Specs

• Another Tech-X Flex unit elsewhere on the network would appear as any other remote node for the

purpose of these screens, except that the tab in the Node Stats page will include the prefix “FLEX”.

• You can set these values to appear in red if specified thresholds are exceeded. For more information,

see Thresholds on page 7-28.

• Some of these results involve complex characteristics of a MoCA network which are beyond the

scope of this document to describe. See the respective MoCA specification for more details.

The first tab (for the unit itself) includes the following information:

• MAC Vendor/Address - The vendor (Spirent) and MAC address of the unit MoCA interface.

• Uptime - Amount of time since the initialization of the module. The module is initialized when a

MoCA-specific function is launched, such as Join MoCA Network, not necessarily the same time

that the MoCA menu is first accessed.

• Link Uptime - Amount of time that the module has been synchronized on a the current network.

• Reset Count - Number of times that the module has been resynchronized.

• Network MoCA Version - The lowest version of the MoCA standard running on the network to which

the unit is synchronized. For example, if a v1.1 node is present on the network, this field will report

1.1, even if the network includes other nodes using v2.0. For more information on multiple MoCA

versions on a single network, see About multiple MoCA versions on a single network on page 7-38.

• MoCA Versions Found - A list of all MoCA versions detected in use on the network.
