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.

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-MC85 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).

MoCA adapter.
** All MoCA adapters in the network have to have the same LOF to be effective.
4. Tx Power: This specifies the maximum power, normalized to 10. Once network is
formed, automatic TX power control will.
5. Beacon Power Level: This specifies the power the Network Coordinators uses to
