7.4.1 Join MoCA Network In-Line setup parameters

The setup parameters are functionally identical to those in the Join MoCA Network setup screen. For

more information, see Join MoCA network setup parameters on page 7-5.

Additionally, note the following:

• Be sure that the unit is properly connected on the network before attempting the join. For more

information, see Where to place the unit for bridging on page 7-21.

• The specified parameters (Frequency, etc.) are used for each side, under the assumption that you

are bridging two segments of the same network.

• Upon successful synchronization, the main in-line testing menu appears:

Figure 7-13 Main in-line testing menu

• ECB functionality (if enabled) is only available for the “B” side network. For more information, see

About MoCA and 10/100/1G interface bridging (ECB) on page 7-23

• The in-line testing menu provides IP-related functionality for the A side of the connection, which

operates identically to a single-ended connection established with the Join MoCA network

command. See the respective areas of this document for more information, such as IP Network

Setup on page 7-17.

NOTE: The process of obtaining an IP address may temporarily disrupt video-on-demand (VOD)

traffic. If you have a video stream running, you may need to restart it after address retrieval.

• If passive testing is desired afterward, you may need to re-initiate the desired stream (such as a video

stream), because the stream may not be present after the interruption caused by disconnecting the

cable. For example, if you want to perform passive video testing, use the STB to select a channel to

start the stream.

Preliminary issue - Limited distribution only!
