Step 1:   Connect the AVCW-100/109/115 

Virtual Cable Wi-Fi Access Point 

A.    Connect the bundled 9V AC Adapter to the port on the 

DC Injector labeled, 

DC

.  Connect the AC Adapter to a 

wall outlet  

 

B.    Connect the black Cat5 cable that extends from the 

AVCW unit labeled, “AP” to the port on the DC Injector 
labeled, 

Radio

 

C.    Connect the (blue) crossover Cat5 cable from your Hub 

or Switch to the port on the DC Injector labeled, 

Network

.  If you are connecting the Server to a DSL or 

cable modem or Router, use the (white) straight-thru 
Cat5 cable. 

 

D.    Check to see that the yellow LED labeled, "Link" is 

flashing periodically.  If it is solid, try another cable or 
switch to a crossover or straight-thru cable as needed. 

 

E.    If the AVCW unit has an antenna connector (AVCW-

100), use an LMR-400 cable to connect the unit to an 
external antenna. 

 

 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Step 2:  

Position the AVCW-100/109/115 Virtual Cable 
Wi-Fi Access Point 

A.    Affix the AVCW-100, 109 or 115 Virtual Cable Wi-Fi AP 

unit and the antenna (for AVCW-100) to a mast or wall 
using the bundled installation materials. Seal the 
connections between the radio and Ethernet/antenna 
with coax-seal tapes. 

 

Step 

3: 

  Connect the AVCW-200/209/215 Virtual 

Cable Wi-Fi Station 

A.    Connect the bundled 9V AC Adapter to the port on the 

DC Injector labeled, 

DC

.  Connect the AC Adapter a 

wall outlet. 

 

B.    Connect the black Cat5 cable that extends from the 

AVC unit labeled, "Station" to the port on the DC 
injector labeled, 

Radio

 

C.    Connect the bundled (white) Cat5 cable from your PC 

to the port on the DC Injector labeled, 

Network

.   

 

D.   If the AVCW unit has an antenna connector (AVC-200), 

use an LMR-400 cable to connect the unit to an 
external antenna. 

 

E.   Check to see that the yellow LED labeled, "Link" is 

flashing periodically.  If it is solid, try another cable or 
switch to a crossover or straight-thru cable as needed. 

 

F.    Repeat step 3 for all other AVCW-200, 209 or 215 

Virtual Cable Wi-Fi Station units if needed. 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Step 4:  

Position the AVCW-200/209/215 Virtual Cable 
Wi-Fi Station 

A.    Affix the AVCW-200, 209 or 215 Virtual Cable Wi-Fi 

Station unit and the antenna (AVCW-200) to a mast or 
wall unit using the bundled OEM installation materials.   

 

B.    Affix the AVCW-200, 209 or 215 Virtual Cable Wi-Fi 

Station so that the antenna is aimed directly at the 
AVCW AP unit.  If the AP is not in direct view, re-
position or rotate the AVCW-200, 209 or 215 Virtual 
Cable Wireless Station until the LED indicator labeled 
"TX" turns on periodically.  This indicates 
communication with the AP unit. 

 

C.  Seal the connections between the radio and 

Ethernet/antenna with coax-seal tapes to prevent 
moisture from damaging the radio unit. 

 

D.    Repeat step 4 for all other AVCW-200, 209 or 215 

Virtual Cable Wi-Fi Station units if needed. 

 

E.    You are now able to connect with the AP unit. If the AP 

unit is connected to a router, use a web browser (e.g. 
Internet Explorer) to confirm a wireless connection to 
the Internet.  If the AP unit is connected to a switch, use 
your network browser (e.g. Network Neighborhood) to 
confirm access to your Local area Network.  

 

If prompted, your AVCW 100/200, 109/209, 115/215 unit is 
configured with the following Administrator password: 
 

otc123 

 

If there is appears to be no communication, check SSID and channel 
number which must be the same as setting in the AP unit.  Consult 
the Virtual Cable Wi-Fi Manual included with your product.
