Spirent Tech-X FleX MoCA Test Module
Provides a single MoCA interface for joining a MoCA network to measure various stats such as throughput, bandwidth map, individual node performance, TX/TX bit loading per node, etc.
Spirents MoCA Module for the Tech-X Flex tester provides field technicians with an efficient and cost-effective method for troubleshooting MoCA related issues inside a home.
MoCA is an in-home distruibution technology which runs over coaxial cable. Due to the large penetration of residential cable and satellite services, MoCA provides a relatively low cost moeth of getting IP video services (e.g., IPTV, VoD and DVR Sharing) to the various TVs within the home without requiring new cable to be installed at turn-up.
PINPOINT FAULTY CABLING, AVOID PREMATURE STB REPLACEMENT
Without the Tech-X Flex, the technician cannot pin-point the source of the poor service performance over a MoCA Connection. At the moment they can replace routers and / or STBs or run new coaxial cable in the hope of solving the problem. But this an extermely costly hit or miss approach. Checking for connectivity to the devices and subsequently analyzing the data rates between them is the most efficient approach as it isolates physical layer issues with the coaxial cabling form MoCA related issues within the devices.
A two-stage approach of checking connectivity and measuring bandwidth between the Tech-X Flex and the STB and then between the Tech-x Flex and the residential-gateway / router allows immediate isolation for the coax cable connecting the devices.
VERIFY DATA RATES
Being able to verify the data rates between MoCA devices is crucial when it comes to troubleshooting applications such as video on demand or DVR video sharing. Previously, gathering this information was cumbersome and required manually interrogating each individual device in the hope it presented this data. Tech-X Flex is unique in being able to present this information in one easy to read table which immediately highlights existing problems.
BIT LOADING
By examining the bits per carrier frequency, a termination can be made as to whether interference is occurring at certain frequency bands which could cause low data rates.
IP CONNECTIVITY
IP connectivity can also be tested over the MoCA interface using the Ping, TraceRoute, Packet Loss, Throughput or web Browser Functionality. Testing across all layers ensures no protocol issues exist, which may not be apparent when it is only MoCA level tests that are performed.
ECB Mode
The Tech-Flex Unit with the MoCA Module can act as a bridge metween MoCA and Cat-5 Ethernet commonly called an ECB (Ethernet / Coax Bridge). For Example, the unit can allow a computer to join the MoCA Base LAN or WAN Through its 10/100 interface.
MoCA QUICK TEST
MoCA quick test allows the field technician to run a suqeunce of automated MoCA Related tests, designed to quickly qualify the MoCA Based network.
The Test can be run before or after the unit has joined a MoCA network. Once the unit is fully synchronized, the remainder of the Quick Test involves the retrieval and evaluation of a variety of network statistics. In addition to a log of these statistics the test also produces a set of tabs that show much of the actual data that was measured and analyzed, thus giving the field technician a quick snapshot of the MoCA-Based Network.
IP VIDEO MEASUREMENTS
The optional IP Video functionality can utilize the MoCA interface for determining the consumers QOE. The dual MoCA prots allow in-poine / passive measruemernts that vaoivds propreitary signalling / middlearwe issures between the STB and head end video server.
