6 Over-the-Air (OTA) Installation
Figure 30 – Over-the-Air (OTA) Installation
This scenario covers the Over the Air Video Service (OTA) installations that may coexist on the
coaxial network with SBM1000 MoCA services. With OTA, the Broadband data service to the
gateway/modem is on a separate physical data network than the OTA and MoCA services.
Note
: It is highly recommended that you install the MoCA filter included with the SBM1000
adapters between your TV antenna and home coaxial wiring. This will prevent egress of the
MoCA signal from your coaxial network (see Figure 30).
In Figure 30, ATA refers to a television adapter that may be installed between the TV and the
cable wall outlet for TV service.
Note
: If the coaxial connection runs directly into the television, ignore the ATA reference in the
steps below.
1. Identify the rooms that you want to add to your home network and make sure there is a
coaxial cable connection in each room.
2. Locate the cable wall outlet (or RF splitter) and electrical wall outlet in the first room (see
Room 1 in Figure 30).
Note
: Although the SBM1100 and SBM1400 adapters are interchangeable, the SBM1400 is
typically located where more than one Ethernet connection is required (see Room 1 in Figure
30).
3. Check if the coaxial cable is connected to an RF splitter. If it is not, then disconnect it from
your Smart TV or ATA set-top box and connect it to the IN connector on one of the RF
splitters (included).
