Terms and Definitions Initialization and Operations In order to ensure consistent operation of MWA1221 devices, this section describes the specific conditions and sequences for startup of the MWA1221 under a set of nominal and anomalous operating conditions. The use of the term Mode within this specification is set of functional requirements that do not dictate any specific system or software design or implementation.Term Definition Boot Mode The first MWA1221 Mode at the start of each power cycle or reset process. Boot Mode checks code validity prior to allowing code to execute, if successful then execute and run the code. Connect Mode When the MWA1221 is attempting to establish communications with the backhaul device. Normal Mode The MWA1221 has established communication with the backhaul device and is able to pass messages back and forth between them. CDL (Code Download) Mode The MWA1221 supports TR069 Download RPC method to load the new image.

Normal BLUE Solid CDL YELLOW Blinking once a second When the MWA1221 is actively downloading, validating and writing to memory a new code object.
Boot Mode The MWA1221 product supports the Boot Mode process as illustrated in the following figure: The MWA1221 would be in Boot Mode when power is first applied or a reboot/restart of code image has occurred. The MWA1221 supports maximum two code image stored within flash. The execution options are: a) It would attempt to execute and run the existing code image if only a single code image is stored within flash b) It would attempt to execute and run the current code image if a current and a previous code image are stored within flash c) It would execute and run the previous code image if the APS fails to execute and run the current code image and when both a current and previous code image are stored within flash. The MWA1221 would transition to Connect Mode if the code image successfully executes and runs.
Connect Mode The MWA1221 product supports the Connect Mode process as illustrated in the following figure: MWA1221 would transition to MoCA Backhaul Mode or Ethernet Backhaul Mode if the product has successfully entered Connect Mode. The MWA1221 product would use fixed 1150MHz channel for MoCA interface to join MoCA network by default. During IP address assignment stage, the MWA1221 supports IPv6 and IPv4 on both interfaces.  The MWA1221 would be assigned a link-local IPv6 address, using neighbor discovery to detect duplicate addresses  The MWA1221 would initiate Route Solicitations   The MWA1221 would provision interface with global IPv6 address with RA prefix and interface specific address and provision interface with IPv6 link-local address if Router Announcement (RA) received and Autonomous flag == 1 and prefix != FE80::/10.  The MWA1221 would provision interface IPv6 link-local address only if no RA received from Router Solicitations.   The MWA1221 would provision interface IPv6 link-local address only if RA is received and Autonomous flag == 0 or prefix == FE80::/10   The MWA1221 would initiate DHCPv6 if global IPv6 address provisioning fails.
 The MWA1221 would be assigned both DHCPv6 address and IPv6 link-local address if DHCPv6 is successful.  The MWA1221 would initiate DHCPv4 if DHCPv6 provisioning fails.  The MWA1221 would be assigned both DHCPv4 address and IPv6 link-local address if DHCPv4 is successful. MWA1221 uses UPnP protocol to discovery the uplink home gateway. If it is found, the MWA1221 product would enter MoCA Backhaul Mode if MoCA Interface is UP state, otherwise the MWA1221 would enter Ethernet Backhaul Mode. In MoCA Backhaul Mode, The MWA1221 products bridge Ethernet frames received on the MoCA interface from the LAN to the 10/100/1000 Base-TX interface. Likewise, the MWA1221 products bridges Ethernet frames received on the 10/100/1000 Base-TX interface to the MoCA interface, which in turn forwards to the MoCA connected LAN. The MWA1221 product also extends the Wi-Fi coverage within the home, bridging Ethernet frames received on MoCA to the WLAN and likewise from the WLAN to MoCA. One can also connect an IP Client to the Ethernet interface in the MOCA backhaul case. The IP client set-top box product connected to Ethernet interface may also receive Ethernet frames from the WLAN from devices in communication with the IP client set-top box product and likewise send Ethernet frames to the WLAN to devices that the IP client set-top box is in communication with. The MWA1221 would use a static private IP address of 192.168.100.101 on the Ethernet interface in MoCA Backhaul Mode. In Ethernet Backhaul Mode, The MWA1221 product extends the Wi-Fi coverage within the home operating as a WiFi-Ethernet-Bridge, bridging Ethernet frames received on Ethernet to the WLAN and likewise from the WLAN to Ethernet.
Normal Mode When connected with gateway from MoCA interface or Ethernet interface, MWA1221 will enter Normal Mode. MWA1221 will try to detect whether the connected gateway support AutoSync feature via UPnP message. The Wi-Fi configuration could be synced from gateway following Specific “Wi-Fi AutoSync” protocol, or set manually on web GUI. After entering Normal Mode, MWA1221 will wait for Wi-Fi AutoSync specific UPnP messages from gateway on either MoCA interface or Ethernet interface in 180 seconds. As if it received the specific UPNP message within 180 seconds, MWA1221 will enable Wi-Fi configuration auto-sync feature. The gateway will push all the Wi-Fi configurations to MWA1221 by “WECB AutoSync” protocol and enable the Wi-Fi radio and SSID automatically. If gateway supports “Wi-Fi AutoSync” feature, user could also modify the synchronized Wi-Fi configuration via Web GUI. The auto-sync feature covers the following configuration parameters.  Radio Frequency (2.4GHz / 5GHz)  Radio Modes (802.11n, 802.11ac, etc.)  Radio Channels  Radio Channel Bandwidth  Radio Beacon Interval
 Radio DTIM Interval  Radio Guard Interval  Radio Co-existence  SSID Enable/Disable  SSID Name  SSID Mac Address (BSSID)  SSID Broadcast  SSID vLan ID  SSID Encryption Security Mode  SSID Encryption Passphrase  SSID Encryption Rekey Interval  SSID Encryption Radius Server IP/Port  SSID Encryption Radius Secret  SSID QoS (WMM/UAPSD)  SSID Max Clients  SSID isolation  SSID Mac Filter  WPS Method  WPS Pin Code MWA1221 also provides Web GUI for User to configure Wi-Fi. If gateway does not support “Wi-Fi AutoSync” feature, MWA1221 will enable Wi-Fi by default configuration. User could change Wi-Fi configuration from Web GUI. Some management related web page such as MoCA, VLAN, WiFi, etc are prohibited for home users. VLAN ID could only be set from auto-sync feature. Web GUI does not support VLAN ID modification. If gateway does not support Wi-Fi auto-sync, all of the SSIDs on MWA1221 will not add VLAN ID. Here are the details about web page privilege for administrators and home users.Configuration Name Admin Home users System Upgrade/Downgrade O X Factory Reset O O Reboot O O MoCA Enable O X Channel Selection O O Channel O O Beacon Power Reduction O X MoCA Privacy O X WiFi Operating Mode O O Channel O O Channel Bandwidth O X SSID Enable O O
