Network Mitigation

Normally in a network of one master and several slaves they transmit at maximum power in order to 
ensure greater coverage and throughput. It is possible that in a coaxial network are installed two different 
networks,   with   two   masters   and   their   slaves   are   poorly   insulated   from   each   other   or   the   insulation 
provided by the network is not sufficient and interference occurs between adjacent networks 

When several masters coming together or poorly insulated and we form two different networks have the 
option to control the transmission power and reception sensitivity of the devices on a network to mitigate 
the effect these have on a network transmissions next and viceversa . This is done by detecting certain 
packages from nearby networks.

The mitigation Network provides an alternative to the diplexer filter installation for the isolation of data 
networks. We recommend installation of those filters diplexers so as to isolate the different networks in 
the coaxial data, see the product manual for more information. 

If it is not possible to isolate the networks with filters diplexers, Mitigation Network option allow masters 
from each of the networks controlling the transmission power of all the elements in order to mitigate the 
effects that their transmissions have a close network . In the event that this option is not activated, the 
transmissions of other nearby networks are regarded as transmit interference causing a decrease in the 
transfer rate between the devices. 

Do not use this option in case your installation scheme consists of the installation of multiple masters on 
the same coaxial  distribution (multiple AVLN) and not on separate segments (multiple dwellings)
