HPNA3.1 over Phoneline

Smart Ethernet Bridge

User’s Guide

V1.0

INTRODUCTION

This HomePNA to Ethernet bridge
connects any Ethernet device to a high
speed access device or to a Home Net­working LAN for Internet access. This
bridge brings you the newest Ethernet
compatible technology that uses the
telephone wiring as the network’s physi­cal wiring thereby eliminating the need to
install new wiring. It is designed to oper­ate on the telephone wiring installed in
homes.
This bridge allows you to connect PCs
and Ethernet enabled devices, such as
DSL modem, HUB and STB, to a Home
Networking LAN by simply plugging into
the existing RJ-11 jacks.

Features

Hardware Connections

1. Select a convenient location for the
bridge near the PC or Ethernet device
to which it will be connected. The bridge
should be kept away from excessive heat.

2. Using one telephone wire to connect the

HPNA port to RJ-11 jack on the wall. Us­ing another telephone wire to connect the
other Phone Port to a telephone set (or
connect the Phone port to “Phone” port of

splitter of ADSL modem).

3. Connect the LAN1/LAN2 port to your
Ethernet-equipped device.

4. Connect the power adapter to the DC5V

port into a wall outlet.

The gure above shows how to connect a

xDSL modem to a home phoneline network.
Follow the same steps to connect any Ether­net device such as a STB or PC, to a home
phoneline network.

Now you should have connected the LAN
port, HPNA port and the DC5V port to the
appropriate devices or lines.

LED will be as:

POWER ON
LAN Link/Act ON
HPNA Link/Act ON

For more information on LEDs,
see section:

“LED Indicators on the Rear Panel”.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The bridge has been designed to be a re­liable and easy to use connection device.
Please refer to the list below to aid in trouble­shooting.

The Power (green) LED is off.

• Make sure the power adapter is properly
plugged into a live electrical outlet.

The LAN (Ethernet) or
HPNA Link/Act LED is off.

• Make sure the connection to these two
ports is secure.

• The Ethernet or HPNA device to which
you are connected should be powered on

and properly congured.
