During Installation

• Do not place the cable terminal in an enclosed area where the cooling vents are blocked or impede the flow of air

through the ventilation openings.
• Install the terminal so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, do not place the
terminal on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block the ventilation openings.
• Install the terminal away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers and stoves. Installation of the terminal
near consumer electronics devices, such as stereo receiver/amplifiers and televisions, is permitted as long as the air
surrounding the terminal does not exceed 40º C (104º F).
• Place the terminal on a flat surface not prone to vibration or impact.
• Do not install the terminal in an area where condensation occurs.
• To prevent the temporary loss of guide data and cause a temporarily non-responding terminal, do not plug the AC

power cord into a switched power outlet.
• To avoid shock and vibration damage to the internal hard drive, do not move the terminal while it is plugged in.
• To allow the hard drive to spin down and park its heads, wait at least 10 seconds after disconnecting power before

moving the terminal.

Overview

System Overview
This section introduces key concepts relevant to installing the Motorola Whole Home IP
Video Network CPE. It describes:

•

The passive optical network (PON) connecting the customer premises to the
headend

•

The Motorola Whole Home IP Video Network that you install at the customer
premises

•
•

Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA) technology
Multi-room DVR

The Motorola Whole Home IP Video Network connects to the fiber-to-the-premises
(FTTP) passive optical network (PON). It uses MoCA technology to provide an integrated
Ethernet, IP, and coaxial radio frequency (RF) network. This network enables the delivery
of services such as interactive video, high-speed data, and IP telephony to residential and
small-business customers using existing RF coaxial cabling.

PON Overview
A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber optic network capable of carrying a high
volume of traffic over a single fiber. The same fiber carries data:

•

Downstream from the optical line terminator (OLT) at the headend to the optical
network terminator (ONT) at the customer premises

•

Upstream from the ONT back to the headend (also referred to as the return path)

Figure 5 – PON overview

QIP7000 (P2) Series Hybrid QAM/IP HD Set-top Terminal • Installation Manual

This document is uncontrolled pending incorporation in a Motorola CMS

Overview

The FTTP PON carries the following services:
Service

Description

Two-way
video service

Video services include enhanced interactive services such as video on demand (VoD). Video
is carried over the PON to the ONT and then over the in-home coaxial network. Digital and
out-of-band (OOB) carriers are supported on the 50 to 862 MHz spectrum.
Video traffic on the PON consists of:
• Downstream digital standard- and high-definition television (HDTV) video services; for
example, local broadcast channels, Disney®, ESPN®, and other services.
• Downstream IP data; for example, streaming VoD channels.
• Upstream IP data; for example, VoD purchase data.
• The Motorola MediaCipher® conditional access system:
• Provides subscription, event, firmware download, and set-top terminal management
• Performs real-time encryption for broadcast programs and pre-encryption for VoD
content
• Uses the OOB RF downstream channel for all control and management functions
• Standard and high-definition VoD services are delivered using constant bit rate MPEG-2
single program transport streams. The MPEG-2 video is transported in User Datagram
Protocol (UDP) packets addressed to the set-top that are metered to avoid congestion.
All return communication is through IP.

High-speed
data service

The PON provides data service using the same management infrastructure as digital
subscriber loop (DSL) service.

Telephony

A separate private virtual circuit carries telephone service over the PON.

Whole Home IP Video Customer Premises Network—Embedded MoCA BHR
The Motorola Whole Home IP Video Network carries the following over coaxial cable:

•

Video QAM MPEG-2 encoded broadcast services over the full 50 to 864 MHz
spectrum

•

IP over coaxial for interactive traffic and VoD Streaming over the 1125 to 1525 MHz
spectrum

Figure 7 – MoCA RF spectrum
Each MoCA set-top requires an IP address for configuration and management, but do not
require any other IP services. To minimize network IP address requirements, the MoCA
uses the Link-Local IP address space.
Link-Local IP addressing enables MoCA set-tops to operate on a private local area
network (LAN) using a defined range of reserved IP addresses. The MoCA set-tops in a
home automatically self-assign an IP address in the range above 169.254.1.18.
The Link-Local address space is registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers

Installation

Before You Begin
Before you move or change components on the subscriber’s entertainment system:

•
•
•

Be sure you have all required tools and equipment.

•

Check the home entertainment system. Determine if you are connecting to a
Standard-Definition (analog NTSC supporting RF input, Baseband Composite video,
or S-Video) or a High-Definition TV (Component video, HDMI, DVI or IEEE 1394).

•

Determine if the subscriber has other equipment to be connected to the terminal
(Home Theater or A/V receiver, VCR, etc.). Verify that you have the necessary cables
and other required items.

•

If the customer ordered multi-room DVR, have the customer specify one QIP7200 as
the media hub. Be sure you install the media hub before connecting any other settops.

•

If the customer ordered a QIP7200 but did not order multi-room DVR, install the
QIP7200 at the most likely media hub location before connecting the other set-tops.

•

For the QIP7200 only, be sure all previously-recorded programs are erased from the
hard drive.

•

From the labels on the bottom of each device, record the STB MAC address and
serial number of each set-top.

Review the installation instructions.
Check the home coaxial topology. Be sure no cable network or satellite dish is
connected. Be sure there are no amplifiers that could interfere with the MoCA
network. Determine the numbers and type of splitters used. Verify that the signal at
each coaxial outlet you will use is in the range -10 to +10 dBmV. If necessary,
replace or move amplifiers or splitters.

STB MAC: 1234567890987654
Figure 11 – QIP Set-Top MAC Addresses

During the installation:
1. Connect to the ONT.
2. Connect the home router.
3. Connect the RF coaxial cable to the RF connector in on each set-top.
4. Connect the A/V connections for each set-top to the home theater equipment.

•

After you finish connecting the components:

1. Perform the Operational Check for the Remote Control. Be sure regular and VoD
channels display.
2. Optimize the high-definition settings.

Checking the Home Coaxial Network Topology
This section assumes you are networking two or more QIP set-tops. Before you install
the Motorola Whole Home IP Video Network hardware:
1. Create a table listing:

•
•
•

Every room where you plan to install a set-top
The signal levels you measured at the RF cable outlets
The HFC MAC Address on the label beneath the set-top used in that room

Optionally, you can include information such as the set-top type, serial numbers, and
anything else you or the service provider considers useful.

2. Use your TV signal tester at the coaxial outlet where you will connect any MoCA settop box and router. Verify that the signal level of the highest downstream digital
channel frequency is between -10 and 10 dBmV. Record your readings in a table
similar to Table 4-1. A signal level of +0 dBmV is ideal.
Note: If the signal level is less than -10 dBmV, you must correct the problem before
installing the set-top.
3. If possible, determine whether there are one or more in-line coaxial RF amplifiers. If
possible, move the existing amplifier to a position near the point of entry. See
Bypassing an Amplifier in Section 5, Troubleshooting.
4. If possible, determine how many splitters, and what kind, are in use. An older
splitter, such as an old eight-way splitter, may have unacceptably high throughput
loss. Replace any splitter cascades having a loss of 18 dB or more.

574702-001 a

This document is uncontrolled pending incorporation in a Motorola CMS

Installation

5. If the signal level at one or more coaxial outputs remains unacceptably low, the
power loss may be caused by long coaxial cable runs using cable of insufficient
quality. For example, a 330 ft (100 m) cable can reduce the power by 20 to 27 dB,
depending on the cable quality. This results in a very low power level at the outlet of
about -5 to -10 dBmV or lower. This loss, combined with loss from a splitter, causes
marginal MoCA network performance.
6. If you make any changes to the network, repeat steps 1 and 2.
CAUTION!

Be sure all connections are properly secured. Poor F-connector fittings or poor grounding
can cause ingress.

Video Connection Options
Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for the subscriber’s
home entertainment system. To determine the available video inputs on the TV, check
the manual supplied with the TV or the TV itself.
The QIP7000 series offers the following video outputs:

Table 5 – QIP7000 series video outputs

The YPbPr outputs provide component video, the most widely
supported HD video connection.

HDMI or IEEE- HDTV
1394
and
SDTV

HDMI and IEEE-1394 offer higher quality HD video than component
video. If the TV has an HDMI or a DVI input, use the HDMI output
instead of the IEEE-1394 output.
HDMI and IEEE-1394 are video and audio connections. If you use
HDMI or IEEE-1394, no separate audio connection to the TV is
required.
HDMI is compatible with DVI. If the TV has a DVI input, you can use
an HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter to connect to the QIP7000
series HDMI connector.
If you use IEEE-1394, on-screen graphics do not display.

S-Video

Audio Connection Options
When connecting to a home theater receiver, depending on its inputs, you can use the
following QIP7000 series audio outputs:
Connection Type

Description

Digital audio optical
(S/PDIF) or digital
audio coaxial (RCA)

If the receiver supports it, use the digital audio optical (S/PDIF) or digital
audio coaxial (RCA) audio output to deliver Dolby Digital audio to a Dolby
Digital home theater receiver.
Audio is available via HDMI and IEEE-1394 and no further audio connection
is required. For RF output, no further audio connection is required.

Baseband
Audio L and R

If the audio receiver does not support Dolby Digital, use the baseband
AUDIO L and R outputs to connect to the audio receiver.

Connect the stereo audio cable to the AUDIO L and R connectors on the QIP7000 series
and the audio left and right connectors on the TV. If the equipment supports it, use the
optical S/PDIF or coaxial digital RCA output instead of the AUDIO L and R outputs. In most
cases, these outputs offer better audio quality, including support for 5.1 Surround Sound.
The cabling diagrams show sample audio/video (A/V) connections to an audio receiver,
where the receiver functions as an A/V router.
When connecting to an audio receiver, reference its installation instructions for directions
on connecting to baseband and digital (S/PDIF) audio ports.
Note: The VCR and TV receive their A/V signals from the currently selected input device
on the audio receiver. This is important when the subscriber has another A/V device such
as a DVD player, a secondary VCR, a CD player, or other electronic component. We
recommend connecting the TV to the monitor output so on-screen menus for the
receiver can be displayed. (In many cases, the receivers themselves have interactive
on-screen menus.)

Clearing the Hard Drive
On a previously-used cable terminal, delete all recorded programs from the hard drive
before installing it at a new subscriber location. This prevents your new subscriber from
viewing programming they may not have purchased or may not want to see.
To prevent subscribers from accidentally deleting all of their recorded programs, a
specific set of keystrokes is required to clear the hard drive. Having a TV connected is
optional.
To clear the hard drive:
1. Start the diagnostics as described in the Diagnostics section; d01 is displayed on the
front-panel display.
2. Using a remote control, within five seconds, press REPLAY, MY DVR three times, and
LIVE TV. On some remote controls, the MY DVR key may be labeled LIST.
3. If you correctly enter this key sequence in five seconds or less, the hard drive is
cleared and the front-panel displays Clr.
4. If Clr is not displayed, re-enter the key sequence in step 2.

Connecting Homes with Multiple Existing Cable Drops
Some customer premises may have multiple coaxial inputs from one or more taps,
typically entering different locations in the home. For the PON, it is practical to have one
connection only per customer premises. You must use a splitter and cabling to connect
any additional drops to the ONT. The routing will depend on the layout of the home and
customer preference.

Connecting the Home Router
To connect the home router:
Connect the Ethernet cable you routed from the ONT to one of the Ethernet ports on the
home router.
Be sure the router is powered on.
Enable Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on the router. Follow the
instructions provided with the router.

Installation Overview
1. Determine if you are connecting to a:

High-Definition
TV or monitor

Use the component video (YPbPr), HDMI, or IEEE-1394 outputs. No other video
connection supports HDTV.
If the TV has no HDMI input but does have a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI
adapter or cable to the HDMI out connector on the QIP set-top instead of the
IEEE-1394 connection, and the DVI-HDTV connector on your TV.

StandardDefinition TV

Connect the S-Video connector using an S-video cable, or connect the
composite video connector using a composite (RCA phono) cable. If the TV only
has a coaxial RF input, connect it to the QIP7000 series RF OUT connector.

2. Determine if you are connecting the audio to a home theater receiver or directly to
the TV:
For an HDMI or IEEE-1394 video connection, no additional audio connections to
the TV are required.
For a DVI video connection, additional audio connections to the TV are required.
If the receiver or TV has a digital audio (S/PDIF) input, use the digital audio
OPTICAL (S/PDIF) or COAXIAL (S/PDIF) outputs.
Otherwise, use the baseband left and right audio outputs.
3. Locate the cabling diagram(s) that best match the subscriber’s configuration.
4. Connect the audio and video cables in a manner matching that diagram.
5. Determine if you are connecting to a data device (see Data Device Connections in
this section). For installation details, refer to the instructions included with the data
device.
6. Connect the cable terminal to the coaxial cable wall outlet.
7. Perform the operational check for the remote control.
8. Optimize the high-definition settings. See Optimizing the High-Definition Settings in
this section.

Agile OOB Tuner Hunting
An OOB frequency can be selected manually by pressing the MENU button while in the
OOB Status diagnostics screen. To exit this mode, press the MENU button a second time,
or press the POWER button.
If the set-top is in the process of hunting for an OOB frequency, control of frequency
selection is suspended, i.e. when the set-top is hunting, the ability to press the Menu
button on the OOB status screen to display MAN FREQ is not available.

Summary of Manual Selection of the OOB Frequency (OSD Frequency Override in Hunted
Mode)
The manual override frequency capability is only displayed if the box is not currently
hunting and the operator presses the MENU key while OOB OSD diagnostics are
displayed. The MAN Freq displays the LKC and allows the operator to select (via scroll
up/down) a specific frequency to check if a valid OOB is on that specific frequency. The
MAN Freq parameter is the OOB frequency selected in the frequency selection mode
and displayed in MHz, with the specific values of 75.25, 104.20, 72.75, 92.25, 98.25,
107.25, 107.40, 110.25, 116.25, and 103.75.
1. When in the OOB Receiver Status Diagnostic, press the MENU button to enter the
frequency selection mode. The frequency of the last known carrier is displayed on
the Front Panel. The OSD displays a new “MAN FREQ” line at the bottom of the
screen, which indicates the last known carrier frequency. At this point, if desired, the
frequency change mode can be exited by pressing the MENU key a second time.
2. Use the UP/DOWN channel or cursor keys to scroll through all 10 frequencies until
the desired new OOB frequency is found. The new frequency selections will appear
on the Front Panel and on the “MAN FREQ” line of the OSD. When the last known
frequency is selected, a DOT will appear in the middle-upper part of the Front Panel.
3. When the desired new frequency has been selected, press the SELECT key to start
the search. The manual frequency search will last up to 40 seconds. As the set-top
searches, the frequency being searched for will flash on the front panel. On the
OSD, the “MAN FREQ” line of text will be cleared, the “HUNT MODE” will display
“FIX” to indicate a search on a fixed frequency, and the “OOB FREQ” field will
change to the frequency being searched for.
4. If the frequency is found with the proper EMM Provider ID, then the front panel will
display the normal OOB receiver status. The OSD “LKC” field will change to display
the new frequency.
5. If after 40 seconds the frequency search is not successful, the product will perform a
warm reset.
6. TO ABORT A Search without waiting the 40 seconds, the POWER key can be pressed
to cause an immediate warm reset.
Note: The front panel will display “hunt” after a cold reset from the front panel. This
indicates that the product is in a Round Robin Hunt Mode. The message “hunt” will
continue to be displayed until the proper stream is detected.

the wall jack.
• If the QIP set-top video output is connected to a home theater unit, verify

that the home theater unit is powered on and set to the appropriate input
source.
• If the QIP set-top video output is connected to a TV through an HDMI
connection, power off the TV and then power off the QIP set-top. Wait one
second and then power on the devices.
Not all HDTVs can display every output format (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i)
available on the QIP set-top. To select a different format:
1. Ensure that your QIP set-top is plugged into a power outlet and is turned
off.
2. Ensure the TV is turned on and tuned to the appropriate channel for the
set-top
3. Press the MENU key on the front panel. Your settings are displayed on
the QIP set-top front panel display.
4. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys on the front panel to display the HDMI/YPbPr
OUTPUT setting.
5. Press the ► key to cycle through the available output formats until a
picture displays on the TV.
No graphics or
program guides
appear on the TV
screen

If you use the IEEE-1394 connection, on-screen graphics, including closed
captions and program guides, are not displayed by the QIP set-top. Onscreen graphics and captions may still be overlaid by your TV, if enabled.
Alternatively, use HDMI or component video instead.

No closed captions • Verify on the User Settings menu that closed captions are enabled on the
display
QIP set-top.
• Verify that closed captions are enabled on the TV.
Note: Closed captioning may not be available on the current program.

Widescreen TVs display 4:3 programs in this format unless set to Stretch.
Turn on the 4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings menu. This enables
most widescreen TVs to stretch the video to fill the screen (see your TV
manual for information about stretching 4:3 video).
• If the QIP7000 series is connected to a widescreen TV, verify that the TV
TYPE is set to 16:9 in the User Settings menu.
Many HD programs are broadcast in pillar-box format with black bars to the
left and right of the picture. These programs are broadcast in 16:9 HD
formats, even though the video is not 16:9.

Problem

Possible Solution

There are black
bars above and
below the picture

All 4:3 HDTVs display HD programs in letterbox format (black bars above and
below the picture) because of the shape of the display screen.
• Turn on the 4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings menu. This
enables most standard screen TVs to display a full screen picture when the
QIP7000 series is tuned to a 4:3 program.
• Set the TV TYPE to 4:3 Pan-Scan. This enables the QIP7000 series to
remove the black bars above and below the picture when possible.
Some SD programs are broadcast in the letterbox format with black bars
above and below the picture. Some widescreen TVs offer a zoom feature
that may be able to remove the black bars (see your TV manual for
information about zooming 4:3 video).

There are black
This may occur on a 4:3 TV if the 4:3 OVERRIDE setting is OFF. To set 4:3
bars on all four
SD programming to fill the screen, depending on the capabilities of the TV,
sides of the picture set 4:3 OVERRIDE to 480i or 480p.
This may occur on a 16:9 TV if the active video for an SD broadcast is in
letterbox format. To confirm, wait for a commercial or look for a graphic,
such as a network logo. If the commercial fills the screen from top to
bottom, or the graphic appears below the active video, the program is being
letterboxed by the broadcaster. You can minimize this by activating the zoom
feature on the TV.
A broadcaster may include black bars on either side of a widescreen
broadcast. This is called a “hybrid” aspect ratio and results in a black border
surrounding the video on a 4:3 TV. Because this is part of the broadcast, the
QIP7000 series cannot correct the video. You may be able to minimize the
border using the zoom feature on the TV.
Colors do not
appear correctly

Be sure to match up each signal to the same YPbPr connection on the TV.
Otherwise, colors will not appear correctly on your TV.

Troubleshooting

IP Network Issues
Insufficient RF Network Throughput
If the RF light on the BHR is flashing after you connect it to a set-top, use the Connected
Home Status diagnostic to display the data rate for each MoCA network link (see
Troubleshooting)
The Transmit data rate between each MoCA node is shown on the Link Status page. The
MoCA node can be correlated to the MAC address of each device on the Connected
Home diagnostic.
The Link Status table also shows which MoCA nodes have insufficient throughput
between links (evident by the ‘Bw’ indicator that precedes the MoCA node ID). Make
note of the MoCA node ID on the Link Status page and the associated MAC address on
the preceding Connected Home page for each device to track insufficient RF Network
Throughput.
The Link Status page displays a table with entries for each MoCA network device:
1. Rows and columns representing each MoCA device on the network are labeled with
the MoCA Node ID.
2. In the Link Status table, asterisks (***) are displayed when there is no link, i.e., the
‘To Node’ = ‘From Node’.
If all displayed Data Rates in the Link Status table are above the required threshold and
the ‘Bw’ indicator does not appear, the network links to the BHR are normal.
If any displayed Data Rate is below the required threshold, the network may not meet
the throughput requirements. Replace the splitter nearest the ONT with a 2 GHz splitter.
After replacing the splitter, reenter the OSD diagnostics for Link Status. If all Data Rates
are above the required threshold, the network links to the connected BHR are normal. If
any Data Rate remains below the required threshold, continue replacing splitters until all
Data Rates are above the required threshold.
If you have replaced every splitter and any Data Rate remains below the required
threshold, there may be a faulty coaxial cable in one or more branches.
A difference of 10 to 20 Mbps in the To and From rates for the same connection may
indicate an active device, such as an in-line amplifier, in the coaxial cable between the
two devices. See “Bypassing” an Amplifier below.
As long as the RF light on the BHR continues to flash, repeat this procedure.
If you make any changes, repeat all tests.

Troubleshooting

Bypassing an Amplifier
To bypass the MoCA signal around an in-line amplifier that cannot handle two-way traffic
nor has insufficient bandwidth for MoCA:
1. Locate the line amplifier by tracing the coaxial cable back towards the ONT.
2. Disconnect the existing RF cable from the amplifier.
3. Move the existing amplifier to a position near the point of entry.
As shown in the figure below, connect each existing coaxial cable to the diplexer.
Connect a new coaxial cable between the high pass ports on the diplexers. Connect the
existing amplifier between the low pass ports on the diplexers.
