Introduction

Application Description

CoaxManager™ software allows CoaxDATA™ device configuration, setting different modes of operation, checking installation state and links between devices. CoaxManager™ also allows configuration of QoS parameters, and other options such as activation of low-power modes for energy efficiency,

Features

Check coax or PLC installation obtaining links status and traffic rates between devices. Create PDF reports of network status for later analysis.
Allows basic device configuration setting MxU/HomeNetworking operating modes. Set Network password for create several system networks. You can install up to four masters
(each with a different key) on the same coaxial network.
®
EN
Allows configuration of QoS parameters supporting four priority levels based on IEEE 802.1Q
VLAN tags or IPv4 ToS (Type of Service).
Supports Advanced Features to configure IGMP, number of users or Low Power Mode.

System Requirements

Application works with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8 Application works on Mac OS X and Linux Operating systems with virtualization based on
Oracle VM VirtualBox software for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8.
Application requires installation of additional Winpcap library (http://www.winpcap.org/install/
default.htm). If library is not installed, CoaxManager automatically install on your PC.
System is fully Plug & Play and requires no installation of any additional software or drivers.

Supported CoaxDATA Devices

Following CoaxDATA devices are supported by application:
Ref.7689 CoaxDATA™ 200Mbps-HDTV
Ref.768973 CoaxDATA™ 200Mbps-HDTV 1xEth
Ref.769201 CoaxDATA™ 1Gbps-HDTV

Installing CoaxManager Application

CoaxManager application installed through an executable that guide the user through the installation process.
Language selection: This option selects setup language

Connecting CoaxDATA Modem to CoaxManager

After installing application, when CoaxManager start scan all computer ethernet interfaces trying to find connected devices. In the case of identifying a device already connected, get information associated therewith.
®
EN
Application provides two combos NIC Interface and Devices showing interfaces and devices that have been located within these interfaces. When pressed in combo Devices updates automatically
Network Devices list, showing local device (connected directly through ethernet) and all devices that it
has located within its network. .
Click on Connect/Disconnect Button to select which device you want to configure. Different
operations are available :
Read Config: Reads connected device configuration. This operation is performed automatically
when connected to a device.
Write Config: Write configuration on connected device. Configuration is changed through tab
GUIs.
Factory Defaults: Sets device to factory settings. Be careful with this option since restore to
factory configuration causes lose any settings you made on it. This button has the same effect as Factory Defaults button located on the front of the modems.
Help: This manual.

Once connected to device we have access to different tabs that show different information about it.
If you can not connect to device, verify that this is correctly connected via an Ethenet cable. If there is an intermediate switch or other network devices, are configured properly.

Device Configuration

8
Operation mode setting can be performed through Configuration tab, where shows device info and also those fields that configure device access mode, network password or transmission mask.
EN
Device Parameters displays information about device:
Firmware Version: Version Info of Device Firmware.
PIB Version: Device PIB Version (Parameters Information Block) . PIB stores user configuration
changes and contains firmware runtime parameters.
MAC Address: Device MAC Address. All Televes MAC Address start with 00:0E:7C
hexadecimal values and are registered on IEEE.
DAK key (Device Access key): Key established in the manufacturing process and determines
access to devices when it occurs remotely (via coaxial). Knowledge of this key is essential for updating/configuring devices remotely, although default DAK key value is always the same, on manufacturing proccess, simplifying devices configuration.
www.televes.es
Televes
NMK key (Network Management Key): Key set by the user and allows creation of different
data networks named AVLN. This 128bit hexadecimal key, is generated based on the Network Password field value using a hash algorithm. NMK key determines whether a slave can connect to a master or not and only devices with the same NMK can be connected together.
NET ID, MDF ID, USR ID: Description fields determining the network name, Televes product
description and user description, done by the installer. Installer can change descriptions that make sense in the coaxial network as the location of the modem, its role in the network or who is using it.
MDU mode: Indicates whether MDU mode is active or not.
CCo mode (Central coordinator): CCo is responsible for coordinating communications
between devices. In MDU, a CCO is always a master, in HomeNetworking is determined randomly formed networks, not always the same, and all devices can communicate with each other.

MDU Configuration

Sets operating mode of the device.
9
®
EN
Home Networking: This is default mode setting
at the factory and allows the creation of a local area network where all devices communicate with each other. These networks are usually created when the modem is used to extend internet services within a house. Default mode that is retrieved using the Defaults button.
MDU/MTU (Multi-Dwelling/Multi-Tenant Unit).
This mode uses current coaxial network on a building or house to communicate from the headend with each of modems installed on coaxial outlets, providing access to multiple dwellings without can communicate with each other. In this mode have two modes, master and slave.
If you select MDU option is necessary to specify which mode you want:
Master: CoaxDATA operate in master mode and is typically installed in the headend, as
described in CoaxDATA product manual. Master controls when the slaves can access the medium synchronizing transmissions and avoiding slave conflicts.
Slave: modem will be installed in a coaxial outlet, as indicated in CoaxDATA product manual.
