WAP7205 User’s Guide

Use this screen to view the MoCA network status and information about the connected MoCA devices 
(nodes). Click Network > MoCA > Monitor.

Secondary 
Offset

Select the second operating frequency range if you clear the Auto Channel Selection check 
box.

Select None if you don’t want to specify a second channel.

Select Above to have the WAP7205 use a frequency higher than the upper edge of the 
selected primary channel.

Select Below to have the WAP7205 use a frequency less than the lower edge of the selected 
primary channel.

PER Mode

The Packet Error Rate (PER) indicates the ratio between the total number of incorrectly received 
data packets and the total number of transmitted data packets. The total number of 
transmitted packets is at least 100,000,000 when the PER mode is NPER (Normal PER) and at least 
10,000,000,000 when the PER mode is VLPER (Very Low PER). In very low PER mode, the physical 
data rate will be decreased in order to achieve a lower packet error rate.

Select Normal to set the PER mode to NPER. Otherwise, select Very Low to set the PER mode to 
VLPER.

Preferred NC

The Network Coordinator (NC) is a node that performs the following functions in a MoCA 
network: beacon generation, MAP (Medium Allocation Plan) generation, admission of new 
MoCA nodes to the network, privacy key generation and distribution, and LMO (Link 
Maintenance Operation) scheduling. The NC is dynamically selected from all the MoCA nodes 
in the network.

 There is only one NC in a MoCA network and the rest of the MoCA nodes in the 

MoCA network are clients.

Select Enable to configure the WAP7205 as a preferred network coordinator. The preferred NC 
has an advantage in the NC selection.

Network Security  Select Enable to turn on MoCA privacy. If this is enabled, all MoCA devices connected via 

coaxial cables must use the same password.
