Let’s get started

MoCA is a good way to connect a router or cable

modem/router to a distant device by using your home’s

coaxial (“coax”) cable. The device can be a computer, HDTV,

video streaming device, game station, streaming media player,

or other device that has an Ethernet LAN port for Internet

access. If there’s a coax network that runs near the router and

the device, you should be able to use MoCA.

MoCA is also a good way to connect your router to a wireless

access point, so you’ll have good wireless in a location that’s

far from your router. If you want to learn more about using

MoCA with a WiFi router, go to

www.MotorolaNetwork.com/MoCAWiFi

Your MoCA Adapter Model MM1000 is designed to work with

most coax networks including networks associated with cable

TV, cable Internet, and FiOS or another fiber optic network.

Your MoCA Adapter is NOT designed to work with DirecTV®,

Dish®, and other satellite networks, or with AT&T® Internet or

AT&T U-Verse®, since these services use frequencies that

conflict with your MoCA adapter.

Figure 1. MoCA Connecting a Cable Modem/Router to a

Device

You may not need a MoCA Adapter for

your router. Here's how to check.

a. If you have a Verizon® FiOS router, it probably has MoCA.

The MoCA signal goes through your FiOS router’s coax

connector to your coax cable network.

b. If you have a router for fiber optic service from another

provider and it has a coax cable attached to it, it probably

has MoCA.

c. If you have a cable modem/router, it may have MoCA.

There are a few ways to check. First, you can look at the

unit to see whether it has the word MoCA somewhere.

You can also look at the product’s specifications or its

browser-based configuration manager to see whether

MoCA is mentioned. You can also find some but not all

MoCA cable modem/routers listed at

http://www.mocalliance.org/products/index.htm . If

you have MoCA, the MoCA signal goes through your cable

modem/router’s coax cable into your coax cable network.

d. If you have a router that’s not a Verizon FiOS router,

another fiber optic router, or a cable modem/router, it

probably does not have MoCA.

If you have or probably have MoCA for your router already,

please jump to Installing a MoCA Adapter for an HDTV or

Other Device.

If you do not have MoCA for your router or cable

modem/router, please continue below at Installing a MoCA

Adapter for Your Router or Cable Modem/Router.

If you’re not sure, you can try jumping to Installing a MoCA

Adapter for an HDTV or Other Device and seeing whether

that works. If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to continue

directly below.

Installing a MoCA Adapter for Your

Router or Cable Modem/Router

Read this section only if you need a MoCA Adapter for

your router. Pages 3 and 4 describe how to check.

First go to your router or modem/router and connect as

shown below.

Figure 2. MoCA Connection to a Router that Doesn’t Have

Built-in MoCA

1. You always connect a coax cable to the MoCA Adapter’s

Network input and your coax network. Sometimes there’s

an available coax network jack or cable, so you don’t need

to disconnect anything. However, you may need to use

the coax cable that’s plugged into a nearby set-top box,

cable modem/router, or other device. It’s okay to

disconnect a coax cable from something, but then you

need to use the included coax cable between the MoCA

adapter’s DEVICE coax and the device you disconnected.

2. Next, connect the included Ethernet cable between the

MoCA adapter’s Ethernet jack and the LAN Ethernet jack

of the router or modem/router.

3. Plug the power cube into a live outlet, and make sure that

the On/Off button is On.

Installing a MoCA Adapter for an HDTV

or Other Device

Go to the device you’re connecting to the router, and connect

as shown below.

Figure 3. MoCA Connection for a Device

1. You always connect a coax cable to the MoCA Adapter’s

Network input and your coax network. Sometimes there’s

an available coax network jack or cable, so you don’t need

to disconnect anything. However, you may need to

connect the Network coax connector to a coax cable

that’s plugged into a nearby set-top box, router, or other

device. It’s okay to disconnect a coax cable from

something, but then you need to use the included coax

cable between the MoCA adapter’s DEVICE coax and the

device you disconnected.

2. Connect the included Ethernet cable between the MoCA

adapter’s Ethernet jack and the LAN Ethernet jack of the

device you’re connecting to the router via MoCA.

3. Plug the power cube into a live outlet, and make sure that

the On/Off button is On.

Once you have MoCA for your router and device, the Link

light should be lit for your MoCA Adapter(s). If it is lit, please

try using the device. If it’s able to access the Internet, your

device is working so you should read the next paragraph

below. If the Link light is not lit, check your wiring and try

power-cycling your MoCA Adapter(s). To power-cycle a

MoCA Adapter, just switch the MoCA Adapter off for a few

seconds, then switch it on. If your MoCA connection is still

NOT working, please go to the Troubleshooting Tips section.

If your MoCA connection IS working, please read the MoCA

Security section below. Also, note that you can connect more

devices (up to 16) via MoCA back to your router. For each

device you want to connect to its own MoCA Adapter, use the

MoCA Connection for a Device diagram on page 6.

MoCA Security

We recommend some form of MoCA security if you have

cable Internet service, especially if you are located within 150

yards (137 meters) of another home with cable Internet

service. If instead you have FiOS or some other form of

fiber optic Internet service, you already have MoCA

security so you don’t need to read this section.

MoCA security for cable Internet service comes from either of

the following:

•Add a PoE filter where the coax cable enters your home.

This prevents your MoCA signal from being transmitted to

one of your neighbors, and can also improve your cable

service’s signal.

•Program all your MoCA devices with the same MoCA

security key. In the unlikely event that you want to do this,

please see www.motorolanetwork.com/MoCAsecurity

For most people the PoE filter is easier and better. The PoE

filter doesn’t interfere with your TV and Internet, but does

prevent your MoCA signals from traveling to your neighbors.

You need to put the PoE Filter where the coax cable enters

your home, before that cable branches off to connect to your

TV sets, cable modem, and other devices. We suggest that

you connect the MM1000’s PoE Filter now. If you find that a

PoE Filter is already installed, don’t install a second one.

When installing the PoE Filter, you’ll do the following:

1. Check that nobody in your home is watching TV or using

the Internet, because you will interrupt them.

2. Disconnect the coax cable as near as possible to where it

comes into your home. This is usually inside your home,

but may be outside your home. Sometimes the coax cable

goes into a splitter, and sometimes it connects to

something else.

3. Connect that same coax cable to one end of the PoE

Filter.

4. Connect the other end of the PoE Filter to the coax

connector where you disconnected the coax cable.
