Course Introduction
With so many dierent components to a DIRECTV installation, any
way we can make things easier is always good. Now that some of
our installations require internet connectivity, an added layer of
complexity presents itself.
So let’s take a minute and welcome the DIRECTV Wireless Cinema
Connection Kit, or W-DCCK. This piece of hardware will help to
simplify an installation by allowing the use of a customer’s existing
wireless network, thus removing the need to hard-wire the cus-
tomer’s network connection throughout their home.
This training will cover what the W-DCCK is, and how it will simplify
the connections in a customer’s home. You may see the DIRECTV
Wireless Cinema Connection Kit referred to as the CCK-W in other
materials; please note that this is the same piece of hardware, but
will be referred to as a W-DCCK in this training.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
• Explain what a W-DCCK is
• Explain what a W-DCCK is used for
• Install a W-DCCK
• Troubleshoot W-DCCK issues
Agenda
This module covers the following topics:
• What is a W-DCCK
• W-DCCK Installations
• W-DCCK Troubleshooting
Review
What questions do you have before we begin?

What is a Wireless Cinema Connection Kit
Overview
The Wireless DIRECTV CINEMA™ Connection Kit, or W-DCCK, pro-
vides DIRECTV customers with easy access to the DIRECTV CIN-
EMAplus™ service and other DIRECTV broadband services.
This equipment will connect the customer’s wireless router and
the DIRECTV Receiver or DIRECTV Whole-Home DVR service com-
patible network without any major wiring ran through the home.
Prior to the Wireless Cinema Connection Kit, a broadband or
receiver DECA would have to be installed at the customer’s router
and receiver (except on an H/HR24) to bring internet connectivity
to the receiver. Some installations would also use powerline equip-
ment, which uses the customer’s electrical lines to transmit data.
By using this new hardware, we reduce the amount of wiring and
additional hardware required.
Let’s take a closer look at the W-DCCK.

Wall Mount
While the base allows for the DECA wireless to be mounted to a
wall, DIRECTV technicians are not allowed to install this product to
a wall under any exceptions.
If a customer inquires about this, you must inform the customer
that they would have to handle this themselves.
At the end of this module, the instructions for the customer to
install a wall mount are included.

Installing a Wireless Cinema Connection Kit
Prerequisites
In order to install a W-DCCK, the customer must have the following
hardware:
• A 2.4 or 5 GHz Wireless Router
• DIRECTV HD or HD DVR
Before You Install...
Prior to the actual setup, there are several questions to ask the
customer to assist with your installation...
1. Where is the wireless router?
2. Is the customer’s router WPS capable?
3. Router SSID & security?
4. Is there any security on it, and if so, what is the Key?
Based on the information that you learn, it will help determine
where you install the W-DCCK device. If the customer has a large
home, you may want to install it closer at a receiver which is closer
to the router.
Remember: the customer may not know all of this information,
so it’s important to remain patient and help the customer locate
some of this information.
Connecting the Cinema Connection Kit
1. Verify that the DIRECTV Receiver and the
TV are powered on.
2. Verify a valid Internet connection via the
wireless router and computer.
3. Connect the power adapter to the Power
port of the W-DCCK device
4. Plug the other end of the power adapter
into a surge protector or an electrical outlet (recommended).
5. Determine if the Wi-Fi router
features Wireless Protected Setup
(WPS). This is indicated with these
icons, or with the letters WPS:
If the customer’s router does not
have WPS, that is OK; the W-DCCK device has this feature available.

Connecting the Wireless Cinema Connection Kit
The next steps we take will depend on if the customer’s router is
WPS-capable or not. If the router is not WPS capable, skip the next
three steps.
If the router is WPS capable, perform the following steps. (The W-
DCCK device must be powered on, but do not connect the device to
the DIRECTV Receiver.)
1. On the router, press the WPS button.
2. Within two minutes of activating WPS on the router, press and
hold the WPS button on the W-DCCK device until the WLAN LED
on the W-DCCK device ashes green.

3. The WLAN LED displays solid green when the connection is com-
plete.
If the WLAN LED on the W-DCCK device does not light up, repeat the
steps above. If the WLAN LED still does not light up, go to the next
section.

Whole-Home DVR Service without DECA
This section describes how to connect your W-DCCK device if you
have a DIRECTV Whole-Home DVR service compatible installation.
In this installation, you will be using the enclosed coaxial cable.
The Ethernet cable included with your W-DCCK will not be used.
1. Disconnect the coaxial cable from the back of your Receiver,
which should be connected to the port labeled “SATELLITE IN
1” or “SAT IN 1.” and connect it to the coaxial connector on your
W-DCCK device labeled “Towards LNB”.
2. Unscrew the cap from the coaxial connector labeled “SAT Rcvr”
on your W-DCCK device.
3. Using the enclosed coaxial cable, connect one end to the co-
axial connector on your W-DCCK device labeled “SAT Rcvr”.
