Program your remote to control other devices

To program your DIRECTV remote to control other devices, follow the steps based on your specific remote model:

For Genie Remotes:

1. Ensure the remote is in RF mode by holding MUTE and ENTER while pointing at your receiver until "Applying IR/RF setup" appears.
2. Press MENU, select Settings, then Remote Control.
3. Select Program Remote and choose the device you wish to program. Follow the on-screen prompts.

For Universal Remotes (HD DVR/Receiver):

1. Press MENU on your remote.
2. Select Settings > Remote Control > Program Remote.
3. Choose the device type and follow the on-screen instructions.

Manual Programming (Genie Remote to TV):

1. Find your TV's 5-digit code using the DIRECTV code lookup tool.
2. Press and hold MUTE and SELECT until the green light flashes twice.
3. Enter the first digit (usually 1), wait for two flashes, then enter the remaining 4 digits.

If your device is not listed, DIRECTV cannot guarantee compatibility, but you can try the code lookup tool for alternative 5-digit codes.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160
In this video, we're going to talk about the basic concepts of the

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:08.520
Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controller. This is the new wireless controller

00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:13.140
from Cisco, which is based on the iOS XE operating system.

00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:16.890
So it's a departure from the previous AireOS operating system

00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:20.100
that we've been using for the last 15 years or so.

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:24.330
So in this video, we're going to talk about the configuration model

00:00:24.330 --> 00:00:27.120
and how it differs from the previous OS.

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.410
So the 9800 uses a modular configuration model.

00:00:31.410 --> 00:00:34.500
This is designed to provide more flexibility

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:37.590
and to make it easier to manage large scale deployments.

00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:41.400
So the configuration is based on three main components:

00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:43.350
profiles, policies, and tags.

00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:46.710
Profiles are the building blocks of the configuration.

00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:50.130
They define the settings for different aspects of the wireless network,

00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:52.860
such as WLANs, APs, and RF.

00:00:52.860 --> 00:00:56.100
Policies are used to group profiles together.

00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:59.430
For example, you could create a policy for a specific location

00:00:59.430 --> 00:01:02.430
that includes the WLANs and APs for that location.

00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:05.700
Tags are used to apply policies to APs.

00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:08.730
You can assign tags to APs based on their location,

00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:11.100
their function, or any other criteria.

00:01:11.100 --> 00:01:14.490
This modular approach makes it easy to make changes to the configuration.

00:01:14.490 --> 00:01:17.460
For example, if you want to change the security settings for a WLAN,

00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:20.160
you only need to change the setting in the WLAN profile.

00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:23.130
The change will then be automatically applied to all APs

00:01:23.130 --> 00:01:25.560
that are using that profile.

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.890
So let's take a closer look at each of these components.

00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:31.950
Profiles are the most basic unit of configuration.

00:01:31.950 --> 00:01:34.860
There are several different types of profiles, including:

00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:38.460
WLAN profiles: These define the settings for a wireless network,

00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:41.400
such as the SSID, security settings, and VLAN.

00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.700
Policy profiles: These define the network and switching policies

00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:46.800
for a client that connects to a WLAN.

00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:50.130
AP profiles: These define the settings for an access point,

00:01:50.130 --> 00:01:52.800
such as the radio settings and power levels.

00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:56.130
RF profiles: These define the radio frequency settings for a group of APs.

00:01:56.130 --> 00:01:59.460
Policies are used to group profiles together.

00:01:59.460 --> 00:02:02.790
There are two main types of policies: policy tags and site tags.

00:02:02.790 --> 00:02:06.120
Policy tags: These map a WLAN profile to a policy profile.

00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.450
Site tags: These define the properties of a site,

00:02:09.450 --> 00:02:12.120
such as the AP join profile and the flex profile.

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.450
Tags are used to apply policies to APs.

00:02:15.450 --> 00:02:18.780
There are three main types of tags: policy tags, site tags, and RF tags.

00:02:18.780 --> 00:02:22.110
Policy tags: These are used to apply policy tags to APs.

00:02:22.110 --> 00:02:25.440
Site tags: These are used to apply site tags to APs.

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:28.770
RF tags: These are used to apply RF profiles to APs.

00:02:28.770 --> 00:02:32.100
So that's a brief overview of the configuration model for the

00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:34.140
Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controller.

00:02:34.140 --> 00:02:37.470
In the next video, we'll take a look at how to configure these components.
