3. Instrukcje konfiguracji

Follow these steps to set up your ASUS MA-25 MoCA 2.5 adapters:

1. Identify Coaxial Outlets: Locate the coaxial outlets in your home where you wish to extend your network. Ensure these outlets are connected to a single coaxial network within your home.
2. Connect First Adapter (Near Router/Modem):
   • Connect one end of the provided coax cable to a coaxial wall outlet.
   • Connect the other end of the coax cable to the 'Coax In' port on the first MA-25 adapter.
   • Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the first MA-25 adapter.
   • Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an available LAN port on your router or modem.
   • Plug the power adapter into the MA-25 adapter and then into a power outlet.
3. Connect Second Adapter (Target Location):
   • Connect one end of the provided coax cable to a coaxial wall outlet in your desired location.
   • Connect the other end of the coax cable to the 'Coax In' port on the second MA-25 adapter.
   • Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the second MA-25 adapter.
   • Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your device (e.g., PC, gaming console, smart TV).
   • Plug the power adapter into the second MA-25 adapter and then into a power outlet.
4. Sprawdź połączenie: Wait for the Power and MoCA indicator lights on both adapters to turn solid green, indicating a successful connection. The Ethernet indicator light will illuminate when a device is connected and active.

4. Instrukcja obsługi

Once properly set up, your ASUS MA-25 adapters will operate automatically, providing a high-speed wired network connection over your coaxial cables.

4.1. MoCA Network Functionality

The adapters create a dedicated network over your existing coaxial cables, separate from your cable TV or internet signals. This allows for stable, high-bandwidth connections for various applications.

4.2. MPS Security

The MA-25 features button-enabled commercial-grade MPS security. To establish a secure connection between adapters, press the MPS button on one adapter, then within a short timeframe, press the MPS button on the other adapter. This pairs them securely.

4.3. Band Mode Switch

The device includes an easy band mode switch to minimize interference from DOCSIS 3.1 cable modems, ensuring optimal connection quality. Refer to the device's physical switch for adjustment.

5. Konserwacja

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your ASUS MA-25 adapters, consider the following:

• Czyszczenie: Regularly dust the adapters to prevent accumulation that could hinder ventilation. Use a soft, dry cloth.
• Wentylacja: Ensure the adapters are placed in well-ventilated areas, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to prevent overheating.
• Integralność kabla: Periodically check coaxial and Ethernet cables for any damage or loose connections. Secure all connections firmly.
• Splitter Compatibility: If using coaxial splitters, ensure they are rated for frequencies compatible with MoCA (typically 5-1675 MHz or higher) to avoid signal degradation.

6. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

If you encounter issues with your MoCA network, try the following steps:

• Brak kontrolki zasilania: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the MA-25 unit and a working power outlet.
• No MoCA Light:
  • Check all coaxial cable connections. Ensure they are tight and undamaged.
  • Verify that the coaxial wiring in your home is continuous between the two adapters.
  • If using splitters, confirm they are MoCA-compatible. Old or incompatible splitters can block the MoCA signal.
  • Sprawdź, czy oba adaptery są włączone.
  • If you have a DOCSIS 3.1 modem, try adjusting the band mode switch on the MA-25 adapters.
• No Ethernet Light/No Internet:
  • Check the Ethernet cable connection between the MA-25 adapter and your device/router.
  • Ensure the connected device is powered on and its network settings are configured correctly (e.g., DHCP enabled).
  • Confirm that your main internet connection (from your ISP) is active.
• Niskie prędkości:
  • Inspect coaxial cables for damage or excessive length, which can degrade signal quality.
  • Ensure all splitters are high-quality and MoCA-compatible.
  • Consider adding a MoCA Point of Entry (PoE) filter at your home's main coaxial entry point to prevent signal leakage and improve network performance.
• Adding New Nodes: When adding additional MA-25 adapters to an existing secure MoCA network, you may need to re-pair them using the MPS button. Press the MPS button on an existing adapter, then press the MPS button on the new adapter within the pairing window.
