MoCA Setup
Name You can select the adapter name here to indicate the location
of the device.
LOF The Last Operating Frequency (LOF) parameter identies the
frequency (in MHz) that the MoCA Ethernet Adapter uses to
transmit beacon for joining the MoCA network.
Tx Power The Tx power parameter is the maximum transmit power of the
MoCA Ethernet Adapter. Each incremental value increases the
transmit power by 3dB. The following table lists the transmit
power for each setting.
value 10 9 8 7 6 4 3 2 15 0
dBM 2 -1 -4 -7 -10 -13 -16 -19 -22 -25 -28
Beacon Power Level The beacon power level is the maximum power of the MoCA
Ethernet Adapter for beacon transmission power. The value
range is from 1 to 10. Each incremental value increases the
beacon transmit power by 3dB. When the MoCA Ethernet
Adapter is set up with a higher beacon power level, it may
interfere with the video devices connected to the coaxial cable.
Please leave it at the default setting if you are not sure what
value to use.
