Access Modem
The InCoax Modems is a series of Ethernet over Coax network terminals providing 1 Gbps
Ethernet. The modems communicate with the InCoax D2508 DPU based on the MoCA Access™
2.5 standard. The Access Modems are installed in the subscribers’ premises.
The in:xtnd™ Access A101 is a 1 Gbps Ethernet port Modem.
These devices will be referred to as the Modem in this document.
DPU
The InCoax D2508 is a eight-channel Ethernet over Coax Access Node, capable of 2.5 Gbps on
the RF port supporting up to 4 Modems. The communication with the Modems is based on the
MoCA Access™ 2.5 standard.
This device will be referred to as the DPU in this document.
Customer End user or subscriber of broadband services.
Diplexer
The in:xtnd™ Combine(diplexer) is a series of high-performance bidirectional
frequency combiners, i.e. for combining and splitting frequencies. The
combiners/diplexers are used for connecting one or two MoCA Access broadband
frequency spectrum signals from an in:xtnd™ DPU with Radio/TV frequency
spectrum signals into a single coaxial cable. The bidirectional diplexer also protects
the DPU from receiving RF signal disturbances outside of the MoCA Access broadband
frequency spectrum and should always be installed.
These devices will be referred to as the Diplexer in this document.
Management
System
The InCoax Management System is a Linux-based, advanced element manager with features for
DPU deployment, control, and supervision of the coax link conditions. It includes essential
functions for service provisioning and network management.
This software will be referred to as the Management System in this document.
MoCA Access
The MoCA Access™ 2.5 standard is a point-to-multipoint access technology over coaxial
network. It is designed to co-exist with legacy services such as TV and DOCSIS 3.0/3.1.
The operating frequency range is between 400 MHz and 1675 MHz. See reference {c}.
Trunk The Trunk is the uplink port from the DPU. It uses SFP modules.
