Removing a WVB
This process is only intended to be used if the WVB is to be permanently removed from the Genie Server. If replacing a WVB, go
to the "Replace WVB" section in this document. If more than one WVB has been installed and a WVB is removed permanently, this
procedure should be performed to stop an error from occurring on the Genie Server.
1. Navigate to Menu - Settings & Help - Settings.
2. Select Whole-Home - Video Bridge.
3. If a WVB is configured to the network, the "Remove Video Bridges" option is enabled.
4. Select the option Remove Video Bridges. The screen will list all the WVB's that are configured to the network. Select Continue to
remove the WVB. If there are multiple WVBs, select the checkbox next to the WVB to remove, and select Continue.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions and press
6. A successful completion OSD will appear. Press "OK".
The removal will cause the wireless clients that are paired with this WVB to disconnect from the wireless network.
Replacing a Wireless Video Bridge
To replace a WVB, use the following procedure:
1. Turn on the Genie Server.
2. Put all C41Ws in standby.
3. Remove power and disconnect the coax from the WVB to be replaced.
4. Install, connect and power on the new WVB.
5. Allow WVB to fully boot up (one to two minutes). The Genie Server will display OSD, "A wireless video bridge has been found and
configured successfully".
6. Select OK to dismiss the OSD.
7. Turn on the clients to verify they connect to the Genie Server through the WVB. There may be brief gray screens as the network
connections are established but video/audio should stabilize shortly (less than one minute).
8. If the clients do not connect within one to two minutes, reset the clients.
9. Next, remove the previous WVB from the Genie by following the steps to "Remove WVB from the Genie Server". Select the WVB
that needs to be removed. This step is required to stop any errors related to the Genie not able to access the old WVB.
