Video Network Setups

In multi-network scenarios, such as the one depicted in the picture above, there is a

 

new entity, called the QoS controller. The QoS controller’s role is to assign channel

 

access to the different networks. The QoS controller acts at the same time as the

 

AP of one of the networks. In the presence of several networks, the coexistence

33

protocol automatically selects one of the APs as the QoS controller.

 

4.2.2.1 Two Networks on Different Circuits

 

If two In-Home AV networks are configured, with no direct visibility between any of

 

the adapters belonging to different networks, then these two networks will behave

 

as two independent networks. Both APs will act as QoS controllers.

 

4.2.2.2 Two Networks on the Same Circuit

 

Different networks are defined by different network IDs.

 

If two In-Home AV networks are configured as public networks, the coexistence

 

protocol will act as if there were only one network. The network ID is transmitted

 

by every adapter to communicate the existence of its network. If an adapter with

 

network ID A receives network ID B, then it knows that there are at least two

 

networks sharing the channel.

 

For example, one In-Home AV network is configured and running. A second

 

network is configured and becomes active. Then the second network will notify

 

the first network of its existence in some specified access slots, and both networks

 

will automatically be reconfigured and will share the channel. If both networks are

 

configured at the same time, the QoS controller will be selected from all available

 

APs.
