1. Introduction
With the G.hn modem set G4202T CP-RPF and G4202TCP
you can easily expand your network and at the same time
supply the PoE/PoE+ compatible end devices (access points
s, IP camera as, IP phonee etc.) with power.
Both modems can be powered locally via a USB-C PD
power supply (max. 90W) or via the G.hn connection.
G4202TCP-RPF can also inject power into the G.hn
connection.
The modems can use any type of coaxial cable for data and
power transmission. The bandwidth is up to1.6.00MBbit/s,
the range is up to 600m. Connected end devices are
supplied with power via another 100m long Ethernet cable
according to the 802.3af/at standard.
The G4202TCP client can also be combined with a non-
PoX/PoE-capable G.hn master modem (such as G4201C or
G420 4C).
If there are multiple parallel connections over coaxial
cables, the G4224 Master Switch can be used. It provides
central administration of all G4202TCP clients.

5. Typical applications
Variant 1: G4202TCP-RPF Master + G4202TCP Client. Master draws power from the USB-C adapter, client - via G.hn link.
Variant 2: G4202TCP as client together with G4201C Master. G4202TCP draws power from the USB-C adapter.
Variant 3: G4202TCP as client on the G4224 switch. Eachswitch can power up to 24 clients, 4 of which are 90W.
6. Installation Notes
The G.hn modem can be connected directly to a coaxial cable as well as to an antenna socket. When connecting to an
antenna socket, use the "DATA" connector (5-862MHz). Other connections (TV, radio, SAT) are only suitable if they are
open in the frequency range 5-862MHz. Please refer to the information in the data sheet.
The negotiated bandwidth can be queried via the web interface of the devices (see point 9).
Further information and recommendations can be found on our homepage www.gigacopper.net under the heading
Support.
7. IP address
T he modems do not require IP addresses from the local network segment during operation, because they mediate data
traffic via the MAC addresses. By default, they do not obtain addresses from the local DHCP server.
If desired, static IP addresses can be configured or the DHCP client can be activated (menu "IP" in the web interface).

8. Administration
IP-Address: 192.168.10.252 (master), 192.168.10.253 (client). Login Password: paterna Work-Reset Password: betera
9. Query the negotiated bandwidth
The bandwidths negotiated by the devices for both transmission directions can be queried via the web interface of each
device. The reported values are gross data transfer rates at the physical layer (PHY). The transfer speed at the application
level is about 15-20% lower.
Registration via web interface
Connect your computer to the G.hn modem via the G1 or G2
port.
Assign your computer a fixed IP address,
e.g. 192.168.10.100 (netmask 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

10. Notching
11. VLAN usage in the network
T he devices support VLANs according to the 802.1Q standard.
In the factory setting, the VLAN tags are forwarded transparently. External Ethernet switches can be used for the formation
and use of VLANs.
Instead of external Ethernet switches, VLAN configuration can be done by the manageable G.hn switch G4224. Both
Ethernet ports of the G4202TCP-RPF and the G4202TCP modem can be configured independently of each other.
12. Use of Multicast IP-TV
13. Warranty
We offer a 12-month warranty on all products purchased from us. Full warranty terms can be found at
https://gigacopper.net/web/en/Guarantee_declaration.pdf
For compatibility with other signals in the frequency range 2-
200MHz, a reduction of up to 40dB or complete blocking
(100dB) of the required frequencies can be made in the G.hn
spectrum.
The setting must be configured in the master modem or G.hn
switch.
For the transmission of multicast IP-TV (e.g. Telekom
MagentaTV) in the network, "IGMP Snooping" must be
activated in the multicast configuration.
