Once the unit has joined the MoCA network, the main statistics and testing menu becomes available:

Single-ended testing setup for STB troubleshooting
When troubleshooting video issues, a common approach is to test at an STB location to rule out either
the STB or the associated coaxial cable as the cause. Common options for connection include:
• Replace the STB with the unit - In this scenario, the STB is disconnected and the unit is connected
to the main coaxial network for synchronization. This type of configuration can be useful for statistics
retrieval in an effort to isolate coaxial cable problems, as well as logical testing from the network
perspective of the STB.
• Connect directly to the STB - In this scenario, the unit and STB form a small, isolated MoCA
network between themselves which allows the same statistics retrieval as any MoCA
synchronization. If bandwidth between the devices is poor or synchronization cannot be achieved at
all, a likely cause is defective MoCA hardware in the STB.
