How to connect the Rostelecom Wink prefix to the TV and set up broadcasting

After the purchase, you need to create a Rostelecom account. It works for multiple devices. You can create it once on a TV, smartphone or PC and subsequently apply it to other devices. When renting or buying a Rostelecom set-top box, an account is created when drawing up an agreement; the agreement must contain a username and password in order to activate it.
A maximum of five devices can be connected to one account. To connect another one, it will be necessary to turn off one of the previously connected ones. This is done in the settings if you don’t intend to use it anymore. Connect to TV device:

1. Take the set-top box, connect the power adapter to it, but do not plug it into the outlet.
2. Enter the router options, find IPTV, start IGMP Proxy, select the “Bridge” mode and determine the LAN-port number. Save the options and restart the router.
3. Plug the cable into the router and the other end into the set-top box. And you need to plug it into just the LAN port number that you indicated in the options.
4. Connect the video cable to the TV. If you have an HDMI interface, you need to use an HDMI cable. It guarantees one of the best picture and audio quality available today. If the cable is not supplied in the kit, purchase it. Or connect through the “tulips” according to the color indication.
5. The scheme of switching on the set-top box to the TV.
6. Connect the set-top box, select the correct video source – via HDMI or VGA. As a rule, the AV or TV button controls the signal sources.
7. Upon successful startup, the boot screen will appear. Then it will ask you to set the login and password indicated in the agreement with Interactive TV Rostelecom. Enter them with Wink’s remote support. After a couple of seconds, a list of channels and videos will appear on the screen.

Rostelecom remote control

In some cases, the firmware may be updated immediately when you turn it on for the first time.

How to update the console software

There are two ways to update the Rostelecom Wink set-top box to modern firmware: Self-updating over the air when connecting to the Internet. The second, more difficult way. Download the new update from the official website of Rostelecom, select an image for your set-top box, copy it to the root of an 8GB flash drive (no more, because the device may not see the desired image), connect this flash drive to the receiver’s USB and wait until the software installed in ROM. The flash drive can then be removed.
If the update did not go according to the TV plan, the Wink set-top box can be rolled back to factory settings below:

Device overheating

The set-top box will always overheat after several hours of intensive use, because the case and especially the power supply generate a lot of heat. But if overheating occurs a short time after switching on, then most likely the operation is not working properly. The task of the user is to ensure proper ventilation. All elements of the system must be located in open space. Pay attention to the fact that there is a gap between the set-top box and the furniture.

What are the operating problems?

In some versions of the set-top box, users have such a problem: after about half an hour of work, the red and green lights light up together. We are talking about models with serial numbers starting with a combination of numbers 30819 and 30823. This problem mainly occurs on the IPTV HD Mini set-top box. This is due to overheating. By ensuring normal ventilation conditions, the user can solve this problem on his own, but sooner or later irreversible damage will appear on the condenser, and you will have to contact the service. The most difficult problem, which even a very advanced user will not be able to handle on their own, is related to problems with the flash memory of the set-top box. Flash memory not only stores software, but also exchanges operational data. The problem can be expressed as follows:

• the prefix freezes, the download does not go;
• the device constantly reboots;
• The set-top box has stopped working and will no longer turn on;
• there are constant firmware failures;
• settings are returned to the factory level.

In case of such problems, you should contact a technical specialist.
