This document describes the YTMC-51N2-M3 MoCA 2.5 Adapter, a coaxial-to-Ethernet conversion kit designed to extend a home network by leveraging existing coaxial cabling. The adapter provides an Ethernet Internet port wherever a coaxial connection is available and includes a TV (TV/STB Out) coaxial port for existing connections at the coaxial wall port.

Function Description:

The YTMC-51N2-M3 MoCA 2.5 Adapter converts a coaxial signal into an Ethernet signal, allowing devices to connect to the internet via the home's coaxial network. It takes the internet signal from a modem/router and delivers it to the coaxial network, while simultaneously maintaining TV/set-top box connectivity. This enables the creation of an Ethernet Internet access point in any location with an available coaxial port. The device supports MoCA 2.5, offering high-speed data transfer over coaxial cables.

Usage Features:

Package Contents: Each kit includes the YTMC-51N2-M3 MoCA 2.5 Adapter, a coaxial cable, a power adapter, a Quick Start Guide, and an Ethernet cable.
Requirements: An available coaxial port and an available electrical wall socket in the installation areas are necessary.
Connecting the First Adapter:
1. Disconnect the coaxial cable from the TV or set-top box at the wall port.
2. Connect this disconnected coaxial cable to the TV coaxial port on the adapter.
3. Connect another coaxial cable from the wall port (previously used in step 1) to the MoCA coaxial port on the adapter.
4. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the modem/router's Ethernet port.
5. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the adapter.
6. Plug the power adapter into the adapter's Power port and then into an electrical outlet.
7. Once connected, the Internet signal will be delivered across the coaxial network.
Connecting Additional Adapters:
1. Locate a coaxial wall port near the desired location. If a device is connected, unplug its coaxial cable.
2. If a coaxial cable was unplugged, connect it to the TV coaxial port on the adapter.
3. Connect a coaxial cable from the wall port (from step 1) to the MoCA port on the adapter.
4. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the device requiring Internet access.
5. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the adapter.
6. Plug the power adapter into the adapter's Power port and then into an electrical outlet.
7. Verify that the Power, Ethernet, and MoCA LEDs are solid green.
Web Management:
- Each adapter has a web interface for management, inquiry, and upgrades.
- The default IP address is 192.168.144.200.
- To access, ensure your computer's IP address is within the 192.168.144.x range (1-254, excluding 200) and connect your computer to the adapter's LAN port via Ethernet.
- Enter http://192.168.144.200 into a web browser.
- Default login credentials:
  - Login: admin
  - Password: maxlinear
- The web interface allows configuration of frequency range, transmission rate, IP address, and viewing Ethernet information.
Coaxial Cable Shielding: If applicable, the coaxial cable screen shield must be connected to Earth at the building entrance per ANSI/NFPA70, Section 820.93, or local regulations.

Maintenance Features:

Reset and Factory Reset:
- To reset the device, press the reset button located under the YTMC-51N2-M3.
- To restore factory default settings, press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
Troubleshooting - MoCA Status LED not lit:
- Confirm the MoCA port on the adapter is connected to the coax outlet on the wall.
- Try a different coax outlet in another room.
- Check for a cable or terrestrial TV signal on both cable wall outlets.
- Verify that rooms are connected on the same splitter in the cable junction box.
Troubleshooting - Cable modem or set-top box issues after installation:
- If the adapter is incompatible with your cable device, avoid using the TV port.
- Instead, use a coax splitter: connect the wall outlet to the splitter, then run separate coax cables from the splitter to the cable modem/STB and to the adapter.
- If problems persist, consider using a "MoCA POE (Point of Entry) Filter" at the input of the cable modem/STB. This filter blocks MoCA signals from passing to the device and is available online.
DirecTV or DISH Network Compatibility: These adapters are designed for Cable TV or Terrestrial (rabbit ears) TV. For satellite operators, contact them for compatible adapters.
Warranty: The product includes a one-year Limited Hardware Warranty and 120-day free software updates from the date of purchase. This warranty is subject to local laws, which may modify its terms.
Important Safety Instructions:
