• MoCA 2.5 Coax Port: Connects to the coaxial wall outlet for MoCA network communication.
• Coax Passthrough Port for TV: Allows connection of a TV or set-top box to the same coaxial line.
• 1 Gbps Ethernet Port: Connects to your router, computer, or other network devices.
• Strømport: Connects to the included AC power adapter.

3.2. LED-indikatorer

Bilde: Side view of the HTEM4 adapter showing the LED indicators and their functions.

• Strøm (Grønn): Solid green when the device is powered on.
• Activity (Blue/Green): Blinks when data is being sent or received over the MoCA network.
• Link (Blue/Green): Blue indicates a 1000 Mbps Ethernet connection. Green indicates a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection.
• MoCA (Blue/Green): Blue indicates high-speed MoCA mode. Green indicates low-speed MoCA mode. Off if not connected to another MoCA device.

4. Oppsettveiledning

To establish a MoCA network, you typically need at least two MoCA adapters, or one adapter if your existing modem/router has built-in MoCA capabilities. Ensure your coaxial wiring is properly configured for MoCA.

4.1. Sjekkliste før installasjon

• Coaxial Wiring: All coaxial outlets you intend to use must be wired to the same central splitter. Isolated outlets will prevent MoCA from functioning.
• MoCA-Compatible Splitters: For best results, ensure any coaxial splitters in your home are MoCA-compatible (rated for frequencies up to 1675 MHz or higher).
• Kompatibilitet: Not compatible with satellite TV systems (DirecTV, DISH) or AT&T Internet/U-verse coax networks due to frequency overlap.

4.2. Basic Installation Steps

1. Connect the First Adapter (Near Router):
   • Connect one end of the provided coaxial cable to a coaxial wall outlet.
   • Connect the other end of this coaxial cable to the MoCA 2.5 Coax Port on the first HTEM4 adapter.
   • Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to the 1 Gbps Ethernet-port on the HTEM4 adapter.
   • Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an available LAN port on your router or modem.
   • Connect the AC power adapter to the Strømport on the HTEM4 adapter and plug it into a power outlet. The Power LED should turn green.
2. Connect the Second Adapter (Remote Location):
   • In the desired remote location, connect one end of a coaxial cable to a coaxial wall outlet.
   • Connect the other end of this coaxial cable to the MoCA 2.5 Coax Port on the second HTEM4 adapter.
   • Koble den ene enden av en Ethernet-kabel til 1 Gbps Ethernet-port on the second HTEM4 adapter.
   • Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the device you wish to connect (e.g., computer, gaming console, Wi-Fi extender).
   • Connect the AC power adapter to the Strømport on the second HTEM4 adapter and plug it into a power outlet. The Power LED should turn green.
3. Bekreft tilkobling: After both adapters are powered on, the MoCA LED on both adapters should turn blue (for high-speed mode) or green (for low-speed mode), indicating a successful MoCA network connection. The Link LED on the Ethernet port should also illuminate, and the Activity LED may blink when data is transferred.

5. Drift

Once properly installed, your Hitron HTEM4 MoCA 2.5 Network Adapters will automatically establish a high-speed wired connection over your home's coaxial cabling. This connection provides a stable, low-latency network backbone for various applications.

5.1. Benefits of MoCA

• Enhanced Wi-Fi: By offloading wired devices from your Wi-Fi network, MoCA can improve overall Wi-Fi performance and speed.
• Lav ventetid: Ideal for online gaming and video conferencing, providing a more responsive connection than Wi-Fi.
• Buffer-Free Streaming: Supports 4K streaming and other high-bandwidth applications without buffering.

6. Vedlikehold

The Hitron HTEM4 MoCA 2.5 Network Adapter is designed for reliable, long-term operation with minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure continued performance:

• Hold ventilert: Ensure the adapter is placed in a location with adequate airflow to prevent overheating. Do not cover ventilation holes.
• Rengjør forsiktig: Bruk en myk, tørr klut til å rengjøre utsiden av enheten. Unngå flytende rengjøringsmidler eller slipende materialer.
• Kabelintegritet: Periodically check coaxial and Ethernet cables for damage or loose connections. Secure connections can impact performance.
• Strømsyklus: If you experience network issues, try power cycling the adapter by unplugging it from the power outlet for 10 seconds and then plugging it back in.
