Frequently Asked Questions - Vi2408A Barox

How do I reset the Barox Vi2408A to factory default?

Press and hold the Reset button on the device for about 10 seconds until the LED indicators blink, then release. The repeater will reboot to factory settings.

How can I set up the repeater using WPS?

Press the WPS button on your router, then within 2 minutes press the WPS button on the Vi2408A. The WPS LED will start flashing and then become solid when connected.

What is the default IP address of the Vi2408A?

The default IP address is 192.168.0.254. After connecting to the repeater, enter this in a web browser to access the configuration page.

How do I update the firmware on the Barox Vi2408A?

Download the latest firmware from the Barox support website. Log into the web interface, go to System Tools > Firmware Upgrade, select the file, and click upgrade. Do not power off during the process.

What should I do if the repeater is not connecting to the router?

Ensure both devices are within range, the router's SSID is visible, and you entered the correct Wi-Fi password. Try resetting the repeater and reconfiguring via WPS or web interface.

Can the Vi2408A work with any router?

The repeater is compatible with any router that supports WPS or standard 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n). It may not work with enterprise-grade routers requiring RADIUS authentication.

How can I extend the Wi-Fi range with the Vi2408A?

Place the repeater halfway between your router and the dead zone, within the router's signal range. Use the optimal location by checking the signal strength LED on the repeater.

What do the LED indicators mean on the Barox Vi2408A?

Power LED: solid when on. WLAN LED: solid when connected to router, flashing during data transfer. WPS LED: flashing during WPS setup, solid when successful.

Is the Vi2408A compatible with 5 GHz networks?

No, the Vi2408A operates only on the 2.4 GHz band. It will not extend 5 GHz signals. For dual-band extension, look for a dual-band repeater.

How do I access the web interface for advanced settings?

Connect your computer to the repeater's network (wired or wireless). Open a browser and go to the default IP 192.168.0.254. Log in using default credentials (usually admin/admin).

Vi2404A/Vi2408A/Vi2416A Coax Ethernet Extender's Installation Manual

Two black industrial Ethernet connectors with ports and indicator lights, no visible text or labels

The MaxiiCopper Model Vi2404A, Vi2408A and Vi2416A are revolutionary data transmission devices that extend full-duplex High-Speed Ethernet over existing coaxial infrastructures. For data, they extend 10BaseT signal up to 5,000 ft. (1,524m) and 100BaseT up to 1,800 ft. (546m). When using Pass Through PoE (PTP™), they extend 10BaseT up to 3,000 ft. (914m) and 100BaseT up to 1,800 ft. (546m). They employ MaxiiCopper, an innovative and unique Ethernet extension technology, that is designed to take full advantage of high-bandwidth coaxial cables and maintain a full-duplex 10 or 100 Mb/s Ethernet connection up to the maximum range with minimum transmission error and latency. Multiple remote network devices such as Mega-pixel IP cameras or VoIP can be connected to a central LAN switching fabric with ease. Their dual-rate capability provides an easy way to balance the best possible network throughput and long-reach distance design. The Vi2404A, Vi2408A and Vi2416A support 4, 8 and 16 ports.

These hubs need to be deployed along with Vi2401A on the remote end of each coaxial cable. They are equipped with LEDs to provide link status and configured data rate for each port. They are completely transparent to the corporate IP network and higher layer protocols and require no IP programming or other configurations.

The Vi2408A and Vi2416A are offered in 19 inch 1U heigh enclosure for rack-mount or wall-mount applications. They are ideal for medium to large scale IT networking or digital CCTV projects. The coaxial cable needs to be point to point without any branches. Multiple segments can be joined together using barrel connectors.

IP Camera-end Installation

• Use a Vi2401A single port extender for the camera side transmission.
• Set the Master/Slave dip switch to "Master" mode.
• Connect the external 12VDC power supply to the power connector of the Vi2401A. An optional power adapter connector can be provided to simplify connection. If no local power supply is present the Vi2401A will use POE.
• Connect the IP camera's RJ45 connector to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port of Vi2401A using a standard Cat5/6 patch cable of maximum 330 feet (100 m) in length.
• Connect one end of the long coax cable to the BNC connector of Vi2401A.

The link LED on the 10/100 connector should be "ON" to indicate proper connection between the camera and Vi2401A.

Ethernet Switch/NVR-end Installation

• Connect the chassis ground screw to a solid earth ground.
• Connect the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet switch to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port of Vi2404A/Vi2408A/Vi2416A using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 328 feet (100m) in length.
• Connect long coax cables to the BNC connectors of Vi2404A/Vi2408A/Vi2416A.
• Connect the 12VDC power supply to the power connector of Vi2404A/Vi2408A/Vi2416A.

The link LED on the 10/100 Ethernet connectors should be "ON" to indicate proper connection between the switch and Ethernet ports of Vi2404A/Vi2408A/Vi2416A. While the Link LED, Orange for 100BaseT and Green for 10BaseT, on the coax side, in a steady state will indicate confirmed connection between extenders.
