAP unit to your Home Gateway using the provided Ethernet cable. Before you connect the

VAP, ensure the Gateway is powered on.

2. Connect the power adapter to the VAP and plug the adapter into a wall outlet. You’ll see the power LED

on the unit’s front panel light green, indicating the unit is powered:

. Check to ensure the operational

mode LED lights green, indicating the VAP is functioning as an Access Point.

Installation and Overview

VAP2400 Wireless Video Bridge • Installation Manual 10

Step 2: Install the Client

1. Connect the second VAP unit to your secondary set-top box with the provided Ethernet cable. Before you

connect the VAP, ensure your set-top box is powered on.

Note: While you are required to connect your VAP to a set-top box to ensure the Access Point properly

streams video to the client, the VAP’s 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 VAP and plug the adapter into a wall outlet. You’ll see the power LED on

the unit’s front panel light green, indicating the unit is powered:

Installation and Overview

VAP2400 Wireless Video Bridge • Installation Manual 11

3. Wait 60 seconds after powering the VAP, and then press and hold the WPS button on the back of the Client

for two seconds. After doing so, you will have two minutes to return to the Access Point and press and

hold its WPS button. Pressing the buttons on both units enables them to establish a wireless connection.

Note: After you press the WPS button, the LED below it ﬂashes green. If your connection is successful,

the LED will stop ﬂashing, light solid green for approximately ﬁve minutes, and then extinguish. This is a

normal part of the process and does not mean you have lost your connection to the Access Point. If the

LED connection continues ﬂashing, it indicates the unit has experienced an error. If this occurs, refer to

Troubleshooting, page 16.

4. The Client’s Wireless link LED lights green:

. You have now established a secure wireless connection

between the Access Point and the Client. Check to ensure the operational mode LED lights amber,

indicating the VAP is functioning as a Client. You now can begin streaming video content to your secondary

set-top box or boxes.

Installation and Overview

VAP2400 Wireless Video Bridge • Installation Manual 12

Installing Additional VAP2400 Clients

Once you’ve installed your Access Point to your home gateway and established a wireless connection with your

Client, you can install additional VAP clients throughout your home. Follow the instructions below for each single

client unit you wish to install.

1. Connect the VAP to your secondary set-top box with the provided Ethernet cable. Before you connect the

VAP, ensure your set-top box is powered on.

Note: While you are required to connect your VAP to a set-top box to ensure it properly transfers video

throughout your home, the VAP’s 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 VAP and plug the adapter into a wall outlet. You’ll see the power LED on

the unit’s front panel light green, indicating the unit is powered:

Troubleshooting

If you cannot ﬁnd a solution to your problem in this manual, or to otherwise get assistance with your VAP2400,

contact your service provider.

Solutions

If the solutions listed here do not solve your problem, try pressing the Reset button on the rear panel of the

Access Point and/or Client. Pressing and immediately releasing the Reset button resets the VAP to its current

settings. Pressing and holding the Reset button for more than ﬁve seconds will perform a factory default reset,

which you should do only if directed to do so by a technical service representative.

Problem Possible Solution

Power LED is off Check that the VAP2400 is properly plugged into the electrical outlet.

Check that the electrical outlet is working.

Press and immediately release the Reset button.

Cannot send or receive data Check that the Ethernet cable is properly connected to both the VAP2400 and your home

gateway/device.

Ensure you have not experienced an interruption in your cable or Internet service.

Ensure your home gateway is connected and functioning.

VAP cannot locate network Locate the WPS button on the VAP’s back panel. Press and hold the button until the

Wireless Link Quality LED lights solid green.

Operational Mode LED is blinking

amber

Access Point: Unplug the unit. Restart your gateway. After the gateway boots, plug in the

unit and wait for the LED to light green.

Client: If the LED continues blinking for more than 60 seconds, unplug the unit and then

plug it back into the outlet.

Troubleshooting

VAP2400 Wireless Video Bridge • Installation Manual 16

Rapidly blinking WPS LED If the LED remains in this state for longer than two minutes, go to the unit’s back panel

and push the WPS button. The LED may continue ﬂashing in a different pattern, rapidly

blinking for 1 second and then resting brieﬂy before blinking again. If this occurs, wait

one to two minutes and then press the WPS button again.

Cannot conﬁgure a VAP unit as an

Access Point

If you cannot establish one of your units as an Access Point, it may indicate that your

router is not connected to your service provider’s network. (The operational mode LED

lights green on VAP units dedicated as Access Points and amber on VAP units dedicated

as Clients; see pp. 9–11 for more details.) If you experience this problem, contact your

service provider for assistance.
