CC100 Master Bridge User’s Guide

Connecting the Cables

To establish a new coax networking system through the CC100, reroute the CATV/Antenna signal source over coax
toward the CC100 ‘TV/Antenna’ port and connect the CC100 ‘HCNA’ port to the original coax entrance to the building. The CC100 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 detailed cabling in one MDU,
Figure 2: Detailed cabling of CC100
3
CC100Master Bridge User’s Guide
You can also use other Combiner’s or Mixer-Splitter’s with the CC100 to build the same system. See the following Figure 3 for different cabling.
Figure 3: Different Cabling of CC100
NOTE: After powering up the CC100, the LED ‘SynMode’ will always be glowing and LED ‘Link/Act’ will light up if at least one EP is detected on the HCNA network. A dimmed LED ‘Link/Act’ shows if no EP is attached to
the HCNA network.
NOTE: The minimum attenuation between Master and EP is 12dB. The 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 purposes, please add the attenuator that exceeds 12dB to the coaxial cable.

Verification

After you have finished the installation, you should be able to access the CC100 through Ethernet link.

CC100 Master Bridge User’s Guide

Installing the CC100 with an amplifier

TV Signal Amplifiers may cause interference when used in conjunction with this product. This interference may occur with particular types of TV Signal Amplifiers when they are connected to the coaxial cable and are placed in between the Master (CC100) and any of the Slaves (CC101). In order to avoid potential interference, please make sure that the Master is installed “downstream” of the TV Signal Amplifier such that the Amplifier is not on the cable that runs in between the master and the slave units. The below figure shows the recommended setup to install CC100 with an amplifier:

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 use to configure the bridge. The factory default IP address of CC100 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, CC100. That is, your PC's IP address should be "192.168.1.xxx". For instance, you may connect your PC with the bridge directly by Ethernet cable between your PC's Ethernet adapter and bridge's port LAN1. You can also configure 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 as seen in the following picture.
The bridge will prompt you for password authorization. The factory default Username is ‘admin’, and default Password is ‘admin’. Please change it to a more secured password after you login successfully. Here shows the
main configuration menus on the browser,

System Setup (TCP/IP Properties)
CC100 Master Bridge User’s Guide
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. Moving your mouse on the item in the left window will pop out the corresponding
window. Clicking on the ‘Apply’ button (or ‘OK’ button in some screens) will submit your new settings into the
bridge and will take effect immediately.
System Assets (Information)
Clicking on the bottom-right ‘Info’ icon will pop out the following window,
EP (User) Management
Refer to 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 residing at CC100 is regarded as the Master (Local) device, and is used to manage other connected Slave EPs. The HCNA MAC exists only in HCNA (coax) domain, and is unaware for any EP end-user. System management use system IP addresses and Ethernet MAC addresses to access the CC100.
Each CC100 device should be stamped with both Ethernet MAC and HCNA MAC for identification.

Firmware/Driver Files
CC100 flash ROM is capable of storing the following files:
1. System boot code (OS boot loader)
2. System firmware (OS)
3. Local (Master) HCNA driver for chipset 3110 (resides at CC100)
4. EP (Slave) HCNA drivers for chipset 3010 (Please Note: NetComm do not supply an EP based on chipset 3010)
5. Smart EP (Slave) HCNA drivers for chipset 3110 (resides at Smart EP like CC101).
6. HCNA physical connection diagnosis utility
To upgrade any one of them, you need to follow the 2-stage procedure. First, ‘Upload’ the file onto the CC100 Upload Area, then do the real upgrade by ‘Activate’ it on demand -- the file will move into Working Area for running. Refer to the following section entitled “Example to Upload then Activate System Firmware and HCNA Driver” for more details.
EP
Open the ‘EP Management’ window, and click on the ‘Refresh’ button to scan all connected EPs. For example,
8
CC100 Master Bridge User’s Guide
Each row represents one EP. Here we have one Master (Local) HCNA device (on the top) and 4 extra Slave EP devices shown in the window. The first two are Smart EPs based on 3110, and the last two EPs that are powered off.
Smart EP
Denotes an EP whose Ethernet properties are configurable. Based on 3110 chipset, with built-in simple management function, its Ethernet settings can be configured by the CC100. Refer to “Master/EP Ethernet Properties”. In contrast
to the 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 : clicking on the ‘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
Link : a light for HCNA device current connection status.
Green: EP is active -- on-line. For Master device, it is always green. Grey: EP is not active -- off-line, either the user has powered it off or there is a cabling issue. (‘NA’ means
value Not Applicable/Available since setting value in this field is stored inside EP and the EP is
currently unreachable.)
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.
Config : configure Master’s/Smart EP’s 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 CC100.
Test : run the built-in diagnostic functions. Refer to “Diagnosis” for more details.
Clicking on each device’s ‘HPNA’ button can open the window to configure its HomePNA properties. Click on the
‘Ether’ button to configure its Ethernet properties—only Master and Smart EP support this Ether-configure function.
9
CC100Master Bridge User’s Guide
Clicking on the ‘Test’ button can diagnose the noise of HCNA itself and the physical connection quality between
Master and EP.
Properties Profile – Stored the Settings
CC100 will query and store the setting values of individual on-line EP’s into its nonvolatile memory automatically,
including HomePNA properties and Ethernet properties as a profile. It shows the monitored EP status: green light in
the ‘Link’ field means the EP is ‘ON’, grey light indicates it is off. While the EP is off-line and doesn’t need any
service, you may delete its obsolete profile manually to save CC100 storage space. CC100 can 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 EP’s is isolated intentionally. EP’s cannot talk to each other. It is the default security mode and unchangeable.
Privacy Mode
Privacy prevents unauthorized EP’s from accessing the HCNA network controlled by the Master HCNA device. While ‘Privacy Mode’ is ‘ON’, the Master will serve the EP only if its ‘Privacy Key’ matches with the Master’s. The ‘Privacy Key’ acts like the EP’s password granted by the 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 the CC100. Regardless of the ‘Privacy Key’ values
are set in the Master device.
On: CC100 will communicate with EPs if they own the same ‘Privacy Key’ while the ‘Privacy Mode’ is turned
‘ON’. There should be only one key in one coax networking system. EP’s with unmatched keys will not be
allowed to transmit any packets through the CC100 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 the CC100 (the setting values), you need to upgrade the Master and all allowable EPs’ HCNA driver with the new values (replace the running working values with the new settings) before any
connected EP’s can access the network controlled by the CC100.
Privacy Mode Usage Example
For example, first activate the ‘Privacy Mode’ by apply the ‘ON’ setting and change the ‘Privacy Key’ to ‘0x1234’.
The CC100 will request to upgrade the Master’s HCNA driver, and all allowable EP’s HCNA driver.
10
CC100 Master Bridge User’s Guide
Clicking the ‘Apply’ button will change the Master row background color to yellow (refer to ‘Profile Status’). Pick
all allowable EP’s for automatic driver upgrade. You may change the selection and proceed to upgrade, in the below figure only one EP is selected for the performed upgrade.
Click ‘Upgrade’ button,
11
CC100Master Bridge User’s Guide
After the upgrade has been completed, press Refresh to update the EP management page. Here we have one banned EP shown with the red background after upgrade.
Then power on the 2 extra off-line EPs. They will also be banned since their ‘Privacy Mode/Key’ (as default ‘OFF’/‘0x0’) doesn’t match with the Master’s (now key is ‘ON’/‘0x1234’ ).
EP’s are classified by the shown background color, green for allowed EP, red for banned EP.
Privacy Mode/Key Summary
EP’s can’t communicate with each other regardless of the settings of ‘Privacy Mode’ and ‘Privacy Key’. EP’s can access the coax network controlled by the CC100 only if EP has the right ‘Privacy Mode’ and ‘Privacy Key’.
Please refer to the following diagram for more details,

Upgrading the EP’s HCNA driver is the only way to change the EP’s ‘Privacy Mode’ and ‘Privacy Key’—by
applying the setting values of the Master HCNA device to selected EP’s.
Profile Status for Master and EP
Each listed device status can also be classified by the shown background color:
Green: For Master, the ‘Privacy Mode/Keyworking values in device is consistent with the profile stored setting
values in the CC100. For EP, it can access the network.
Yellow: For Master, it has inconsistent ‘Privacy Mode/Key’ settings. You may upgrade the Master’s driver to
synchronize its working values. (to replace the running working values with the setting ones).
Red: For banned EP’s, either ‘Privacy Mode/Key’ in the EP is not matched or the ‘Host Limit’ value in the EP
is 0. The CC100 will refuse to serve this EP.
EP HomePNA Properties (HPNA)
EP’s (either Smart or not) conform to the following HomePNA settings stored in the CC100 Master,
Note
Footnote to the EP (user).
Host Limit
Specify the maximum allowable host (as PC) numbers attached on this EP:
0: Service is disabled, no host is allowed 1~11: The factory default value is 11 for unrestricted.

CC100Master Bridge User’s Guide
Master/Smart EP Ethernet Properties (Ether)
The Ethernet properties of the Master device and Smart EP device are configurable. For those EPs equipped with the fixed Ethernet properties are remarked as un-configurable EPs – usually based on 3010 chipset.
Port Setup
To configure built-in Ethernet switch port properties, including speed, flow control, and maximum In/Out rate (bandwidth control) of ports LAN1/LAN2/HCNA.
Service and Speed/Duplex
Change ‘Service’ to enable or disable the port. This setting opens or closes the related Ethernet switch port in EP’s. The default setting in the field ‘Speed/Duplex’ is ‘Auto’ which states for auto-negotiation.
Bandwidth Control
Consider port HCNA as the network backbone and refer to the following diagram to set up bandwidth control parameters in the EP’s Ethernet switch (Regarded as Hardware bandwidth control, works for both upstream and downstream). The maximum allowed rate should be the setting value multiplied by 64Kbps. If maximum rate exceeds 100Mbps (as the value 1563), there will be no bandwidth control at all.
