IV. M
INIMUM REQUIREMENTS
All Minimum Requirements of Genie are applicable to Genie AirTM EXCEPT the Genie AirTM
requires:
The following steps are to be followed by an Installer for new installations (not replacement).
1. Physical Installation
Genie AirTM needs to be placed in a vertical position. Since Genie AirTM is a Headless
Server, a TV cannot be attached to it, and this provides placement flexibility.
Steps To Install Genie AirTM:
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 AirTM
near the customer’s router and connect the Ethernet cable from the customer’s
router to the Genie AirTM. Genie AirTM 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 AirTM can also be Internet
connected using BB-DECA or Internal Wi-Fi (similar to HR44/54).
• Alternate Genie AirTM Location: Place the Genie AirTM 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 AirTM.
4) Connect the power cable to the Genie AirTM.
2. Genie AirTM Boot-Up & Activation
Once the Genie AirTM has Power, the Status LED on the front of the Genie AirTM 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 AirTM to force a
SWDL to the Genie AirTM (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 AirTM while it is in the Flashing White
LED state.

Product Manual – Genie AirTM
• 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 AirTM 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 AirTM 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 AirTM).
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 AirTM internal WVB wireless network
and launch the App. The role of the App is to allow the technician to setup
the Genie AirTM 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
AirTM.
• 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 AirTM
• Connect a Wired Client to a TV and the Genie AirTM 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).

ECORDING & STREAMING CONFLICTS
In the current Genie products, when a user exceeds streaming limits, a Streaming Conflict
OSD is displayed, and when a user tries to record on too many tuners, a Recording Conflict
warning is displayed. On a Client connected to an Genie AirTM, these two limitations will be
combined into one screen.
When the user tries to watch or / record an eighth program, a conflict occurs, the following
Resource Conflict OSD is displayed.
Draft Text:
“Please cancel a recording below so <New Conflict> can be recorded. Otherwise press
EXIT.”
(Or)
“Please cancel an option below so <New Conflict> can be watched. Otherwise press EXIT.”
To help provide users with better information to choose their cancellation, a new tag (First
Run) has been added to indicate First Running of a particular program.
FIGURE 41: RESOURCE CONFLICT - FIRST RUN SCREEN (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
Each title listed corresponds to a streaming session on a client, a recording and/or a
Double-Play occurrence. The user will have the following options to resolve the conflict.
• “Cancel Recording”
• This will cancel the recoding so the tuner can be used to record/watch
another channel/title.
• No Option Available
• There will be no option if a client is currently tuned to the channel/title that
is listed, even if the title is being recorded

OSD’S
1. Tilt Error OSD
Draft Text: “Help, Your Super Genie has fallen down …”
Cause: If the Genie AirTM has Tilted or fallen over this OSD will be displayed.

in the OSD will inform the user the appropriate state / position the Genie AirTM should
be in. Set the Genie AirTM straight and select OK to dismiss the OSD.
2. Overheating Warning OSD
Draft Text: “Is it hot in here, or is it just me….”
Cause: If there is something blocking the Genie AirTM, it will restrict the airflow and
cause the Genie AirTM to overheat. Hence this OSD is displayed.
Troubleshooting: Check and make sure that nothing is blocking airflow to the Genie
AirTM. The graphic in the OSD will inform the user the state / position the Genie AirTM
should be placed in. Select OK to restart the Genie.
3. Bad AV Chip OSD
Draft Text: “Oops, Something Went Wrong”
Cause: There is a display issue with the Genie AirTM which prevents it from displaying

YMPTOMS
1. 5GHz SSID’s not listed
Clients connected to a Genie AirTM will not list any 5GHz SSID’s while connecting to the
customer’s router.
Troubleshooting: Customer Education. Genie AirTM only uses the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band to
connect to the customer’s router. Hence it won’t list any 5GHz SSID’s in the network.

HANGE TO EXISTING TROUBLESHOOTING ON
CLIENT / S
ERVER
Since there is no Genie Server to help troubleshoot, there will be some changes to
troubleshooting steps. The following are changes to troubleshooting for existing client and
server scenarios.
1. Checks at Server
For all troubleshooting that has the user troubleshoot at the Genie server location,
troubleshoot as follows. The only exception is when troubleshooting “No Servers Were
Detected” and “Wireless Connection Lost”.
• If the issue occurs only on one client, troubleshoot at the specific client
using another client as a reference of the Genie server.
• If the issue occurs on all clients or there is only one client in the home,
reboot the Genie server.
2. No Servers Were Detected
Symptoms: OSD displays: “No Servers were detected, Check your network
connections”.
Cause:
• Genie AirTM may not be plugged in.
