1. Introduction
With the G.hn modem G4201C you can easily extend
your network via existing coaxial cables.
It can use any type of coaxial cable for data transmission
and achieves a speed of approx. 1600 Mbit/s (sum of
both transmission directions).
The units can be connected both "point-to-point" (one
master and one client) and "point-to-multipoint" (one
master and up to 15 clients).
In networks with more than 15 clients distributed over
several coaxial cables, a G.hn switch G4200C can be used
(see installation). It provides the full bandwidth of 1600
Mbit/s on each cable strand, up to 90 clients are
supported. The switch also enables central
administration of all G.hn components.

6. Installation
Variant 1 –„Point-to-Point “:one G4201C Master (or Switch G4200C) and G4201C Client
Variant 2 –„Point-to-Multipoint “: one G4201C Master (or Switch G4200C) and multiple G4201C Clients
7. Installation notes
The G.hn modem can be connected directly to a coaxial cable or to a wall socket (TV/SAT/multimedia socket). If you
want to connect the modem to a wall socket, always use a DATA connection that is return-channel capable in the range
2-200 MHz.
The coaxial cables can be connected via splitters, pass-through boxes, feed-in crossovers, distributors and SAT multi-
switches with return channel capability - this automatically creates a common network.
Maximum range of the G.hn connection depends essentially on the type of cable used. Typical values for RG-6 coaxial
cable: connection possible up to approx. 1300 meters, maximum bandwidth of 1600 Mbit/s - up to approx. 300 metres.
It is possible to transmit other information (e.g., SAT TV channels) on the same coaxial line parallel to the G.hn signal.
Sufficient safety distance to the G.hn signal must be maintained (up to 240MHz).
8. Administration
IP-adress: 192.168.10.252 (master), 192.168.10.253 (client). Login passwort: paterna, Factory reset passwort: betera
Login via web interface
Connect your computer to the G.hn modem via the GE port.
Assign a fixed IP address to your computer,
e.g. 192.168.10.100 (network mask 255.255.255.0).
Open a web browser and connect to 192.168.10.252 or
192.168.10.253.
Log in with the default password: paterna

9. Query of the negotiated bandwidth
The bandwidths negotiated by the units for both transmission directions can be queried via the web interface of each unit.
For each client modem, the connection between this client and the master is displayed, for the master modem - all
client/master connections.
The values shown are gross data transfer rates on the physical layer (PHY). The transmission rate at the application level is
approx. 15-20% lower.
