CHAPTER 1
BASIC ILLUSTRATION
CONNECT THE MoCA ADAPTER
For a ‘point to point connection, you need two adapters. The first MoCA adapter is connected to the Cable modem or Router, the second adapter at the other end of the coaxial cable:
- Connect one of the LAN ports of the Router or Cable modem to the LAN-1 port of the first adapter.
- Connect the coaxial cable that runs through the house to the ‘Coax’ port of the first adapter.
- (if applicable) Connect the coaxial cable coming from the outdoor network to the TV port of the first adapter.
- On the receiving end, connect to the MoCA port of the MoCA adapter.
- TL-MC84 has two available Ethernet ports that can be used to connect up to two network devices. ( The Ethernet ports are Gigabit Ethernet Ports)
INSTALLATION NOTES
- Up to 16 adapters can be mounted in the network
- If you are using a coax amplifier, place the MoCA adapter behind the coax amplifier.
- Avoid using multiple taps in your coaxial network (a multi-tap topology distributes the signal with very high attenuations between ports).

CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING THE MoCA ADAPTER
INSTALLATION ITEMS
TL-MC84 comes in a plug-and-play condition. If the user may choose to make changes to the network adapter, changes can be made on the Web GUI by following the instructions as illustrated below:
CONNECT TO THE DEVICE VIA WEB NMS
** Adapters have their own IP address (192.168.144.200).
Connect the adapter to your computer via a network cable.
Change the IP address of your computer to 192.168.144.100
On your browser, enter 192.168.144.200
Once prompted for the credentials to log in, kindly use factory default
settings as printed on the label at the back of your MoCA2.5 adapter. **
Factory default:
Username: admin
Password: admin
** Username and password are case-sensitive.
MoCA SETTINGS MENU (WEB NMS)
-
Network Search Enabled: If this option is checked, the adapter finds other adapters in the network and can be found by others as well. The factory default setting is set to be ‘checked’
-
LOF (lowers frequency): This is set by the supplier at 1350MHz. Please note, if you reset the adapter or return the adapter to the factory settings, the LOF will be 1150mHz. Set the LOF to the desired frequency, save and reboot the MoCA adapter.
** All MoCA adapters in the network have to have the same LOF to be effective. -
Tx Power: This is the MoCA adapter transmission power.
** Default: 10 (2dBm). -
Beacon Power Level: The MoCA adapter Beacon transmission power can be set to be detected by other MoCA adapters to establish communication between the MoCA adapters.
-
Preferred NC: Set the primary MoCA adapter to NC.
DEVICE SETUP MENU (WEB NMS)
Device Setup
- IP address, Netmask & Gateway: The network configuration of the device can be changed to manage the device on your home network.
- MoCA Telnet: The default setting is set to – ‘Enable’.
SECURITY MENU (WEB NMS)
Security
- The user may change the default password on this page. The default login is printed at the back of the adapter.
- Once the password is changed, save and reset (reboot) the adapter for the changes to take effect.
- You can also change the network security password for the adapter in the network. Only if all adapters in the network have the same network security password – the adapters can communicate with each other.
DEVICE STATUS MENU (WEB NMS)
Device Status
** One can monitor the status of the adapter on this page.
PHY RATES MENU (WEB NMS)
PHY Rates
Monitor data rates between all adapters in the network
UPGRADE MENU (WEB NMS)
Upgrade
If there is a firmware upgrade available from the vendor, you will first have
to download the new firmware to your computer before uploading to the adapter
via the ‘Choose file’ option. Once the upgrade is complete, reset (reboot) the
adapter for changes to take effect.
REBOOT MENU (WEB NMS)
Reboot (reset)
For remote management, one can reboot or in other words reset the device on
this page.
