•After you finish connecting the components:

1.Perform the Operational Check for the Remote Control. Be sure regular and VoD channels display.

2.Optimize the high-definition settings.

Checking the Home Coaxial Network Topology

This section assumes you are networking two or more QIP set-tops. Before you install the Motorola Whole Home IP Video Network hardware:

1. Create a table listing:

•Every room where you plan to install a set-top

•The signal levels you measured at the RF cable outlets

•The HFC MAC Address on the label beneath the set-top used in that room

Optionally, you can include information such as the set-top type, serial numbers, and anything else you or the service provider considers useful.

Table 4 – Sample table listing signal levels and MAC Addresses

	Cable Outlet
Room	Signal Level	Set-Top MAC Address	Set-top Type	Serial Number

Router	-2 dBmV	001225xxxxxx	None

Living room	-6 dBmV	001225xxxxxx	QIP7200

Den	-8 dBmV	001225xxxxxx	QIP7100

Master bedroom	-16 dBmV	001225xxxxxx	QIP2500

2.Use your TV signal tester at the coaxial outlet where you will connect any MoCA set- top box and router. Verify that the signal level of the highest downstream digital channel frequency is between -10 and 10 dBmV. Record your readings in a table similar to Table 4-1. A signal level of +0 dBmV is ideal.

Note: If the signal level is less than -10 dBmV, you must correct the problem before installing the set-top.

3.If possible, determine whether there are one or more in-line coaxial RF amplifiers. If possible, move the existing amplifier to a position near the point of entry. See Bypassing an Amplifier in Section 5, Troubleshooting.

4.If possible, determine how many splitters, and what kind, are in use. An older splitter, such as an old eight-way splitter, may have unacceptably high throughput loss. Replace any splitter cascades having a loss of 18 dB or more.
