1. ntroduction
TECW 211 installation example (2 devices to create a network)
The TECW 211 is a multi-purpose Ethernet over coaxial cable bridge device. It can be used in a number of
different wa s to deliver Gigabit Ethernet connection via an existing coaxial (TV aerial or cable TV) connection. It
offers Wi-Fi dual band 2.4 and 5GHz in order to improve our local WLAN Wi-Fi coverage in our home
installation
It can be used as either a sender or receiver but it will need to be used with at least one other TRIAX Ethernet
over Coax compatible device. This can be either
• TEOC 211: Ethernet over Coax device (compatible with cable or terrestrial TV signals)
• TECW 211: Ethernet over Coax + Wi-Fi dual band device (compatible with cable or terrestrial TV
signals)
A Maximum of 16 TEOC 211 or TECW 211 devices can be used in an in home network
Each being able to send and receive Gigabit Ethernet via the existing TV aerial or cable TV cabling structure that
is alread installed in the home
The following pages show the most common configurations. For more detailed installation examples please visit

connection examples.
TV+WWW connectors from several TEOC 211/TECW 211 need to
be connected together to create the private network.
TV
Offer TV signals to be connected to TV set (output) or to the
terrestrial / cable arrival signal (input). See connection examples.
2. First time configuration
•
Quick connection
In all cases (terrestrial or cable network), the first TEOC 211 adapter needs to be connected to our
house Internet access (Cable modem, ISP modem,…) via the supplied Ethernet patch cord, to get
an Ethernet signal into the s stem.
• Connexion to a terrestrial television distribution system
Make a connection from a free OUTPUT on the TV aerial distribution amplifier to the “TV+WWW” F
connector on the TEOC 211 adapter. It is essential that the first TEOC 211 adapter is onl
connected to an OUTPUT port of the amplifier, as the Ethernet over coax signal cannot pass
through an amplifier.

At the second end where the Ethernet and Wi
-
Fi signals are wanted, ou need to use a TECW 211
(with build-in Wi-Fi extender). On this second device, connect the “TV+WWW” F connector to the
wall outlet (TV port).
To remake the connection to the TV or a DVB-T set top box, so that the signal is passing through
the TECW 211, use the supplied coaxial fl lead between the TECW 211 “TV” port and our TV or
STB.
Connect an Ethernet devices – Smart TV, Game console, Blu-ra pla er, IP Set top Box etc. using
the supplied Ethernet patch cord. Connect our wireless devices b reading the instructions
detailed later in this user manual concerning the Wi-Fi settings.
Power up the 2 devices (TEOC 211 and TECW 211), the link between the devices is established
automaticall , this is confirmed when the LED is ON. (It ma take a few minutes to link.). The
terrestrial or cable TV signal can be passed through the device.

The schematics below illustrate how to create our fist network. More schematics examples are
available on www.triax.com
Before using the device, we recommend ou to directl connect our PC to the LAN of the device
using an Ethernet cable. Usuall our computer is setup to obtain an IP address automaticall and
ou don’t need to change it.

3. Detailed settings
In order to setup the TECW 211 device, ou need to know its IP address. Connected to our local
network (WLAN), the TECW 211 will get automaticall its IP address from our WLAN thanks to
the DHCP function.
The “UdpDiscover ” PC Tool program supports Windows 7/8/10.
To find the TECW 211 IP address, ou can:
• run the TRIAX “UdpDiscover ” PC Tool from the TRIAX web site, install it on our PC to
find and configure the TECW 211.
• Use the Windows UPnP to find the device.
Double-click the device to open the web page of the device. Click “Refresh” to renew the window.

Threshold
The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are
fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low
setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great
deal of radio interference.
RTS Threshold
The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues a
request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold
setting can be useful in areas where man client devices are associating
with the device, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect
onl the device and not each other. You can enter a setting ranging from 0
