CHAPTER 1
BASIC ILLUSTRATION
1.1 CONNECT THE MoCA ADAPTER
For a ‘point to point’ connection, you need two adapters. The first MoCA adapter is connected to
the Cable modem or Router, the second adapter at the other end of the coaxial cable:
1. Connect one of the LAN ports of the Router or Cable modem to the LAN-1 port of
the first adapter.

P a g e | 4
2. Connect the coaxial cable that runs through the house to the ‘Coax’ port of the
first adapter.
3. (if applicable) Connect the coaxial cable coming from the outdoor network to the
TV port of the first adapter.
4. On the receiving end, connect to the MoCA port of the MoCA adapter.
5. TL-MC84 has two available Ethernet ports that can be used to connect up to two
network devices. (** The Ethernet ports are Gigabit Ethernet Ports**)
1.2 INSTALLATION NOTES
Up to 16 adapters can be mounted in the network
If you are you using a coax amplifier, place the MoCA adapter behind the coax
amplifier.
Avoid using multiple taps in your coaxial network (a multi-tap topology distributes
the signal with very high attenuations between ports).

INSTALLALLING THE MoCA ADAPTER
2.1 INSTALLATION ITEMS
TL-MC84 comes in a plug and play condition. If the user may choose to make changes to the
network adapter, changes can be made on the Web GUI by following the instructions as
illustrated below:
2.2 CONNECT TO THE DEVICE VIA WEB NMS
** Adapters have their own IP address (192.168.144.200).
Connect the adapter to your computer via a network cable.
Change the IP address of your computer to 192.168.144.100
On your browser, enter 192.168.144.200
Once prompted for the credentials to login, kindly use factory default settings as printed on the
label at the back of your MoCA2.5 adapter. ** Factory default:
Username: admin
Password: admin
** Username and password are case-sensitive.

2.2.1 MoCA SETTINGS MENU (WEB NMS)
1. Network Search Enabled: If this option is checked, the adapter finds other
adapters in the network and can be found by others as well. The factory default
setting is set to be ‘checked’
2. LOF (lowers frequency): This is set by the supplier at 1350MHz. Please note, if
you reset the adapter or return the adapter to the factory settings, the LOF will be
1150mHz. Set the LOF to the desired frequency, save and reboot the MoCA
adapter.
** All MoCA adapters in the network have to have the same LOF to be effective.
3. Tx Power: This is the MoCA adapter transmission power.
** Default: 10 (2dBm).
4. Beacon Power Level: The MoCA adapter Beacon transmission power can be set
to be detected by other MoCA adapters to establish the communication between
the MoCA adapters.
5. Preferred NC: Set the primary MoCA adapter to NC.

2.2.2 DEVICE SETUP MENU (WEB NMS)
Device Setup
1. IP address, Netmask & Gateway: The network configuration of the device can be
changed to manage the device on your home network.
2. MoCA Telnet: The default setting is set to –‘Enable’.

P a g e | 11
2.2.3 SECURITY MENU (WEB NMS)
Security
1. The user may change the default password on this page. The default login is
printed at the back of the adapter.
2. Once the password is changed, save and reset (reboot) the adapter for the
changes to take effect.
3. You can also change the network security password for the adapter in the
network. Only if all adapters in the network have the same network security
password - the adapters can communicate with each other.

2.2.4 DEVICE STATUS MENU (WEB NMS)
Device Status
** One can monitor the status of the adapter on this page.

2.2.6 UPGRADE MENU (WEB NMS)
Upgrade
If there is a firmware upgrade available from the vendor, you will first have to download the new
firmware to your computer before uploading to the adapter via the ‘Choose file’ option. Once the
upgrade is complete, reset (reboot) the adapter for changes to take effect.
