Installing CoaxManager Application

CoaxManager application installed through an executable that guide the user through the installation

process.

Language selection: This option selects setup language

Follow installer instructions to complete applcation installation. Read carefully license before use

program and approval before continue.

Once installed application will appear on your desktop the icon below:

Connecting CoaxDATA Modem to CoaxManager

After installing application, when CoaxManager start scan all computer ethernet interfaces trying to find

connected devices. In the case of identifying a device already connected, get information associated

therewith.

Application provides two combos NIC Interface and Devices showing interfaces and devices that have

been located within these interfaces. When pressed in combo Devices updates automatically Network

Devices list, showing local device (connected directly through ethernet) and all devices that it has

located within its network. .

Click on Connect/Disconnect Button to select which device you want to configure. Different operations

are available :

•Read Config: Reads connected device configuration. This operation is performed automatically

when connected to a device.

•Write Config: Write configuration on connected device. Configuration is changed through tab

GUIs.

•Factory Defaults: Sets device to factory settings. Be careful with this option since restore to

factory configuration causes lose any settings you made on it. This button has the same effect as

Factory Defaults button located on the front of the modems.

•Help: This manual.

Once connected to device we have access to different tabs that show different information about it.

If you can not connect to device, verify that this is correctly

connected via an Ethenet cable. If there is an intermediate switch or

other network devices, are configured properly.

Device Configuration

Operation ode setting can be perfor ed through Configuration ta , where shows device info and also

those fields that configure device access ode, network password or trans ission ask.

Device Parameters displays information about device:

•Firmware Version: Version Info of Device Firmware.

•PIB Version: Device PIB Version (Parameters Information Block) . PIB stores user configuration

changes and contains firmware runtime parameters.

•MAC Address: Device MAC Address. All Televes MAC Address start with 00:0E:7C hexadecimal

values and are registered on IEEE.

•DAK key (Device Access key): Key established in the manufacturing process and determines

access to devices when it occurs remotely (via coaxial). Knowledge of this key is essential for

updating/configuring devices remotely, although default DAK key value is always the same, on

manufacturing proccess, simplifying devices configuration.

•NMK key (Network Management Key): Key set by the user and allows creation of different data

networks named AVLN. This 128bit hexadecimal key, is generated based on the Network

Password field value using a hash algorithm. NMK key determines whether a slave can connect

to a master or not and only devices with the same NMK can be connected together.

•NET ID, MDF ID, USR ID: Description fields determining the network name, Televes product

description and user description, done by the installer. Installer can change descriptions that

make sense in the coaxial network as the location of the modem, its role in the network or who is

using it.

•MDU mode: Indicates whether MDU mode is active or not.

•CCo mode (Central coordinator): CCo is responsible for coordinating communications between

devices. There are three options: CCo Auto: Device negociates with other who is CCo, Cco

Never: Device never is CCo, CCo Always: Device is Always CCo.

- On MDU mode: Master is always CCo, and slave never. CCo mode is not configurable.

- On Homenetworking mode: CCo Auto is default mode and CCo is assigned by negociation

between devices. When devices negociate who is CCo, all devices communicate with each other.

On hybrid networks with PLC medium or on networks where communication between all devices

are not guaranteed, installer must configure devices as well CCo never, well CCo Always, and

CCo Always device be connected to the router that gives Internet service . This avoids problems

with the negotiation of CCo Auto mode in case of lack of communication between all devices.

•Disable Device Transmissions: This options allows disable device transmissions and avoids

data transmission on network. Coaxmanager application still connect to device for management

but device cannot transmit data avoiding bandwith consumption.

MDU Configuration

Sets operating mode of the device.

Home Networking: This is default mode setting

at the factory and allows the creation of a local

area network where all devices communicate with

each other. These networks are usually created

when the modem is used to extend internet

services within a house. Default mode that is

retrieved using the Defaults button.

MDU/MTU (Multi-Dwelling/Multi-Tenant Unit). This

mode uses current coaxial network on a building

or house to communicate from the headend with

each of modems installed on coaxial outlets,

providing access to multiple dwellings without can

communicate with each other. In this mode have

two modes, master and slave.

If you select MDU option is necessary to specify which mode you want:

•Master: CoaxDATA operate in master mode and is typically installed in the headend, as

described in CoaxDATA product manual. Master controls when the slaves can access the

medium synchronizing transmissions and avoiding slave conflicts.

•Slave: modem will be installed in a coaxial outlet, as indicated in CoaxDATA product

manual.

Select Transmission medium

Sets device transmission medium

•Hybrid Coax+PLC: This option indicates that operation mode is hybrid, where devices

communicate via PLC and Coax. The medium swich on front of device must be on the left and

power LED is set to orange color.

•Only Coax: In this mode of operation only coaxial is used as communication medium. The

medium swich on front of device must be on the right and power LED is set to green color.

•Round Robin Slot(Only MxU): Every Slave have chance to transmit data and reduce probability

of whole network colliding. Enable Round Robin generally enhance the throughput.

•Point to Multipoint (Only MxU): Master have chance to transmit data and reduce probability of

whole network colliding

•Enable Hidden Node(Only MxU): This option changes medium access mechanism of the

devices. Typically medium access method is based on CSMA (carrier sense medium access)

listening and checking medium is avaliable. Devices access to medium when no one else is

transmitting. This mechanism, however, requires that all of the devices can listen all

transmissions of other devices connected to the network. Depending on the coaxial network in

which the system is implemented, there may not listen slaves of other slaves transmissions due

to a high isolation of distribution outlets (> 100dB) and CSMA access mechanism in not valid.

Enable Hidden Node option replaces medium access contention for a token-based system, where

slaves transmit only when the master gives them permission. For this mechanism to work properly, all

devices on the network must have this feature enabled.

With this feature modems access to the medium only when they have permission to do so, providing

better performance in environments where the insulation between slaves is very high. Since the devices

have to get the token for access to the medium, there is a 20% reduction in the total thoughput system.

This feature is enabled by default when user select Coaxial Medum to transmit. Disable only when

isolation between slaves is a known low value.
