QuickNetwork QNP Distribution Panel Users Guide |
Congratulations on your purchased of a FutureSmart QNP Distribution Panel.
Your Distribution Panel seamlessly combines both external services and internal signals to give you complete control over which signals or services are used in any location of your home or office.
External Services – External Services are those services that originate outside your home. The three most common services are telephone service, TV service
(this may be antennae, cable or Satellite TV) and, in certain location, high-speed
Internet service.
Internal Signals – Internal Signals are those signals generated inside the home.
Examples of Internal Signals include movies from a DVD player or VCR, pictures from a security camera at the front gate or by the swimming pool, music from your CD player or radio, or MP3 files from your computer. Another example of
Internal signals is sending a print command from the laptop computer in the kitchen to the computer and printer in the home office.
Your Distribution Panel collects all these types of services and signals and gives you the ability to control where they go. If you decide to move your home office or add another computer, your Distribution Panel will allow you to quickly and conveniently reroute the desired services and signals to the new locations. In addition, built in expansion slots give you peace of mind in knowing that when new services or products become available, you can add them to your Distribution Panel.
Contained in this Users Guide is information about your Distribution Panel, its benefits and the ways in which you can control, change or add to your Distribution Panel.
Benefits of a Structured Wiring System
If we compare today’s home to those of the previous decade, we see many differences. One of the biggest changes we find is the amount of electronics, and the types of services that are available. Today’s home have satellite dishes, multiple computers, VCR’s, TV’s and stereo equipment. And services like the
Internet have brought information to us in ways we could not have imagined.
Along with these new products and services comes the need to be able to manage and control them. For instance, which rooms in your home or office receive telephone line 1 and which ones receive line 2? Which rooms do you want to have access to the Internet? What about controlling access to offensive or mature web pages? Which room will you be able to watch Satellite TV in? If you move your home office, can you reroute the telephone line or high-speed
