Figure 7-15 Bridging example - Incorrect
NOTE: In the case where a WAN and LAN both operate on the same cable, the unit can bridge a single
channel only. See Bridging a cable with multiple networks on page 7-22 for important details on
this and other operational details.
Bridging a cable with multiple networks
The unit bridges a single MoCA channel only. Therefore, for architectures where a LAN and WAN both
operate on the same cable, one network will be effectively blocked while the unit is synchronized with the
other, at the point where the unit is connected. In most circumstances, this will have no adverse effect on
the network or related testing, as most devices belong to a single network only. If the unit is configured as
recommended in this documentation, no disruption of overall LAN/WAN functionality should occur.
7.4.3 Passive video testing
From the main in-line testing menu (Figure 7-13 on page 7-20) you can select Passive Tests > Unicast
Video QoS or Passive Tests > Multicast Video QoS to launch a passive video quality measurement
test. From the standpoint of input parameters and test results, these tests are identical to their active,
single-ended counterparts except that the unit does not join a video stream. Rather, it uses the specified
IP address and other identifying information to mirror an existing stream to the analysis software, leaving
the original stream unaffected. For more information on general setup for passive video testing, see
Bridge setup and operational details on page 7-21.
7.4.4 In-line MoCA statistics
When you select MoCA Statistics A Side or MoCA Statistics B Side from the main in-line menu, the
unit proceeds to statistics pages for the network on the respective side. All of the functions in these
