Hitron HT-EMN2 User’s Guide
TxPower Level Use this field to set the power at which the HT-EMN2
transmits (TX) over the cable network, from 0 to 10.
Beacon Power Level Use this field to set the HT-EMN2’s beacon power on
the cable network, from 0 to 10. The MoCA beacon
allows other devices on the cable network to detect the
HT-EMN2.
Preferred NC Each MoCA network has a Network Coordinator (NC)
which acts as a manager for all the other devices on the
cable network.
By default, the NC is chosen from the pool of MoCA
devices based on its suitability (signal strength,
etc.) To base NC status on merit, or if you have
specified another device as “preferred” and do not
want the HT-EMN2 to compete with it, select Auto-
negotiated.
When one device is set to be the “preferred” NC, it
will be the NC whenever it is available on the
network (if multiple devices are “preferred”, the
most suitable one will be chosen). Select
Preferred to add the HT-EMN2 to the preferred
group.
Channel Plan The MoCA specification defines several channel plans
for communication on the cable network (see MoCA
Overview on page 41). This field allows you to select the
channel plan that you want the HT-EMN2 to use.
Select the channel plan that you wish to use from the
dropdown list.
