Introduction
Congratulations for purchasing the ScreenBeam ECB6250 MoCA 2.5
Network Adapter. The Adapter is a simple, flexible solution for extending
a home network. By leveraging the ubiquity of coaxial cabling within the
modern home, the Adapter provides an Ethernet Internet port anywhere
a coaxial connection is available.
This user manual explains the procedures needed to connect the Adapter.

Getting Started

Connecting the Adapter is a relatively simple process. First, connect one
Adapter to the broadband modem or router and the coaxial network to
establish the Internet signal. Then, additional Adapters can be installed
throughout the home or office at any location Ethernet Internet access is
needed, and an available coaxial port is available.
Connecting the First Adapter
The first Adapter must be connected to the broadband modem or router
and the coaxial network. This Adapter takes the Internet signal from the
modem/router and delivers it to the coaxial network.
To connect the first Adapter:
1. Connect a coaxial cable to a nearby coaxial outlet.
2. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the Coax In coaxial port
on the side of the Adapter.
3. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the
modem/router.
4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port
on the side of the Adapter.
5. Plug the provided power adapter into the Power port on the side
of the Adapter.
6. Plug the other end of the power adapter (external, 5V DC, 2A,
made by APD, model #WB-10E05FU) into an electrical outlet.

Connecting the Adapters

When complete, the setup should look similar to the figure below:
The Internet signal is now being delivered across the coaxial network.
MoCA Protected Setup (MPS)
By default, MoCA encryption is disabled to ensure that the individual
devices can “see” each other. If you would like to enable MPS, you
will need to login to the firmware loaded on the Adapter. To do this,
enter the following URL in a web browser on a computer connected
via Ethernet to the Adapter:

You will be asked to login. The user name is “admin" and the password is
“actiontec”. Once you have enabled MoCA encryption, you can use the
MPS push button to synchronize the encryption password on each MoCA
2.5 adapter connected via coaxial cable.
Using a Coaxial Splitter
If the coaxial port is already being used by another device (a set-top
box, for example), follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the coaxial cable from the connected device. Leave
the other end connected to the coaxial wall outlet.
2. Get a 2-way coaxial splitter (not included).
3. Connect the coaxial cable disconnected in step 1 to the single
(“In”) port on the coaxial splitter.
4. Connect a coaxial cable (not included) to one of the dual (“Out”)
ports on the coaxial splitter.
5. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable from step 4 to the
coaxial port on the device (disconnected in step 1).
6. Connect another coaxial cable (not included) to one of the dual
(“Out”) ports on the coaxial splitter.
7. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable from step 6 to the coaxial
port of the Adapter.
When complete, the setup should look similar to the inset diagram in the
figure on the preceding page.

Connecting the Adapters

If necessary, additional Adapters can be placed at locations around the
home or office that need an Ethernet Internet connection, but currently only
have a coaxial port.
To connect additional Adapters:
1. Connect a coaxial cable to a nearby coaxial outlet.
2. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the Coax In coaxial port
on the side of the Adapter.
3. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the
modem/router.
4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port
on the side of the Adapter.
5. Plug the provided power adapter into the Power port on the side
of the Adapter.
