Step 1 : Overview of the equipment Before you start You will need available and ready to use:– Television with an available HDMI input – Television original remote control – OnAir boxed kit containing the following – OnAir SBB (set back box) – OnAir remote control – OnAir Power Pack – CAT 5 patch lead ( for used with wired connectivity only) – HDMI cable If you plan to connect to the network/internet using a hard wired connection you will need:– Your network connection details - IP Address, Mask, Gateway Ad
OnAir Remote Control Unit Status LED red and green led blinks during code transmission or special codes during setup. On/Off button Used to switch the television and OnAir box together, from standby to on and vice versa.
Step 2 : Connecting the OnAir Set Back Box. Using the supplied HDMI cable, connect the SBB to the television. If you are using wired networking connect the supplied CAT5 patch cord to the RJ45 connector labelled “WAN” on the OnAir SBB and to your network socket. Connect the 12 volt DC power pack output lead to the input marked 12VDC on the OnAir box, (12 volt power pack included in the OnAir kit). Connect mains power cord to the power outlet.
Step 3 : Preparation Preparing the television The OnAir SBB works best when it can control the television using HDMI CEC protocol, CEC protocol is implemented in most in modern televisions. Enter the televisions configuration menu using the televisions original remote control unit and confirm that the CEC is enabled. Refer to the televisions user manual if you are not familiar with the televisions configuration setup menu.
Step 4 : Pairing the Remote Control Unit The remote, included in the OnAir kit, must be ‘one to one’ linked with the OnAir SBB. This step is called 'pairing', once a remote is paired with a SBB it will only send commands to that SBB, it cannot send commands to other SBBs. To ‘pair’ the OnAir remote with the OnAir box press and hold 2 buttons (Home and OK) for about 8 seconds until the red LED starts pulsing, the remote is now trying to pair with the SBB.
A successful paring will show the image below, if it fails simply retry the procedure. A remote control must be successfully paired with the OnAir SBB before you can proceed to the next step. When pair has been achieved, select next and click Additional information about the RCU (Remote Control Unit) is described on chapter 'Define the System Environment' on page 28, please refer also to Troubleshooting guide on page 31.
Step 5 : Network - which connection? You will now be prompted to select the way you intend to connect the OnAir SBB to the network - Wired or Wireless. You will also be prompted to enter the Room and TV Number 2 which must be unique identifiers within the whole of the hotel/property; this ‘Common Data’ is independent of network configuration. Certain configurations require the unique ‘Hotel Code’ to be manually entered, this code was provided when OnAir was purchased.
Wired Direct cable connection between the OnAir SBB and the network/internet. IP address assignment to the SBB will be based on your networking preference or IT requirements; you can choose either Manual or Automatic, which in turn defines the number of mandatory fields that will have to be entered. Select 'Wired' and click to proceed with next step.
Manual: Requires all IP details, ‘Common Data’ and ‘Hotel Code’ to be entered manually; the combination of ‘Hotel Code and 'Common Data', uniquely identifies the SBB with in the hotel/property. Please take care when entering the 14 digit ‘Hotel Code’ as entering an incorrect code will result in the failure of the following connectivity test. When all the fields are completed, select next and click to proceed to next step. When all the fields are completed, select next and click to proceed to next step.
mandatory apart for DNS 2, which is optional. The above screen shot displays the input template for the IP details, all the fields are mandatory except for DNS 2, which is optional. Manual IP configuration is now complete, skip the next section and continue with Connectivity check on page 17. Automatic: If a VDA Appliance Server is available on the network only ‘Common Data’ must be entered manually other parameters are provided automatically by the Appliance Server. If a generic DHCP server (i.e.
The SBB will send a network enquiry to retrieve setup information from the Appliance Server. In case of failure an appropriate message will be displayed on the screen. The following screen shot shows the warning message generated when using a generic DHCP server, the 'Hotel Code' must be entered manually. The combination of ‘Hotel Code and 'Common Data', uniquely identifies the SBB with in the hotel/property.
Connectivity check Regardless of the configuration selected the procedure will lead to a test. If all the data was entered correctly and the network has access to the internet, the connectivity check will validate the configuration. Make sure the network is connected to the internet and that the IP data used to configure the SBB is appropriate for the network internet connection.
Wireless Please have all ‘Common Data’ details, ‘Hotel Code’ and Your Wi-Fi network connection details to hand before proceeding5. Using the SBB internal Wi-Fi in client mode, disables the SBBS local AP ( Access-Point ) feature, these 2 options are mutual exclusive. See 'Step 6 : The Wi-Fi bubble' page 20. Select 'Wi-Fi' and press Select 'Scan network' and press 5 to proceed to next step. to display the SSIDs of available networks.
When the scan of available networks has completed, use the up and down arrow keys to select the network to be used with OnAir and click to confirm. Negotiating to connect to the network will auto-complete certain fields based on the encryption method detected. In the case of WPA, for example, just the pass phrase has to be entered, enter appropriate credentials for other types of encryption. When all required data is entered select 'next' and press to fully connect to the network.
Step 6 : The Wi-Fi bubble Access point Setup OnAir SBB has an internal Wi-Fi b/g/n/ card that can be used to provide a local Wi-Fi AP (Access Point) in the room. Tablets, phones, notebooks, or any other Wi-Fi enabled device, can get connectivity via the OnAir SBB. The corresponding SSID and WPA2 key are only available from a menu page on the television connected to the SBB. Please note this option is only available when the SBB is configured ‘Wired’ internet connection.
Details displayed are made available to the dedicated ‘app’ that guides a user to establish the connection to this Wi-Fi Bubble7. Select the 'Save' button and click to complete the guided procedure. Select the 'Reboot' and click to apply the entire configuration and reboot the SBB. After the reboot, the SBB is ready for use and configured in the previous steps. 7 Wi-Fi bubble is an option and subject to limitation.
Advanced Features Several additional features are available once the initial setup procedure has been completed. To access to these features a specific code must be sent to the SBB using the paired RCU. Entry of the correct code forces the television to display the ‘Configuration Options’ menu below 8. “Network” and “Access Point” are already described on pages 12-18 being part of the initial setup procedure.
Configuration options: Advanced Displays more configuration options; grouped here as a sub menu to avoid accidental access. Advanced : Factory Reset Selecting this options forces the SBB to erase all data and return the SBB to the ‘Factory Default’ condition. After a ‘Factory Reset’ the SBB will reboot and enter the initial configuration procedure. Advanced: VLAN If enabled, allows the installer to define 3 additional VLAN ID's. 1.
Advanced: IR Configuration The RCU (Remote Control Unit) is a dual technology device, using both RF4CE and IR transmission, RCU buttons are grouped by function and each group can be assigned to use one of the two transmission methods. The RF4CE and IR settings of the first RCU / SBB of a new installation must be discovered and configured manually, however if a VDA Appliance Server is part of the installation then the remaining RCUs can be configured automatically by repeating the ‘paring’ procedure.
After completing all tests the ranking result will be displayed. A ranking colour of green (OPTIMAL), if all crucial commands are supported, or orange (AVERAGE) if just basic commands are supported, or red (BAD), if no reply is received from the television. The summary screen below provides guidance about the next step of the setup procedure which can be manual or automatic.
Use the information reported to configure the RCU and achieve the best control of your system. Refer 'Advanced: IR Configuration' on page 24 and 'Manual Setup - Remote Control Unit' on page 28 for more details.
Define the System Environment Generic guideline ‘Out of the box’ - first time use, the RCU has no specific configuration. Based on the ranking results of the previous chapter, it may be necessary to configure certain RCU buttons to send IR (infrared) codes directly to the TV. Select which of the 2 following tables (IPTV / SMATV) best describes the installation and then note the comment against the ranking result achieved in the previous step.
Manual Setup - Remote Control Unit All RCU configurations are set using the programming mode feature. Choosing the correct code (s) is crucial, once identified, the button assignment code(s) must be set into the RCU. This chapter will guide the user for the manual setup of the remote control. There are several advanced features to simplify cloning / loading of the RCU configuration for multiple rooms, please refer to 'Advanced: IR Configuration' on page 24.
enter 4-digits code listed on the table RF-IR-Key group according to your selection. Repeat the above sequence until all required codes for the suggested configuration have been entered.
To query the stored 4-digit code: Enter programming mode and enter code ‘0002’ the green LED blinks twice:Press ‘1’ and count the number of green LED flashes for the value of the first digit of the code, repeat pressing ‘2’ ‘3’ and ‘4’ for the second, third and fourth digits of the code, note there are no flashes for digit “0” Reset the RCU: Enter programming mode and enter code ‘0000’ the green LED blinks twice:The RCU is set to default (no TV set programmed) 30
Troubleshooting Q:How can I enter setup again? A: Using the paired / working RCU, enter in sequence, the SBB will be forced to display to the setup menu. Please note that the SBB must be rebooted to exit the setup menu. Q:How can I pair a new remote? A: Power off/on the OnAir SBB, after 10secs, the front blue light will slowly cycle on/off at 1 sec intervals, this indicates the SBB is listening for additional pairing requests. Refer to "pairing your remote" chapter for guidance.
