physical MoCA network on page 7-32). If you intend to join the LAN network but instead join the WAN,

certain testing may still work but the results may be misleading for troubleshooting efforts.

Before attempting these functions, you should be familiar with the following:

• Example physical MoCA network on page 7-32 - Describes the overall MoCA architecture, including

information about how a LAN and WAN operate over coaxial cable.

• Single-ended testing setup for STB troubleshooting on page 7-7 - Provides an illustration of

connecting the unit at an STB location.

• Single-ended testing setup for router troubleshooting on page 7-8 - Provides an illustration of

connecting the unit at a router location.

7.3.1 Join MoCA network setup parameters

The following input parameters are requested to join a network:

NOTE: The unit will automatically synchronize at the MoCA version in use on the network, or if creating

its own network, the highest version that the connected device will support. Therefore, no MoCA

version input is required. However, different MoCA versions may use different frequencies.

Table 7-1 Join MoCA Network - Input parameters

Parameter Description

Frequency

Offset

Center frequency of the channel to join, along with an optional offset that may be

applicable for some frequencies. Note that:

• If you select a WAN frequency; that is, attempt to join the WAN, the unit should

replace either the router or the ONT. A third WAN device on the network may cause

unpredictable behavior.

• Dependent upon licensing, different units may show different options in this field. For

more information on why your unit(s) show any particular option, please contact

Spirent.
