1 General information and SW options
Getting started
When delivered, the Chameleon is “empty”, and to get started you have to register your Chameleon at the
wisiconnect.tv portal. Once your Chameleon is registered, you can download the SW options from the
portal, and upload them to your Chameleon. For a Chameleon where SW options have not been added
after the original purchase, there is also a 30-days uptime installation period for all currently available
functionality.
Register units at the wisiconnect.tv portal
After login, and clicking the “Register Unit”-tab, enter the serial number
of your Chameleon and select your distributor in the drop-down list.

maintain your installed base). Information about SLA End date and SW
options are entered automatically from the information stored in the
Unit Data Base.
Click the Register button to register the Chameleon.
