End of Life Recycling and Disposal Information
Do not dispose of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) as unsorted municipal waste. For proper
disposal return the product to StarLink. Please contact our local offices or server centers for information on how to
arrange the return and recycling of any of our products.
EC Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive aims to minimize the impact of the disposal of electrical
and electronic equipment on the environment. It encourages and sets criteria for the collection, treatment,
recycling, recovery, and disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
LASER Cautions
The possible laser sources from SFP specified by this user guide are classified according to IEC 60825-1 (2001).
This is Class 1 laser product.
Please pay attention to the following laser safety warnings:
(1) Under no circumstances should you look into the end of an optical cable attached to the optical output when the
device is operating. Laser radiation can seriously damage your eyesight.
(2) Do not enable laser connections when there is no fiber attached to the optical output connector because this
device will emit invisible laser radiation if the unit is powered on.
(3) The use of optical instruments
Remove the protective plugs from the SFP module(s) and save them for future use.
Remove the protective caps from the connectors on the fiber-optic cable and save them for future use.
Clean the fiber-optic connectors on your fiber-optic cables.
Plug the appropriate fiber-optic cable into the connector on the SFP modules.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW AND FUNCTIONS
MN2525 is a MoCA 2.5 full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet adapter. The Ethernet/IP data can be multiplexed with TV signal
(either Cable TV, Satellite TV or any Terrestrial TV) to transmit over coaxial cable distribution structure to reach
subscribers. Another MN2525 is needed at the far end to receive multiplexed signal to supply TV signal and Ethernet /
IP data service in residential homes, multi-dwelling units or office buildings.
With its low-cost and high-performance feature set, MN2525 can build fast and efficient Home Network with
following key features.
Key Features
Boost the speed and performance of home networking to reach 2Gbps (full-duplex Gigabit) with the new MoCA
2.5 technology
Configurable high-frequency modulation allows Cable TV, Satellite TV or other TV signals overlay without
interference
Turn any coaxial outlet to high-speed Ethernet / IP connection to deliver high-definition video streaming, and
high-speed Internet inside home
Supplement and extend the existing Wi-Fi network with high-speed wired connection over in-home coaxial drops
Enable tablets, smart phones, gaming APPs/consoles and 4K/8K HDTV to access content simultaneously
Plug-and-Play installation to work over the existing home coaxial wiring without re-wiring of Ethernet cables
Enhance Wi-Fi network over coaxial wiring to reach wired speed and coverage reliability to offload Wi-Fi
gateway/router for content transfer between smart devices
1.2 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS
Utmost care has been taken in the manufacture of the MN2525. Please keep the following instructions in mind while
using the MN2525.

2.2 INDICATOR LEDS
The functional status of MN2525 is indicated by LEDs. There are four LEDs at the top of the MN2525.
POWER is lit when the power supply is good. Check the power adapter if the Power LED is dark when it’s
plugged into the unit.
ETHERNET is lit when Ethernet connection is good. Check the RJ-45 cable or connection point of 1000Base-T
port if the Link LED is dark.
COAX is lit when COM port is connected properly with Coaxial cable. Check the connector type and coaxial
cable is screwed into the F connector properly if Cable LED is dark. The coaxial cable connected to
the Cable port is less than 500 meters in length or the attenuation of the connected cable is less
than 45 to 50dBuV.
