Hitron CGNVM User’s Guide
NC Type
Each MoCA network has a Network Coordinator (NC)
which acts as a manager for all the other devices on the
cable network.
By default, the NC is chosen from the pool of MoCA
devices based on its suitability (signal strength,
etc.) To base NC status on merit, or if you have
specified another device as “preferred” and do not
want the CGNVM to compete with it, select
Auto-
negotiated
.
When one device is set to be the “preferred” NC, it
will be the NC whenever it is available on the
network (if multiple devices are “preferred”, the
most suitable one will be chosen). Select
Preferred
to add the CGNVM to the preferred
group.
