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: TRANSLITE-TL-MC85-Ethernet-Over-Coax-Adapter-
fig1

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-MC85 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 you 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).

INSTALLING THE MoCA ADAPTER

INSTALLATION ITEMS
TL-MC85 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 login, 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.

TL-MC85 SETTINGS MENU (WEB NMS)

TRANSLITE-TL-MC85-Ethernet-Over-Coax-Adapter-fig6

Band： TL-MC85 supports three bands, D-Ext (1125~1675mhz), D- Low(1125~1225MHz), D-High(1350~1675MHz).
Network Search Enabled: when ‘checked’ turns on the frequency scanning.
LOF (Last Operating Frequency): This is set by the supplier at 1150MHz. 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 specifies the maximum power, normalized to 10. Once network is formed, automatic TX power control will.
Beacon Power Level: This specifies the power the Network Coordinators uses to transmit the beacon, normalized to 10.
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.
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.

TL-MC85 MoCA adapter supports MoCA Protected Setup (MPS) feature. This feature simplifies the setup of new nodes by a unique password that is shared through a MPS push-button. When you use the MPS feature in the default configuration, you must press on the push-buttons of the nodes within two minutes to achieve pairing for privacy.

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.
