Always make s re to connect all coaxial cables and network cables before connecting the power cable. This
m st be done to avoid electrical shock and to avoid damage to the nit. Gro nd loops might b ild p eno gh
electrical charge to give an electrical shock if not properly connected before connecting the power cord. Make
s re to connect the Cable TV (CATV) amplifier’s gro nd connection to the Controller nit if both the CATV
amplifier and Controller are installed in the same physical location. If the CATV-amplifier is located far away on
the coaxial network, the Controller nit m st not be gro nded beca se this will create a gro nd loop.
When Using the Controller
The Controller is designed to operate on 48 VDC. If the nit is not powered sing the power s pply delivered
with the Controller , b t in any other way directly or indirectly with 48 VDC, a 3 A f se must be fitted to the
power cable.
Please observe the following:
• Do not stick any foreign objects, like metal or flammable objects into the Controller or its ventilation holes,
as this can ca se fire or electric shock.
• Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
- High voltages which can ca se severe electric shocks are present inside the Controller . For any
inspection, adj stment, and repair work please contact yo r local InCoax dealer. The warranty is void if
the cover is opened.
- Never attempt to repair this prod ct yo rself. Improper repair work can be dangero s. Never
disassemble or modify this prod ct. Tampering with this prod ct may res lt in inj ry or fire.
• Do not handle the power s pply pl g with wet hands as this may ca se electric shocks.
• Do not se in locations s bject to high h midity or d st levels, as this may ca se damage to the eq ipment
or start a fire.
• Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, p ll on the
pl g body, not the cable.
• Do not damage a power cable, make any modifications to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place
it near any hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or p ll it. To do so may ca se fire and electric shock. Yo
sho ld discard the power cable if it is damaged in any way.
• The power cable shall also be discarded if the pl g is damaged.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the Controller .
• Sec rely insert the power s pply pl g as far as it will go.
• Before moving the Controller npl g all cables connected to it.
It is recommended to npl g the power s pply from the wall o tlet or the nit if the Controller is not going to
be sed for any prolonged length of time.
Network Requirements
Please consider the following d ring the installation of the Controller .
The risk of potential differences and the spread of voltage from fa lty eq ipment are largely linked to the
design of the power installation in the b ilding. If the coax connections are not galvanically separated according
to the standard EN60728 then a galvanic separator, e.g. Soontai Isolator IS9 SG, shall be sed between the coax
connection and the Controller .
In terms of potential eq alization, the EN 50083-1 and EN60728 shall be followed. Cable distrib tion systems
shall be designed and constr cted so that no dangero s voltages can occ r in the external cond ctors of any
cables or in metal cases on passive parts.
Warning
If the Controller is installed in an environment where the s rro nding temperat re is at least 50
o
C (degrees
Celsi s), the coax connectors can reach a temperat re of at least 85
o
C. In this case the coax connectors m st
not be covered with or in contact with comb stible materials d e to the risk of fire.

Installation Environment
Install the Controller in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (s ch as motors), vibration,
d st, and direct expos re to s nlight.
Install the Controller in a fairly cool and dry place for the acceptable temperat re and h midity operating
ranges. See section 4 for the act al temperat re ranges.
Install the Controller on a st rdy, level s rface that can s pport at least 5 kg (11 lbs) of weight. Leave at least
10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front for the coax cables.
Connect a 75-ohm terminator (F-connector) in all coax ports that are not sed on the Controller.
Storage Environment
The ideal storage location is a dry and well ventilated location, e.g. in a space with climate-control. Please refer
to section 4 on page 36 for more details abo t the specified environmental conditions.

1Introduction
1.1 The In:xtnd™ System
InCoax™ is a provider of broadband access sol tions leveraging existing in-b ilding coaxial cable networks. The
In:xtnd System consists of a Management System (In:xtnd™ | Manage) which manages Controllers (In:xtnd™ |
Control) installed in, or near, b ildings and Modems (In:xtnd™ | Access ) installed in c stomers’ homes. An
ill stration of the management system can be seen in Figure 1. The Modem is easily installed by the c stomers
witho t any req irements for config ration. This architect re makes the system very flexible. Once the
Controller has been installed in, or near, the b ilding the only req ired operation to connect new c stomers is
to provide them with a Modem. As soon as the Modem has been connected to the coax network, it will
a tomatically be detected and properly config red by the Controller thro gh the Management System.
The typical In:xtnd System consists of one Management System which handles h ndreds of Controllers and
tho sands of Modems. If there is a legacy cable-TV service in the b ilding the TV signal can be m ltiplexed with
the broadband signal sing the Diplexer (In:xtnd™ | Combine). The Management System is sed as a c stomer
config ration, monitoring, and provisioning tool thro gh a web interface. In larger networks the Controller
f nctions sed by the Management System can be accessed by any other provisioning system or Operating
S pport System thro gh a SOAP/XML interface.
Figure 1 — Overview of the Management System.
1.2 The In:xtnd™ | Manage | MA2.5
The Management System is a software package installed in a Lin x environment. It manages the Controllers
and Modems. The Management System a tomatically detects new Modems and manages the mapping of
s bscriber data. It also collects and presents comm nication statistics parameters and priorities. F rthermore,
it meas res and presents the RF link q ality in real time and handles vario s alarms to the operator.
1.3 The In:xtnd™ | Control | MA2.5 | 4
The Controller acts as a bridge between the Ethernet access network and c stomers’ local area Ethernet, sing
the in-b ilding coaxial network as transport for data traffic to the Modems. The Controller comm nicates with
all Modems, over dedicated RF channels, in the coaxial network to manage their individ al config ration,
enforces traffic, and sec rity policies. It also collects and stores traffic statistics data from the network.
1.4 The In:xtnd™ | Access | MA2.5 | 2
The Access Modem is an Ethernet network terminal. It connects to any antenna o tlet in the s bscribers’
homes for easy self-installation. It comm nicates with the Controller to get config ration parameters and
connects to the s bscribers’ local area Ethernet (e.g. s ally a residential gateway) sing Ethernet CAT cables
with RJ45 pl g. (InCoax recommends sing CAT5e cable type as a minim m for best performance.) The
firmware of the Modem can be pgraded from the Controller.

1.5 The In:xtnd™ Quality of Service
The In:xtnd Controller s pport p to fo r q e es, broadcast, and m lticast Q ality of Service (QoS),
prioritization between nicast and broadcast/m lticast and classification. Unicast QoS can be set individ ally
for each Modem.

location
Text string describing the location of the Modem. Set to A to discover
when the Modem has been a tomatically detected and added by the
Controller. This can be changed when the Modem has been added.
Service VLAN n id
n = 1 - 4
User added VLAN
Defines which of the VLAN’s available on the Controller that co ld be
available in the Modem. If there is a Service Defa lt VLAN it will show p
as a s ggestion.
DHCP Option 82 User defined DHCP Relay Agent Information Option parameters
DHCP Max Clients User defined Defines max. conc rrent clients that are allowed to connect to this
Modem. 0 (zero) means nlimited.
Admission Allowed On/Off [On] Defines whether the Modem is allowed to be associated with the
Controller or not. Check the checkbox to allow admission.
Automatic Power
Control
On/Off [On]
Enable or disable a tomatic power control. The benefit with a tomatic
power control is that the risk of interfering with other analog e devices
is red ced d e to overall lower transmit power levels. External
interference problems can be red ced / avoided by disabling the power
control mechanism. Power control is enabled when the checkbox is
checked.
Power 0 - 10 [10]
This parameter sets the transmit power level when a tomatic power
control is disabled and sets the max. power level when a tomatic power
control is enabled. Each red ction in the index is a 3dB red ction in the
transmit power level.
When sing the Power Amplifier (PA, "PA On") in the Controller, the
MoCA chip needs to back off to avoid sat ration of the PA, so the max.
TX Power sho ld be set to 8 or less to avoid sat ration of the PA.
When NOT sing the Power Amplifier (PA, "PA Off") in the Controller,
max. TX Power sho ld be set to 10.
Power Control Rate
0 - 680 Mbps
[680]
This parameter is the req ired physical bit rate that will be targeted in
the a tomatic power control mode and is the speed per 100 MHz
channel. If the target MAC rate is 2500 Mbps MAC rate, the Power
Control Rate sho ld be set to 680 Mbps (5 × 680 Mbps = 3400 Mbps PHY
rate), as a lot of the PHY rate capacity will be sed for the MoCA Access
2.5 based MAC.
PA/Attenuation [Off/Off]
Amplified o tp t and/or atten ated inp t. (Defa lt Off/Off). Observe
that “PA On” req ires the ser to modify the Power parameter
described above.
US Speed limit [0]
Max. pstream traffic from the Modem. The defa lt val e of zero, 0,
means that no pstream limit is applied in the Modem and all policing is
done in the Controller.
MoCA Band [A-D] Choose freq ency range. Options A-A/A-B/A-C/A-D or
A-E.

3.3.3.2 Adding Modems Automatically
Before starting to add Modems a tomatically, it is good to check how they are going to be
config red. Adding Modems a tomatically can save a lot of time, b t the opposite can also be
tr e if the defa lt settings for the Modems are wrong.
1. Set Service default in the Controller.
2. In the main men , hover over MODEMS and click on SERVICES.
3. Click on the name default in the col mn SERVI E in the displayed table. (See Figure 9. )
4. Set the desired defa lt settings.
5. Connect the power to the Modem(s).
6. The Modem(s) will soon be fo nd by the Controller and will be correctly associated.
Figure 9 — Overview of the Modem Services.
3.3.3.3 Service
A service is a config ration template for Modems. A “defa lt service” always exists on a Controller. This service
can be edited b t it cannot be deleted. The service on the Controller sho ld not be sed if yo are sing the
InCoax Management System (Manage). Please see section 3.7.6 on page 32 and the Manage User Man al for
more information.
3.3.3.3.1 Adding a New Service to a Modem
1. In main men , hover over MODEMS and click on SERVICES.
2. Click on ADD SERVICE in the Options panel to the far right in Figure 9 .
3. Config re the parameters and make s re the checkbox Service active is marked. See Figure 10 , Figure 11 ,
and Table 4 .
4. Click on the b tton Add at the bottom of the web page.
5. In the main men , hover over MODEMS and click on OVERVIEW . Yo will then come to the page seen in
Figure 6 .
6. Assign the new service to one of the Modems by clicking the symbol ( SET ) on the selected Modem.
