All rights reserved. Confidential under NDA Read This First Always make sure to connect all coaxial cables and network cables before connecting the power cable. This must be done to avoid electrical shock and to avoid damage to the unit. Ground loops might build up enough electrical charge to give an electrical shock if not properly connected before connecting the power cord. Make sure to connect the Cable TV (CATV) amplifiers ground connection to the Controller unit if both the CATV amplifier and Controller are installed in the same physical location. If the CATV-amplifier is located far away on the coaxial network, the Controller unit must not be grounded because this will create a ground loop. When Using the Controller The Controller is designed to operate on 48 VDC. If the unit is not powered using the power supply delivered with the Controller, but in any other way directly or indirectly with 48 VDC, a 3 A fuse must be fitted to the power cable. Please observe the following:
Do not stick any foreign objects, like metal or flammable objects into the Controller or its ventilation holes, as this can cause fire or electric shock. Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
- High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Controller. For any inspection, adjustment, and repair work please contact your local InCoax dealer. The warranty is void if the cover is opened.
- Never attempt to repair this product yourself. Improper repair work can be dangerous. Never disassemble or modify this product. Tampering with this product may result in injury or fire. Do not handle the power supply plug with wet hands as this may cause electric shocks. Do not use in locations subject to high humidity or dust levels, as this may cause damage to the equipment or start a fire. Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the plug body, not the cable. Do not damage a power cable, make any modifications to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fire and electric shock. You should discard the power cable if it is damaged in any way. The power cable shall also be discarded if the plug is damaged. Do not place heavy objects on top of the Controller. Before moving the Controller unplug all cables connected to it. Securely insert the power supply plug as far as it will go. It is recommended to unplug the power supply from the wall outlet or the unit if the Controller is not going to be used for any prolonged length of time. Network Requirements Please consider the following during the installation of the Controller. The risk of potential differences and the spread of voltage from faulty equipment are largely linked to the design of the power installation in the building. If the coax connections are not galvanically separated according to the standard EN60728 then a galvanic separator, e.g. Soontai Isolator IS9 SG, shall be used between the coax connection and the Controller. In terms of potential equalization, the EN 50083-1 and EN60728 shall be followed. Cable distribution systems shall be designed and constructed so that no dangerous voltages can occur in the external conductors of any cables or in metal cases on passive parts. Warning If the Controller is installed in an environment where the surrounding temperature is at least 50 oC (degrees Celsius), the coax connectors can reach a temperature of at least 85 oC. In this case the coax connectors must not be covered with or in contact with combustible materials due to the risk of fire. Copyright 2018 InCoax Networks AB. All rights reserved. 1 Confidential under NDA Installation Environment Install the Controller in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight. Install the Controller in a fairly cool and dry place for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges. See section 4 for the actual temperature ranges. Install the Controller on a sturdy, level surface that can support at least 5 kg (11 lbs) of weight. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front for the coax cables. Connect a 75-ohm terminator (F-connector) in all coax ports that are not used on the Controller. Storage Environment The ideal storage location is a dry and well ventilated location, e.g. in a space with climate-control. Please refer to section 4 on page 36 for more details about the specified environmental conditions. 2 Copyright 2018 InCoax Networks AB. All rights reserved.

The In:xtnd System consists of a Management System (In:xtnd | Manage) which manages Controllers (In:xtnd |
Control) installed in, or near, buildings and Modems (In:xtnd | Access ) installed in customers homes. An illustration of the management system can be seen in Figure 1. The Modem is easily installed by the customers without any requirements for configuration. This architecture makes the system very flexible. Once the Controller has been installed in, or near, the building the only required operation to connect new customers is to provide them with a Modem. As soon as the Modem has been connected to the coax network, it will automatically be detected and properly configured by the Controller through the Management System. The typical In:xtnd System consists of one Management System which handles hundreds of Controllers and thousands of Modems. If there is a legacy cable-TV service in the building the TV signal can be multiplexed with the broadband signal using the Diplexer (In:xtnd | Combine). The Management System is used as a customer configuration, monitoring, and provisioning tool through a web interface. In larger networks the Controller functions used by the Management System can be accessed by any other provisioning system or Operating Support System through a SOAP/XML interface. Figure 1 Overview of the Management System. 1.2 The In:xtnd | Manage | MA2.5 The Management System is a software package installed in a Linux environment. It manages the Controllers and Modems. The Management System automatically detects new Modems and manages the mapping of subscriber data. It also collects and presents communication statistics parameters and priorities. Furthermore, it measures and presents the RF link quality in real time and handles various alarms to the operator. 1.3 The In:xtnd | Control | MA2.5 | 4 The Controller acts as a bridge between the Ethernet access network and customers local area Ethernet, using the in-building coaxial network as transport for data traffic to the Modems. The Controller communicates with all Modems, over dedicated RF channels, in the coaxial network to manage their individual configuration, enforces traffic, and security policies. It also collects and stores traffic statistics data from the network. 1.4 The In:xtnd | Access | MA2.5 | 2 The Access Modem is an Ethernet network terminal. It connects to any antenna outlet in the subscribers homes for easy self-installation. It communicates with the Controller to get configuration parameters and connects to the subscribers local area Ethernet (e.g. usually a residential gateway) using Ethernet CAT cables with RJ45 plug. (InCoax recommends using CAT5e cable type as a minimum for best performance.) The firmware of the Modem can be upgraded from the Controller. 6 Copyright 2018 InCoax Networks AB. All rights reserved. Confidential under NDA 1.5 The In:xtnd Quality of Service The In:xtnd Controller support up to four queues, broadcast, and multicast Quality of Service (QoS), prioritization between unicast and broadcast/multicast and classification. Unicast QoS can be set individually for each Modem. 1.6 The In:xtnd | Basic Product Connection Figure 2 shows an example of the in-building connections for the basic products.

Enable or disable automatic power control. The benefit with automatic power control is that the risk of interfering with other analogue devices is reduced due to overall lower transmit power levels. External interference problems can be reduced / avoided by disabling the power control mechanism. Power control is enabled when the checkbox is checked. This parameter sets the transmit power level when automatic power control is disabled and sets the max. power level when automatic power control is enabled. Each reduction in the index is a 3dB reduction in the transmit power level. When using the Power Amplifier (PA, "PA On") in the Controller, the MoCA chip needs to back off to avoid saturation of the PA, so the max. TX Power should be set to 8 or less to avoid saturation of the PA. When NOT using the Power Amplifier (PA, "PA Off") in the Controller, max. TX Power should be set to 10. This parameter is the required physical bit rate that will be targeted in the automatic power control mode and is the speed per 100 MHz channel. If the target MAC rate is 2500 Mbps MAC rate, the Power Control Rate should be set to 680 Mbps (5 680 Mbps = 3400 Mbps PHY rate), as a lot of the PHY rate capacity will be used for the MoCA Access 2.5 based MAC.

Traffic from the queues is dispatched with frames from the Q3 queue first, then from the Q2 queue, and so on with the Q0 queue last. If a VLAN-tagged frame has the P-bits set, the frame can be mapped against one of the queues depending on the P-bits. This mapping can be done in any way under the Inbound Traffic Class Mapping. VLAN Priority in VLAN-tagged frames can be remarked with a new priority under the Inbound P-bit mapping heading. IP-packets with ToS field value can be mapped and remarked with a VLAN Priority according to the settings under Enable ToS - Priority 0 to 7.

All rights reserved. Confidential under NDA It is possible to define reserved bandwidth for multicast groups. If a multicast group is joined on one Modem the unicast peak bandwidth can be limited with a value on that Modem to avoid unicast traffic to disturb the multicast stream. This setting is global for the Controller, i.e. the value is valid for all multicast groups. When a new multicast group is joined the bandwidth will be limited with the value that is input in the field UC Adjustment. The value is subtracted from the value in the field UC Capacity. An example:
- UC Adjustment = 20 Mbps
- UC Capacity = 1000 Mbps
- Link speed = 2500 Mbps
- When a client joins a multicast group the maximum available unicast capacity for that Modem will be 1000 -
20 = 980 Mbps.
-
If another client on the same Modem joins another multicast group, the maximum available unicast capacity for that Modem will be 1000 - 20 - 20 = 960 Mbps.
- No other Modems are affected, only the ones that have clients that have joined multicast groups.
