Installing the MoCA

Adapters

 

This product is for indoor use only. Do not route the Ethernet cable(s) outside of the building. Exposure of the cables to lightning could create a safety hazard and damage the product.

Pre-installation Guidelines

You can quickly and easily set up your home MoCA network with the SBM1000 adapters. No additional wiring or hardware installation is required before starting this installation.

For homes with a pre-existing MoCA network, you can install one or more SBM1000 adapters to extend your network.

For homes with no pre-existing MoCA network or Ethernet-enabled devices, two or more SBM1000 adapters are needed to create a MoCA network.

Note: If there is no pre-existing MoCA network or MoCA-enabled set-top boxes in your home, you will need a minimum of two MoCA adapters to establish a MoCA Network.

The rooms that you are planning to be part of the home network must have an existing coaxial network connection. If the coaxial connection can receive broadcast television service, make sure that it is NOT receiving more than one of the following:

οOver-the-Air (OTA) Television from an antenna

οDirecTV Satellite

οTelco or Cable TV on the same coaxial cable

Getting Started

The following is a list of the general steps that you will perform to create your home MoCA network using the SBM1000 SMART Video Adapters:

Note: All the recommended components you will need for this installation are included in the SBM1000 adapter box and are referenced as “included” throughout the installation procedures.

Choose your type of network service provider from the Network Service Providers List.

Determine the home network installation scenario that best fits your current home network configuration See Home Network Installation Scenarios for the list of available network installation options.

Select the rooms that you want included in your home MoCA network. To qualify, each room must have an existing coaxial connection.

SBM1000 SMART Video Adapter Kit • User Guide

590631-001-a

 

Installing the MoCA Adapters

If there is no available cable connection in the room, then you must take the appropriate steps to install a cable connection. This may include reconfiguring the internal home coaxial wiring or adding external devices and cabling.

Install the first MoCA adapter and your Smart TV, set-top box, gaming devices, or other Ethernet-enabled devices in the first qualified room.

Install the second MoCA adapter and yourcomputer, cable modem/router, gateway, or other network access device in the second qualified room.

Check the connections on both MoCA adapters. Make sure the Coax LEDs on both adapters light SOLID within five minutes. This indicates that a coaxial link was established between the two adapters.

Note: If the Coax LEDs do not light SOLID within five minutes, you will have to disconnect the power adapter on both MoCA adapters and then reconnect them. If the Coax LEDs still fail to light SOLID, see Troubleshooting Solutions for more information.

Set up Internet access on both MoCA adapters - must have access to a computer on the network.

1.1 Installing for Cable with Separate Cable Modem & Router

Figure 7 – Cable Installation with Separate Cable Modem & Router

Follow these steps to set up the SBM1000 MoCA adapters in your home network, if you are receiving your Internet service through a cable modem and router:

1.Identify the rooms that you want to add to your home network and make sure there is a coaxial cable connection in each room.

2.Locate the cable wall outlet (or RF splitter) and electrical wall outlet in the first room (see Room 1 in Figure 7).

Note: Although the SBM1100 and SBM1400 adapters are interchangeable, the SBM1400 is typically located where more than one Ethernet connection is required (see Room 1 in Figure 7).

3.Check if the coaxial cable is connected to an RF splitter. If it is not, then disconnect the cable from your Smart TV or set-top box and connect it to the IN connector on one of the RF splitters (included).

4.Connect one of the coaxial cables (included) to the OUT connector on the RF splitter and your Smart TV or set-top box (see Figure 8).

Note: You can use either OUT connector on the RF splitter (included) for this installation.

5.Connect a second coaxial cable (included) to the other OUT connector on the RF splitter and the Coax In connector on the SBM1400 (see Figure 8).

10.Connect a third coaxial cable (included) to one of the OUT connectors on the RF splitter (included) and the Cable connector on your cable modem (see Figure 9).

Notes:

οYou can use either OUT connector on the RF splitter (included) for this installation.

οYou may want to install a MoCA filter (included) between your cable modem and RF splitter (see Figure 9) to ensure maximum cable modem network performance.

11.Connect a fourth coaxial cable (included) to the other OUT connector on the RF splitter and the Coax In connector on the SBM1100 adapter (see Figure 9).

12.Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the SBM1100 adapter and one of the LAN Ethernet ports on your router (see Figure 9).

Note: Make sure your router (WAN port) and modem (Ethernet port) are connected via an Ethernet cable.

13.Connect one of the power adapters (included) to the Power port on the SBM1100 and plug it into an electrical wall outlet (see Figure 9).

οThe Coax LEDs on both MoCA adapters should turn ON within five minutes to indicate that a secure coaxial link was established between the two adapters.

οIf the Coax LED does not turn ON within five minutes, disconnect the power adapter from both MoCA adapters and then reconnect them, if the Coax LEDs still fail to turn ON, see Troubleshooting Solutions for more information.

14.Power ON your Smart TV, set-top box, laptop, and any other Ethernet-connected devices.

You can now configure your Smart TV and other Ethernet-enabled devices for Internet access through their related user interfaces.
