Introduction
1.1 Overview
The EOC350-TS is an Ethernet over Coax Termination System. The EOC350-TA is an Ethernet over
Coax Terminal Adapter. One centrally-located EOC350-TS serves many EOC350-TAs distributed in
each unit of a Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU). The following applications show how they integrate
with the existing TV installation in a single unit of an MDU.
1.1.1 Integrating the EOC350-TS and EOC350-TA with Satellite TV
In this application, the EOC350-TS and EOC350-TA have the following media types.
Ethernet. The EOC350-TS receives an Internet feed via an IP gateway and encodes Ethernet
frames on to the coaxial cable connected to the OUT socket. The EOC350-TA decodes the
Ethernet frames for Ethernet devices such as the PC.
Coaxial. The EOC350-TS receives a satellite TV signal over coaxial cable via the IN socket and
mixes this with the encoded Ethernet frames. The combined signal is sent through the coaxial
cable connected to the OUT socket. The EOC350-TA takes the combined signal from its IN
socket, separates the satellite TV signal and sends it to it’s OUT socket for the TV.
