Genie Air
TM
needs to be placed in a vertical position. Since Genie Air
TM
is a Headless
Server, a TV cannot be attached to it, and this provides placement flexibility.
Steps To Install Genie Air
TM
:
1) Install the ODU with a Digital SWiM LNB.
•Refer D-114 H44 Tech Comm for detailed information regarding
installation using the built-in SWiM power inserter.
2) If Internet is available (or will be available soon if known), place the Genie Air
TM
near the customer’s router and connect the Ethernet cable from the customer’s
router to the Genie Air
TM
. Genie Air
TM
will automatically connect to the Internet.
This is the preferred method. The minimum distance from other Wireless
devices is 4 feet (similar to present day wireless video and Wi-Fi guidance).
•Alternate Internet Connection – The Genie Air
TM
can also be Internet
connected using BB-DECA or Internal Wi-Fi (similar to HR44/54).
•Alternate Genie Air
TM
Location: Place the Genie Air
TM
in a location for
optimal signal between the built-in WVB and Wireless Client (per current
WVB placement guidance). Refer D-040 WVB Tech Comm for detailed
information.
3) Connect the coax cable from the wall plate to the Genie Air
TM
.
4) Connect the power cable to the Genie Air
TM
.

TM
Boot-Up & Activation
Once the Genie Air
TM
has Power, the Status LED on the front of the Genie Air
TM
goes
through various color state changes.
1) The Status LED remains OFF during boot-up (about 10 seconds). Note: This
initial LED Off state is subject to change before launch.
2) Once the Status LED turns Solid White (approx. 5 seconds), the Installer needs
to press the Add Client button located at the top of the Genie Air
TM
to force a
SWDL to the Genie Air
TM
(if necessary).
•SWDL over Broadband takes priority over SWDL over Satellite.
•The Status LED will change to Flashing White while the download occurs.
•Do not unplug or reset the Genie Air
TM
while it is in the Flashing White
LED state.

•The SWDL duration via Satellite will be approx. the same as today while
the broadband download will be faster.
•Once the download completes, the Genie Air
TM
will reboot itself, and LED
sequence will go back to step 1 (Status LED Off for approx. 10 seconds,
Solid White for approx. 5 seconds)
•SWDL failure: In case of any issues during SWDL, the Status LED will
start Flashing Red. At this point the Genie Air
TM
will reboot itself and
attempt to download the software again.
3) The Status LED will turn Flashing Green (approx. 3-4 minutes), and the Add
Client button will begin Flashing Green (this indicates that the Installer’s Mobile
App and Wireless Clients can connect to the Genie Air
TM
).
4) The Installer can see the Initial setup screens by one of the following:
•On the Installer’s mobile device with the Mobile Installation App (that has
been previously configured), turn the Wi-Fi On. Then connect the
Installer’s mobile device to the Genie Air
TM
internal WVB wireless network
and launch the App. The role of the App is to allow the technician to setup
the Genie Air
TM
without a TV connected to it.
•If the Installer’s Mobile Device is unable to detect the WVB
Wireless Network, press the “Add Client” Button on the Genie
Air
TM
.
•This connection does not need Internet or cellular service.
•The steps for the one-time configuration of the Mobile Installation
App is explained in the Appendix.
•Connect a Wireless client to a TV to see the same installation screens
that will be displayed on the Mobile Installation App. If the screens don’t
appear, press the “Add Client” Button on the Genie Air
TM
•Connect a Wired Client to a TV and the Genie Air
TM
MoCA network to see
the same installation screens that will be displayed on the Mobile
Installation App.
5) The following Satellite Dish Setup (Verifying configuration) screen will be
displayed on the Mobile Installation App (or clients).
