Overview

The MWA1221 (MoCA to Wireless Adapter) product can be used in multiple deployment configurations. This

user manual address the below configurations:

 In this case, the MWA1221 is connected with the home gateway via MoCA (MoCA Backhaul mode) and it

extends data coverage to other unmanaged devices which would otherwise be out of reach to the main

gateway. The MWA1221 behaves like a WiFi extender. In parallel, MWA1221 can also bridge traffic on

the Ethernet interface to another device connected to it via Ethernet. Additionally, MWA1221 is equipped

with Power Over Ethernet (PoE) and thus would be able to provide power to the device connected over

Ethernet as per the 802.3af standard ([IEEE 802.3] Section 2, Annex 33).

 In this case, the MWA1221 is connected with the home gateway via Ethernet (Ethernet Backhaul model)

and it extends data coverage to other unmanaged devices which would otherwise be out of reach to the

main gateway. MWA1221 behaves like a WiFi extender.

Initialization

and

Operations

In order to ensure consistent operation of MWA1221 devices, this section describes the specific conditions and

sequences for startup of the MWA1221 under a set of nominal and anomalous operating conditions. The use of the

term Mode within this specification is set of functional requirements that do not dictate any specific system or

software design or implementation.

Term

Definition

Boot

Mode

The first MWA1221 Mode at the start of each power cycle or

reset process. Boot Mode checks code validity prior to

allowing code to execute, if successful then execute and run

the code.

Connect

Mode

When the MWA1221 is attempting to establish

communications with the backhaul device.

Normal

Mode

The MWA1221 has established communication with the

backhaul device and is able to pass messages back and forth

between them.

CDL

(Code

Download)

Mode

The MWA1221 supports TR069 Download RPC method to

load the new image.

Boot

Mode

The MWA1221 product supports the Boot Mode process as illustrated in the following figure:

The MWA1221 would be in Boot Mode when power is first applied or a reboot/restart of code image has occurred.

The MWA1221 supports maximum two code image stored within flash. The execution options are:

a) It would attempt to execute and run the existing code image if only a single code image is stored within

flash

b) It would attempt to execute and run the current code image if a current and a previous code image are

stored within flash

c) It would execute and run the previous code image if the APS fails to execute and run the current code

image and when both a current and previous code image are stored within flash.

The MWA1221 would transition to Connect Mode if the code image successfully executes and runs.
