INTRODUCTION
This HCNA (HomePNA3.1 over Coax) to Ethernet
bridge connects any Ethernet device to a high speed
access device or to a LAN for Internet access. This
bridge brings you the newest Ethernet compatible
technology that uses the coaxial cable as the network's
physical wiring thereby eliminating the need to install
new wiring. It is designed to operate on the coaxial
TV cable installed in homes.
This bridge allows you to connect PCs and Ethernet
enabled devices, such as Switch, HUB and printers, to
a Home Networking LAN by simply plugging into the
existing coaxial F-Type connector.
Features
•Plug & Play
•Using existing coaxial TV cable to build a home
network

•1 port connection compliant with HomePNA 3.1
over Coax (HCNA) standard
•2 Standard 10/100BaseT Fast Ethernet ports for
connecting to Ethernet or cable modem
•MDI/MDIX Auto Crossover Support
•QoS Priority Mapping Support
•Configurable QoS, TagVLAN, Bandwidth Control
•Statistics and Status Information Support

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 coaxial cable to connect the HCNA
port to F-Type connector on the wall. Using
another coaxial cable to connect the other F-type
TV port to TV set.
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 figure above shows how to connect an xDSL
modem to a home coaxial cable network. Follow the
same steps to connect any Ethernet device such as a
HUB or printer, to a coaxial cable network.
Now you should have connected the LAN port,
HCNA port and the DC5V port to the appropriate
devices or lines. LED will be as:
POWER ON
LAN Link/Act ON
HCNA Link/Act ON

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 HCNA Link/Act LED is
off.
Make sure the connection to these two ports is
secure.
The Ethernet or HCNA device to which you are
connected should be powered on and properly
configured.
