Support MoCA Devices
To properly implement the MR-DVR service, refer to the MoCA Installation and
Troubleshooting Reference Guide (part number 78-4031235-01), which contains
installation guidelines, performance verification steps, and troubleshooting
measures for devices that support a multi-room network over Multimedia over Coax
Alliance (MoCA™). Multi-room networks allow client devices (non-DVR set-tops) to
stream content from a server device (DVR set-top) that has recorded linear content.

with respect to cable splitters and amplifiers. The document is also helpful to verify
links between MoCA set-tops and troubleshoot faulty installations.

Configure MoCA using the config.ini File
You can enable or disable MoCA using a file on BFS. This file is named config.ini.
This file specifies whether MoCA should be enabled automatically on assignment of
the _MRDV package.
This file specifies whether MoCA should be enabled automatically on assignment of
the _MRDV package.
You may not need to perform the following procedure. By default, the config.ini file
built into the set-top image has a default setting such that the set-top will be enabled
for MoCA service whenever the MR-DVR service (_MRDV) is authorized.

If you prefer to enable the MoCA radio MIB Object manually using a SNMP set
command instead of automatically when the _MRDV package is assigned to the set-
top, you will need to follow the instructions below and then refer to Enable the
MoCA Interface MIB Object (in the following section.)

On the DNCS, edit the config.ini file. The following are the lines for the default
setting.

setting.
[moca]
enable_moca_by_service = 1
2 If you do NOT want to enable MoCA with config.ini, change the lines to:
[moca]
enable_moca_by_service = 0
3 Modify or put the file on BFS, typically in /bfs/msoconfig/rtn/0/config.ini
which updates settings on all set-tops.
4 If necessary, send the service package to set-top(s) for the _MRDV service.
