Abstract:
A network-capable device is configured to: automatically detect the presence of a MoCA network (or other network, depending on the network protocol in the application environment), and configure itself for communication on that network at the appropriate communication frequencies. The network-capable device can be configured to create a new network (e.g., a new MoCA network) if there is no network broadcast signal within a band. Preferably, the network-capable device requires little or no user intervention to configure itself for operation at network operating frequencies or to create a new network where none is detected.

Claim (Index 38):
A self-configuring network device for operation in a premises-based wired communication network operating in accordance with a communication protocol, the network device comprising:\n a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing program instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the network device, without user intervention and prior to the network device attempting to form its own communication network, to at least:\n scan a first plurality of communication channels in a first frequency band associated with cable TV signals and scan a second plurality of communication channels in a second frequency band separate from the first frequency band and associated with satellite TV signals; \n determine whether a signal detected in a first communication channel of the first and second pluralities of communication channels is from a device that is not operating in accordance with the communication protocol, by at least in part:\n utilizing first determining criteria if the first communication channel is a channel of the first plurality of communication channels; and \n utilizing second determining criteria, different from the first determining criteria, if the first communication channel is a channel of the second plurality of communication channels; and \n \n if the detected signal is from a device that is not operating in accordance with the communication protocol, then operate the network device in a manner that avoids utilization of at least the first communication channel.
