What is MoCA®
In short, MoCA® is connecting internet devices via the (existing) coax net-
work.
MoCA® adapters ensure that the (existing) coax cable is suitable for watching
TV and at the same time an Ethernet connection is made between your cable
modem and your network equipment. This is possible because separate fre-
quencies are used for the TV and the internet, so that no mutual interference
occurs.
What do you need for the MoCA® connection
For a network with MoCA® adapters you need at least 2 MoCA® adapters.
The 1st MoCA® adapter is connected to your cable modem. The 2nd MoCA®
adapter is connected to your Media box via the coax network.
Here we describe how to connect 2 MoCA® adapters in a coax network and
how to test the connection.
Mouting your 1st MoCA® adapter (to your cable modem)
• Connect a coaxial connection cable between the output of the splitter
mounted on the Isolator and the “IN OUT” connector of the MoCA® adapt-
er.
• Connect one of the available LAN ports of your cable modem to the LAN1
or LAN2 port of the 1st MoCA® adapter with a network cable.
For Subscribers connected to a Coax network

520200506Installation Instructions DualGig-2.5
• Find and label the coaxial cable that will connect (with or without passive
products) to the connector on your 2nd MoCA® adapter. Mount that coax-
ial cable to the “MOCA” connector of your 1st MoCA® adapter.
• Connect your 1st MoCA® adapter to the power adapter and press the
“ON/OFF” button. After a few seconds, the PWR LED on the MoCA®
adapter will illuminate.
Mounting your 2nd MoCA® adapter
• Connect your 2nd MoCA® adapter to your 1st MoCA® adapter by mount-
ing the coaxial cable coming from your 1st MoCA® adapter to the “MOCA”
connector of your 2nd MoCA® adapter.
For Subscribers connected to a Coax network

Installation Instructions DualGig-2.5 20200506 6
• Connect a Fmale-IECmale coaxial connection cable to the coaxial input
connector of your media box or television and the “IN-OUT” connector of
your 2nd MoCA® adapter (if necessary use the supplied coaxial cable and
the Ffemale/IECmale adapter).
• Connect one or two of your internet devices (for example a WiFi access
point, Sonos speaker, Apple TV, Ikea bridge, etc.) to LAN1 or/and LAN2.
You can use both LAN ports simultaneously.
• Only for subscribers with a media box that require both a coax and
Ethernet signal: connect a network cable (UTP) to the LAN1 or LAN2 and
connect it to the network input of your media box.
• Connect your MoCA® adapter to the power adapter and press the “ON/
OFF” button. After a few seconds, the PWR LED on your MoCA® adapter
will light up.

Mounting MoCA® adapter(s) in combination with a TV amplier.
• The diagram above gives an example of an indoor installation with a TV
amplier. MoCA® communication is only possible via the amplier outputs.
So all MoCA® adapters are connected behind the amplier of the coax
network.
The way of connecting the MoCA® adapters as described earlier does not
change.
Test your connection
The MoCA® adapters are already paired. To check whether they also send
and receive data, you can perform the following test.
• Connect one of the MoCA® adapters via its LAN1 or LAN2 to a LAN port
of your cable modem
• Connect a laptop to LAN1 or LAN2 from your other MoCA® adapter.
• Do a speed test and compare the result with the speed of your internet
subscription

MPS (MoCA®Protected Setup)
MPS is short for MoCA® Protected Setup. MPS simplies the way in which the
network is secured with a unique network password (in the menu item “Securi-
ty Settings” under “Enhanced Network Security”). If you want to use an unique
network password, each MoCA®-2.5 adapter you want to embed in your
network must have the same password under “Enhanced Network Security”.
You can do this manually via the menu, but you can also do this via the MPS
function.
From the factory, the Luster MoCA®-2.5 adapters receive the same net-
work password, use of the MPS is not required.
If the password has been changed, a new MoCA®-2.5 adapter to be added
will not be included in the network without using the MPS function if1
1. The existing MoCA®-2.5 adapters have their Privacy disabled and the
newly added MoCA®-2.5 adapter has its Privacy enabled, or
2. The existing MoCA®-2.5 adapters have their Privacy enabled and the
newly added MoCA®-2.5 adapter has its Privacy disabled or has a differ-
ent password entered.
Situation A: Existing network with 4 MoCA®-2.5 adapters
Situation A1 Existing MoCA®-2.5 adapters New MoCA®-2.5 adapter
Privacy enabled No unknown
Within 2 minutes, press the MPS button on one of the existing MoCA®-2.5
adapters and on the new MoCA®-2.5 adapter. Then the new MoCA®-2.5
adapter will connecte with Privacy disabled.
Situation A2 Existing MoCA®-2.5 adapters New MoCA®-2.5 adapter
Privacy enabled yes unknown
Within 2 minutes, press the MPS button on one of the existing MoCA®-2.5
adapters and on the new MoCA®-2.5 adapter. The new MoCA®-2.5 adapter
receives the password and is added to the network.
Situation B: 2 MoCA®-2.5 adapters want to form a network
Situation B1 MoCA®-2.5 adapter 1 MoCA®-2.5 adapter 2
Privacy enabled yes No

Installation Instructions DualGig-2.5 20200506 12
Press the MPS button on both MoCA®-2.5 adapters within 2 minutes. Both
MoCA®-2.5 adapters form a network with Privacy enabled.
Situation C: A network with MoCA®-2.0 adapters and MoCA®-2.5 adapters
Attention! In a network with both MoCA®-2.5 adapters and one or more
MoCA®-2.0 / 1.1 / 1.0 adapters, the MoCA®-2.5 adapter does not “see” the
other MoCA®-2.0 / 1.1 / 1.0 adapters.
Situation D: A network of MoCA®-2.5 adapters with different network pass-
words.
Method 1, manually.
• Mount all MoCA®-2.5 adapters according to instructions.
• Use the menu in all MoCA®-2.5 adapters to equalize the network pass-
word, click or “Save” and “Reboot”.
Method 2, with the MPS function (only works if all MoCA® adapters are type
2.5).
• Mount all MoCA®-2.5 adapters according to instructions, but do not turn
on the power yet.
• Turn on the power of one of the MoCA®-2.5 adapters, set the Privacy to
enabled via the menu of that MoCA®-2.5 adapter and create a network
password
• Turn on the power of the 2nd MoCA®-2.5 adapter and press the MPS
button on both MoCA®-2.5 adapters. Wait for the connection to be estab-
lished.
• Turn on the power of the 3rd MoCA®-2.5 adapter and press the MPS but-
ton and that of any of the other MoCA®-2.5 adapters. Wait for the connec-
tion to be established.
Repeat the previous step for each additional MoCA®-2.5 adapter.

Setting up your MoCA® adapter
The settings of your DualGig-2.5 MoCA® adapter are at the time of delivery
as such that mounting is “plug & play”. After connecting your adapters, no
additional settings in the adapters are necessary for the data transfer.
In the menu of each adapter are a number of settings so that you can adjust
some settings for that adapter, or if you want to know the speed between the
adapters, for example.
Open the menu
The adapter receives its IP address from your cable modem. You can nd
this IP address in the list of IP addresses in your cable modem. Type this IP
address in your address bar of your browser.
Can’t nd the address in the cable modem? Then it may be that the IP is
static and then uses this IP address: 192.168.144.200 (in that case connect
your PC or laptop to the MoCA® adapter and set the IP address of your
computer or laptop in the same network ID and give a different Host ID, e.g.
192,168.144.150).
A screen opens in which the password (default: admin) and the login code
(default: admin) are requested
Change your password and/or login as soon as possible via the menu.
On the following pages are the menu screens with a short explanation.

1520200506Installation Instructions DualGig-2.5
MoCA Settings
You can set the following here:
1. Adapter name. You can assign a local name to the adapter via a
dropdown list. You need at least 2 MoCA® adapters in your network. By
giving each adapter its own name, you can recognize them more easily if
you log in via the IP address.
2. Network search enabled. If you have these active, the MoCA® adapter
will start to search for other MoCA® adapters when booting from the LOF
(lowest frequency). If no MoCA® adapters are found (or a connection
cannot be established), the other bands are searched.
3. LOF (lowest frequency). This is set by the manufacturer at 1400 MHz.
Attention! If you reset the adapter or return it to factory settings, the LOF
is set to 1125 MHz. Setting the LOF: choose the frequency, click Save and
Reboot the MoCA® adapter. To make the LOF effective in the network, all
MoCA® adapters must have the same LOF.
4. Tx Power. The transmission power of the MoCA® adapter. Default:
position 10 (2 dBm).
5. Beacon Power Level. The signal power that the MoCA® adapter transmits
to contact other MoCA® adapters in the network.

6. Preferred NC. NC stands for Network Coordinator. One of the MoCA®
adapters is the “preferred NC” that starts the network between the MoCA®
adapters. This is often the rst MoCA® adapter to start up. If there is
no “preferred NC”, all MoCA® adapters will mutually determine an “NC”
which will take more time. To speed up start-up, make one of the MoCA®
adapters an “NC” and prevent multiple “NCs” from being present in the
network.
Device Setup
You can set the following here:
1. DHCP automatic conuration, Link local automatic conguration, DHCP
& Link local automatic conguration en Static IP address. If you want the
router of your cable modem to assign an IP address to the MoCA® adapt-
er, choose DHCP automatic conguration.
2. IP conguration. You can adjust the data here so that the menu can be
read in a different domain or set a different IP address in the existing do-
main. The network mask and gateway can also be adjusted.
3. MoCA Telnet. We advise not to change the default value “Enable”.

1720200506Installation Instructions DualGig-2.5
Security
You can set the following here:
4. Admin security setup, Old Password, New Password, Conrm Password.
The default login details are on the back of the adapter. You can adjust
this information here
5. Network security setup. Here you indicate whether you want to provide
a password to the band in which you work. Each band can have its own
password and only MoCA® adapters with the same password can connect
to each other. Note, all MoCA® adapters working together must have
the same password for that band. You do this manually or with the MPS
function.
6. Enhanced Privacy Enabled. An extra security of your data trafc.
Please note, all MoCA® adapters working together must have the same
password. You do this manually or with the MPS function.
