• 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

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

• Strøm (Grøn): Lyser konstant grønt, når enheden er tændt.
• 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. Opsætningsvejledning

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. Tjekliste før installation

• 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.
   • Tilslut den anden ende af Ethernet-kablet til en ledig LAN-port på din router eller dit modem.
   • Tilslut AC-strømadapteren til 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.
   • Tilslut den ene ende af et 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).
   • Tilslut AC-strømadapteren til Strømport on the second HTEM4 adapter and plug it into a power outlet. The Power LED should turn green.
3. Bekræft forbindelsen: 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. Betjening

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

• Forbedret Wi-Fi: By offloading wired devices from your Wi-Fi network, MoCA can improve overall Wi-Fi performance and speed.
• Lav forsinkelse: 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.
