Product Overview Package Contents and Accessories Thank you for purchasing the Channel Master CM‐6000 Kit, CM‐6001 or CM‐6004.
Introduction The compact CM‐6001 or CM‐6004 provides a simple solution to link your network‐connectable devices from room to room using your existing coaxial cable. It acts as a bridge between the standard Ethernet network and your home coaxial wiring system for transferring network data and streaming multimedia content. Its connection mechanism is compliant with the MoCA 1.1 standard using clean and shielded coaxial cables as the transferring medium.
Key Features MoCA 1.1 compliance. Links entertainment devices from room to room using your existing home coaxial cable system. Coexistence with cable TV and terrestrial TV broadcasts. Easy installation. No additional configuration required. LED status lights (Power, 1‐4 ports, Network, c.LINK). Up to 16 Internet‐to‐tv nodes supported. Reliable access to data, audio, and video streams (SDTV, HDTV). Transmission rates up to 250Mbps. PQoS support for signal prioritization.
Indicators and Ports LED Indicator Definitions The LED lights located on the front panel indicate the status of the Ethernet network, coaxial network and power connection. LED Definitions c.LINK Flashing Yellow: Coax not linked Green: Phyrate > 180Mbps Yellow: 180Mbps > Phyrate > 150Mbps, Off: 150Mbps > Phyrate Port 1‐4 LED on: Ethernet linked. Flashing: Data tranferring via Ethernet. Network LED on: Coax linked.
Connection Interfaces Interface Function CABLE IN TV OUT Connect to the coaxial cable outlet on the wall. Connect to your TV, set‐top box, cable modem or other coaxial devices in your home. Connect the Ethernet ports of the CM‐6001 or CM‐6004 to Ethernet capable devices such as an Internet enabled TV, laptop, game console, DVR (digital video recorder), etc. Connect the power adapter to a wall outlet to receive the power supply.
Basic Connection This chapter demonstrates the basic setup, which requires two of our CM‐6001 (or CM‐6004) products used as a pair to connect an Internet enabled TV to an existing network. The CM‐6004 and CM‐6001 are interchangeable and either one may be used.
As illustrated on page 13, the router uses an Ethernet cable to connect to the CM‐6001 or CM‐6004, and then uses the coaxial cable between the CM‐6004 and the CM‐6001 to transfer data. After connecting the Internet enabled TV to the CM‐6001 or CM‐6004, the Internet enabled TV is linked to the network and will be able to access the Internet through the router. Note: CM‐6001 and CM‐6004 are both in our series of Internet‐to‐tv products. Please see your retailer for details.
Installation Steps 1. Connect the existing coaxial cable from your TV or set‐top box (or other device that was previously connected to the coaxial cable wall outlet) to the TV OUT port on the rear panel of each of the two CM‐6001s or CM‐6004s located in different rooms. Note: The TV OUT port filters out the Internet‐to‐tv signal so should not be connected to other Internet‐to‐tv devices including Internet‐to‐tv DVRs or STBs. Use an external splitter.
2. Connect the coaxial cable from the wall cable outlet to the CABLE IN port on the rear panel of the two CM‐6004(or CM‐6001) devices located in the two rooms. 3. Now, you can turn on your TV to confirm that TV service is available. If your TV service is not available, verify if the cables are securely connected to the correct ports as stated in the previous steps. (Please disregard if you are not using the product along with a television signal.
4. Connect the power adapter from the wall power outlet to the Power port on the rear panel of the two CM‐6004(or CM‐6001) devices. The Power LED light will turn on. 5. Wait a few seconds for the coaxial network to be formed between the two products. The c.LINK LED light on the two products will turn on when a coaxial link between them is established.
6. After the coaxial network is established, connect the Ethernet cable from the network device of one room to the Ethernet port of this product first. In this example, we connect the router with the CM‐6001 or CM‐6004. 7. Then we connect another Ethernet capable product to the Ethernet port of the CM‐6004 (or CM‐6001) in the other room. For example, we connect an Internet enabled TV to the CM‐6001 as shown in the illustration.
Connect to Your Home Entertainment Network Home Network Environment The coaxial network that has been widely deployed in almost every building is a good and convenient backbone for your home networking environment. By performing the basic installation that is introduced in previous chapter, you can easily add each of your rooms to your home network. See reference applications below for linking your network devices.
