Setup - Technicolor MediaConnect TG234 Setup And User Manual

2 Setup

Introduction
In this chapter we will describe how to set up a video bridge between your Internet gateway and your set-top box using the
TG234. This is the main use case of the TG234 but you can also use it to establish a high-speed data bridge. The setup
procedure is identical, the only thing that you need to do is replace "set-top box" by any wired Ethernet device (for example
a NAS drive, computer).
MediaAccess Xtream Gateways
In this chapter we will often refer to the MediaAccess Xtream Gateway range. This a range of Technicolor gateways that has
an integrated video bridge access point.
If your Internet gateway is a MediaAccess Xtream Gateway, the product name on the product label will contain the word
"Xtream" (for example: MediaAccess TG799vn v2 Xtream).
What do I need?
To set up a video bridge you need:
One high-speed access point (MediaAccess Xtream Gateway or a TG234):

The access point will allow your Internet gateway to deploy its services over a 5 GHz wireless connection.
One or more TG234 stations:

The station allows your Ethernet device (your set-top box) to connect to this access point.
Optionally, you can also add a TG234 repeater to extend the range or improve the link quality of your access point.
Procedure
1 Set up the access point. If your Internet gateway is:
A MediaAccess Xtream Gateway, no actions are needed because these MediaAccess Xtream Gateways have a

built-in video bridge access point. Proceed with the next step.
Another type of (Technicolor) gateway, you have to connect one TG234 to your Internet gateway. This TG234 will

then work as video bridge access point.
2 Set up the TG234 repeater (if you purchased one).

3 Set up the TG234 stations.
Connect a TG234 to every set-top box that you want to wirelessly connect. These TG234s will work as video bridge
station. For more information, see
