Push button configuration of multimedia over COAX alliance (MOCA) devices

摘要

A first device coupled to a multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) network may receive, from a second device, an indication that a configuration button on the second device has been pushed. The first device may receive, from a third device, an indication that a configuration button on the third device has been pushed. The first device may allow the second device to be authenticated on the MoCA network if the configuration buttons of the second and third devices were both pushed within a determined amount of time. The first device may prevent the second device from being authenticated on the MoCA network if the configuration button of the second device and the configuration button of the third device were not pushed within a determined amount of time. The indication from the third device may comprise a layer 2 management entity (L2ME) message or a Protocol Information element.
