1.4.15 Important MoCA module compatibility note
The “next generation” (P5) base unit is designed for use with the newer combined MoCA/RF module.
The older, standalone MoCA module may be used with this base unit; however, some anomalies may be
present due to the older feature set supported by that module. Most notably, the standalone module
supports the MoCA standard up to v1.1 only, which may result in the following behavior:
• On a bandwidth table, the bandwidth between any v2.0 nodes will display as zero, because it cannot
be read.
• For v2.0 nodes, the bit loading graphs on the statistics pages will be inaccurate.
Other behavioral aberrations may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use the combined module
whenever possible.
1.5 Remote control of the unit
With a VNC client on a PC or mobile device, you can operate the unit remotely over a network
connection, instead of using the actual touchscreen and physical keypad.
1.5.1 About VNC
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a technology that allows the graphical interface of one computer
(such as the display screen of the unit) to be rendered on another networked computer, where it can be
operated as if it were the original. In the case of the Tech-X Flex, VNC control means that the screen can
be displayed on a client PC or mobile device, where:
• On a PC, the unit accepts mouse clicks and keyboard entries on the VNC screen as if they were
physical touches on the touchscreen and keypad entries, respectively.
• On a mobile device, the device touchscreen assumes identical functionality to the unit touchscreen,
with respect to taps and other physical interactions.
In all cases, when the screen is manipulated on the PC or mobile device, the actual screen on the unit
responds and changes as if it were being used directly.
Many users may find important uses for VNC remote control, such as:
