Connecting the Cables
To establish a new coax networking system by HP-51M, reroute the CATV/Antenna signal source over coax toward HP-51M ‘TV/Antenna’ port and connect HP-51M ‘HCNA’ port to the original coax entrance to building. HP-51M works as a Combiner for TV and HCNA signal. In each Dwelling Unit, use the HCNA EP to extract the TV signal and Ethernet packets. See Figure 2 for the detail cabling in one MDU,

You can also use other Combiner or Mixer-Splitter with HP-51M to build the same system, see the following Figure
3 for different cabling,
Figure 3: Different Cabling of HP-51M
NOTE: After power up HP-51M, the led ‘SynMode’ will always be glowing, and led ‘Link/Act’ will light up for at least one EP is detected on the HCNA network. A dimmed led ‘Link/Act’ shows no EP attached to the HCNA network.
NOTE: The minimum attenuation between Master and EP is 12dB. EP is usually connected to the coaxial cable via a Tap device that provides enough attenuation (contributes more than 20dB). If you intend to connect the Master and EP directly for test purpose, please add the attenuator that exceeds 12dB to the coaxial cable.
Verification
After you have finished the installation, you should be able to access HP-51M through Ethernet link or through HCNA link (via Host PC behind EP) to verify the installation is completed. (See next Chapter for details).

This chapter describes the configuration procedure for your bridge.
Configuration Methods
To access and configure your bridge, choose one of the following methods:
♦ Use Web Browser ♦ Use Telnet Program ♦ Use SNMP Manager or MIB Browser
Use Web Browser
Web browser is the easiest tool to configure the bridge. The factory default IP address of HP-51M is ‘192.168.1.1’ and the default subnet mask is ‘255.255.255.0’. To access the bridge with default IP, your PC should be within the same IP network as the bridge HP-51M. That is, your PC's IP address should be as "192.168.1.xxx". For instance, you may connect your PC with the bridge directly by one Ethernet cable between your PC's Ethernet adapter and bridge's port LAN1. Also configures your PC's TCP/IP setting to fixed IP as "192.168.1.xxx", subnet mask as "255.255.255.0", disable DHCP option. Make your PC and the bridge within the same "192.168.1.xxx" network. Type in 192.168.1.1 in your browser’s website navigating field, as the following,
The bridge will prompt you a window for password authorization. The factory default Username is ‘admin’, also Password is ‘admin’. Please change it to a more secured password after you login successfully. Here shows the main configuration menus on the browser,
DYNAMIX HP-51M Coax MDU Master Bridge User’s Guide

System Setup (TCP/IP Properties)
The main window contains the left sub-window for the items to be configured, and the right sub-window displays the contents for the selected item. Click your mouse on the item in the left window will pop out the corresponding item-window in the right side. Click on the ‘Apply’ button (or ‘OK’ button in some screens) will submit your new setting into the bridge and will take effect immediately.
System Assets (Information)
Click on the bottom-right ‘Info’ icon will pop out the following window,
EP (User) Management
Refer the following Figure 4 as the example for generic EP management. Each EP is identified by its built-in HCNA MAC address. The HCNA device resides at HP-51M is regarded as the Master (Local) device, and is used to
DYNAMIX HP-51M Coax MDU Master Bridge User’s Guide
7
manage other connected Slave EPs. The HCNA MAC exists only in HCNA (coax) domain, and is unaware for any EP end-user. System manager use system IP address and Ethernet MAC address to access HP-51M. Each HP-51M device should be stamped with both Ethernet MAC and HCNA MAC for identification.
Figure 4: EP Management Architecture
Firmware/Driver Files
HP-51M flash ROM is capable of storing the following files:
1. System bootcode (OS bootloader)
2. System firmware (OS)
3. Local (Master) HCNA driver for chipset 3110 (resides at HP-51M)
4. EP (Slave) HCNA drivers for chipset 3010 (resides at EP)
5. Smart EP (Slave) HCNA drivers for chipset 3110 (resides at Smart EP like HP-51S).
6. HCNA physical connection diagnosis utility
To upgrade any one of them, you need to follow the 2-stage procedure. First to ‘Upload’ the file onto HP-51M Upload Area, then do the real upgrade by ‘Activate’ it on demand -- the file will move into Working Area for running. Refer the following section entitled “Example to Upload then Activate System Firmware and HCNA
Driver” for more details.
EP
Open ‘EP Management’ window, click on ‘Refresh’ button first to scan all connected EPs. For example,
DYNAMIX HP-51M Coax MDU Master Bridge User’s Guide

Each row represents for one EP, here we have one Master (Local) HCNA device (on the top) and 7 extra Slave EP devices shown on the window. The first two are EPs based on 3010, follows three Smart EPs based on 3110 (or called Configurable EPs), and the last two EPs that are powered off.
Smart EP
Denote an EP whose Ethernet properties are configurable. Based on 3110 chipset, with built-in simple management function, its Ethernet settings can be configured by HP-51M. Refer “Master/EP Ethernet Properties”. In contrast to Smart EP, EP based on 3010 chipset will not be denoted as ‘Smart’ and is not configurable in its Ethernet properties.
For each shown column,
Sel : click on ‘Sel’ button will select all listed on-line EPs at once for EP HCNA driver upgrade, or just
designate the EP one by one for EP HCNA driver upgrade. The top row is the Master device (denoted ‘Local’ in field Note).
Link : light for HCNA device current connection status.
Green:EP is active -- on-line. For Master device, green always. Gray: EP is not active -- off-line, either user powers it off or cabling has trouble. (‘NA’ means value Not
Applicable/Available since setting value in this field is stored inside EP and the EP is unreachable
now.)
MAC : HCNA MAC address.
F/W : the current queried working (running) HCNA driver version
Model : the current queried working HCNA model name
Note : used to denote EP end-user, for recording username or address or specific message. Mark ‘Local’ for
Master HCNA device.
DYNAMIX HP-51M Coax MDU Master Bridge User’s Guide
9
Config : configure Master’s/Smart EP’s both HomePNA and Ethernet properties or EP’s sole HomePNA
properties.
Del : Delete the off-line EP’s profile, to save the EP properties profile space of HP-51M.
Test : run the built-in diagnostic functions. Refer “Diagnosis” for more details.
Click on each device’s ‘HPNA’ button can open the window to configure its HomePNA properties. Click on ‘Ether’ button to configure its Ethernet properties—only Master and Smart EP support this Ether-configure function. Click on ‘Test’ button can diagnose the noise of HCNA itself and the physical connection quality between Master and EP.
Properties Profile – Stored the Settings
HP-51M will query and store the setting values of individual on-line EP into its nonvolatile memory automatically, include HomePNA properties and Ethernet properties as a profile. And it shows the monitored EP status: green light in ‘Link’ field means EP is ‘ON’, gray light otherwise. While EP is off-line and doesn’t need any service, you may delete its obsolete profile manually to save HP-51M storage space. HP-51M could keep up to 32 profiles, and serve up to 1 master plus 31 on-line EPs concurrently.
Master HomePNA Properties (HPNA)
Security Mode
The communication between EPs is isolated intentionally. EP cannot talk to each other. It is the default security mode and unchangeable.
Privacy Mode
Privacy prevents unauthorized EP from accessing the HCNA network controlled by Master HCNA device. While ‘Privacy Mode’ is ‘ON’, Master will serve the EP only if its ‘Privacy Key’ matches with the Master’s. The ‘Privacy Key’ acts like EP’s password granted by Master. Open the Master privacy configuration window by clicking on its ‘HPNA’ button,
The ‘Privacy Mode’ value for Master (Local device): Off: It allows all EPs to transmit and receive packets through HP-51M. Regardless of the ‘Privacy Key’ values
setting in Master device.
On: HP-51M will communicate with EPs if they own the same ‘Privacy Key’ while the ‘Privacy Mode’ is
turned ‘ON’. There should be only one key exists in one coax networking system. EP with unmatched key will not be allowed to transmit any packets through HP-51M if ‘Privacy Mode’ is ‘ON’.
The factory default mode is ‘Off’ and key is ‘0x0’ (states in hexadecimal). Once you activate the ‘Privacy Mode’ and set up the ‘Privacy Key’ in HP-51M (the setting values), you need to upgrade Master and all allowable EPs’
