INSTALLATION
This chapter describes the installation procedure for your switch.
Packing List
Your package should come with the equipment listed below. If any item is missed or damaged, notify your dealer
immediately.
♦One HomePNA Switch DYNAMIX DH - 114 (or DYNAMIX DH - 114 M).
♦One External AC Power Cord.
♦One RS-232 Console Cable (DB9-MiniDin8).
♦One Cascaded Console Cable (MiniDin8-MiniDin8).
♦One User’s Guide.
Front Panel
See the following Figure 1.
Figure 1 Front panel of DYNAMIX DH - 114/DYNAMIX DH - 114 M
Connectors
1. 1 to 14: Fourteen HomePNA ports with dual-row RJ-45 connector labeled ‘1’ to ‘14’. Each HomePNA port has
one ‘Line’ connector (upper row) and one ‘Terminal’ connector (bottom row).
2. E1, E2: These two Ethernet ports are used to cascade with other DYNAMIX DH - 114 (DYNAMIX DH - 114 M)
or standard Ethernet Switch/Hub. See the following section “Connecting the Cables” in this Chapter.
3. Console IN/OUT: The console IN port may connect to the serial COM port of PC for local configuration. You
can cascade the console IN/OUT port through a lot of switches for configuration. See “Connecting the
Cables”.
LED Indicators
1. PWR: Lighting up when power on.
2. Link/Act (1 to 14): Each led represents the responding HomePNA port. Flashing when there is any data traffic.
3. Link/Act (E1, E2): Lighting up when the Ethernet link is active, and flashing when there is any data traffic.
4. ID: 7-segment led shows the switch ID.
Connecting the Cables
The HomePNA ‘Terminal’ port (1 to 14) requires standard twisted phone wiring for user attached to the same
phone line via the PNA adapter. And the HomePNA ‘Line’ port (1 to 14) connects to the PSTN/PABX for your
original phones. The Ethernet port (E1 and E2) is unshielded twisted pair (UTP) 100Base-T cabling. All 16 ports
work as a standard 16 ports Ethernet switch in the LAN (Local Area Network) environment. See Figure 2 for the
cabling of single HomePNA switch DYNAMIX DH - 114 or DYNAMIX DH - 114 M.
You can stack more DYNAMIX DH - 114s to accommodate more HomePNA users by cascading DYNAMIX DH -
114's Ethernet port and Console port together. For example, connect two or three DYNAMIX DH - 114 with
Ethernet cable from one switch's E1 port (MDI-X connector) to the next switch's E2 port (MDI-II connector). And

cascade their console port together for the configuration utility to configure all cascaded switches via one
console port. See Figure 3 for the cabling of cascaded HomePNA switches for more details.
Figure 2 Cabling of more DYNAMIX DH - 114/DYNAMIX DH - 114 M
The other way to stack more DYNAMIX DH - 114s is applying Ethernet Switch that supports Port-Based VLAN.
This connection can achieve maximum available bandwidth utilization for all users (max 10Mbps per user) if the
Ethernet Switch supports Giga bit rate up-link trunk. Note that E1 port is up-link port of DYNAMIX DH -
114/DYNAMIX DH - 114 M. Also cascade their console port together for the configuration utility to configure all
cascaded switches via one console port. See the following Figure 4,
Figure 4 Cabling of more DYNAMIX DH - 114/DYNAMIX DH - 114 M by Ethernet Switch
Note that in the stacking switch architecture as in Figure 3/Figure 4, the PNA switch ‘#1’ (ID is 1) must be
DYNAMIX DH - 114 M if you need remote configuration capability. And other switches except ‘#1’ must be

DYNAMIX DH - 114 (i.e. #2, #3… are all DYNAMIX DH - 114). Else you can stack all DYNAMIX DH - 114
switches as in Figure 3/Figure 4 without DYNAMIX DH - 114 M if you just need local configuration. The remote
configuration function can only work with DYNAMIX DH - 114 M. DYNAMIX DH - 114 M is made of one
DYNAMIX DH - 114 switch and one Remote Management Unit (RMU) inside.
NOTE: The 7-segment led shows the switch ID from ‘1’,‘2’,… to ‘9’ in a cascaded switch system. The dot ()
symbol shows on the 7-segment's right-bottom corner indicates that the switch ID will plus 10. The 10th cascaded
switch ID will show ‘0.’, and 11th switch will be ‘1.’. The 19th switch ID is ‘9.’. If you cascaded more than 19
switches, the switch ID for the 19th ,20th ,… will always be ‘9.’.
Verification
After you have finished the installation, you should use the configuration utility to access the switch through
Ethernet link (remotely by DYNAMIX DH - 114 M) or Console link (locally by DYNAMIX DH - 114 or DYNAMIX
DH - 114 M) to verify the installation is completed. (See next Chapter for details).
NOTE: The factory default Port-Based VLAN setting doesn't allow the configuration utility to access the switch
DYNAMIX DH - 114 M remotely through HomePNA port (1 to 14). Because the DYNAMIX DH - 114 M's internal
RMU is connected to E2 port, and only E1 and E2 are within the same VLAN group. You should connect to E1
port of DYNAMIX DH - 114 M with Straight-Through Ethernet UTP cable (not Crossover cable) to your PC
and then access RMU through E1 port by default. You may modify the default VLAN setting to allow some
HomePNA ports to access the DYNAMIX DH - 114 M remotely. (See VLAN in Chapter 5 for more details).

CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes the configuration procedure for your switch.
Switch Operating Mode
The switch system could be in one of the two operating modes: Smart mode and Static mode. Smart mode
works as a standard Ethernet switch, the 14 PNA ports will learn MAC address automatically. The other--Static
mode can only accept connection from the predefined user account. Each PNA port will audit the incoming
packet based on the built-in static MAC entry in Static mode. The factory default is Smart mode, you may
change the operating mode by the configuration utility.
About Configuration Utility
The configuration utility is a graphical user interface tool runs on MS-Windows platform that helps you to
configure and manage your HomePNA switch environment. There are two types of utility: easy version utility
with simplified operation procedure to configure one switch system; the other is full function utility that can
manage multiply switch systems. It helps to build up the connection topology of your HomePNA switch
environment and to query or update the setting inside your switch system. The tool can also save the current
connection topology or back up the switch setting information inside your HomePNA switch system as a file on
your PC.
Easy Version Utility
Execute the utility, choose the connecting path: Local by Com port(DYNAMIX DH - 114/DYNAMIX DH - 114 M)
or Remote by IP address(DYNAMIX DH - 114 M only). Then login the switch directly with the factory default
Username/Password --‘user1/root’.
You can now configure the connected switch system. You may refer the following "Full Function Utility" section
for more detail or refer the later section entitled "Use Configuration Utility" directly from now on.
Full Function Utility
Its purpose is to control the rights for the different managing user to configure a switch system within a
predefined management domain.
Access Management Domain
A management domain created by the domain supervisor (or say domain super user, domain administrator) may
contain one or many switch system. The supervisor is the master manager within each domain and defines the

10
tree-layer switch connection topology. The supervisor may grant rights to other managing users to control
predefined switch system; these managing users help the supervisor to manage some switches with limited
access rights. See the following example for more details.
Create Domain
Execute the configuration utility will require you to login to a domain first. You need to create a new domain when
you execute the utility program at the first time. For example, start the utility then click the ‘New’ button to create
the domain ‘TEST’ with supervisor username ‘super’ and password ‘test’ as in the following figures.
.
Click button ‘SAVE’ in the above figure will store the domain ‘TEST’ configuration on your PC, then type in
username ‘super’ and password ‘test’ to login the domain as supervisor. The following figure shows the main
menu after you login the domain.
Add Switch as Domain Member
You need to assign the switch (one switch or cascaded system) as a domain member before you can really
connect and manage the switch within the domain. The utility will try to access and login the switch when it is
being assigned to the domain at the first time. There are two ways to connect and access the switch system,
local configuration and remote configuration. The remote configuration is only applied to the switch system
with DYNAMIX DH - 114 M as the ‘#1’ switch. (See Figure 2 and Figure 3 in Chapter 2).

11
Access Switch via Local Configuration
To configure your DYNAMIX DH - 114/DYNAMIX DH - 114 M switch system by local console, do the following:
1. Connect ‘Console Cable’ to front panel Console ‘IN’ connector and then connect the cable to PC's serial port,
as COM1.
2. Execute the configuration utility on PC, choose ‘Console’ and the correct COM port in the field ‘Connection
Type’.
3. Login the domain as the supervisor. For example, login the domain ‘TEST’ with username ‘super’ and
password ‘test’ as the following figure,
4. You can now access the main menu of the configuration utility after login.
NOTE: Always connects to ‘#1’ switch for local configuration in a cascaded switch system. The ‘#1’ switch is the
configuration master for all other switches in a switch system.
Add Switch
Click ‘Member’ and choose ‘Add’ function in the main menu of configuration utility,
You may click ‘Directory’ to extend one connection level as general tree-layer file structure, or click
‘Management Unit’ to add one switch or cascaded switch system attached on current level as the file (node, leaf)
to be managed. In the ‘TEST’ domain example, we try to add a directory ‘Location-A’ and a switch DYNAMIX
DH - 114 M ‘SW-1’ as a member. Typically the directory name joins the member name defines the name string
which gives the identification of the switch. And this ID should be unique inside current domain. Add one switch
will pop up the switch property window and you need to fill in the blank fields as the next figure.

12
The directory naming ‘Location-A’ and switch naming ‘SW-1’ in current domain ‘TEST’ defines your connecting
topology; you can define different layering structure according to the real wiring architecture. The username and
password in the above window are used to login the ‘SW-1’ switch system.
NOTE: The IP information field in the above figure will be enabled when you add a switch member by remote
configuration (i.e. login with connection type ‘Internet’). You may denote the IP address of your switch system.
Or if the utility is allowed to pass through the firewall and access the switch system behind the firewall; you need
the IP address of the firewall, and maybe you need to specify the different port number for ‘Telnet/FTP’ to pass
the firewall.
NOTE: The factory default Username/Password for DYNAMIX DH - 114 M/DYNAMIX DH - 114 is ‘user1/root’.
You may change them in ‘Member/Property’ window of configuration utility after you login successfully as the
domain supervisor.
Click button ‘Next’ in the above property window will show the next security property window that control the
access rights for all managing users (There is only one user--supervisor in our example now).
Click button ‘Finish’, then utility will try to connect ‘SW-1’ and to retrieve current setting inside the switch. These
retrieved setting will be updated according to your previous configuration. The detail property window will pop out
automatically and request you to confirm the configuration. Including System IP environment, SNMP and
Security access rights control. Here's the Property/System and Property/SNMP windows in our example,
Name: the complete path to locate ‘SW-1’ in current domain

13
IP: the current IP address of your managed member--DYNAMIX DH - 114 M (the IP of RMU). It's a fixed IP if
the DHCP Client is disabled or the IP obtained from DHCP Server when DHCP Client is enabled.
Net Mask: the subnet mask of IP LAN environment
Default Gateway: the Router/Gateway IP address for the WAN/LAN connectivity of the managed member
User Name: username to login the member
Password: password to login the member
Confirm Password: retype and confirm the login password.
Telnet/FTP/SNMP/SNMP Trap Port Number: the assigned port for the utility to access the managed
member. The default port number Telnet:8861, FTP:21, SNMP:161, SNMP Trap:162. The utility uses ‘Telnet’
for remote configuration and ‘FTP’ for remote firmware upgrading. The SNMP monitoring utility queries the
managed agent through ‘SNMP’ port and intercepts any trap on ‘SNMP Trap’ port.
DHCP Client: Enable the RMU to obtain the ‘IP’, ‘Net Mask’ and ‘Default Gateway’ fields from DHCP Server.
The previous Property/SNMP window let you activate ‘SNMP trap’ operation, you can setup at most five hosts
for receiving trap. Field ‘IP’ sets to ‘0.0.0.0’ will be disabled. Please refer the section entitled ‘SNMP’ in Chapter 5
for more SNMP details.
Click button ‘CHANGE’ to accept the configuration and store the setting into ‘SW-1’.
The above figure shows the DYNAMIX DH - 114 Mswitch ‘SW-1’ has been assigned to domain ‘TEST’
successfully.
NOTE: The detail property window is different for DYNAMIX DH - 114.
Access Switch via Remote Configuration
Only DYNAMIX DH - 114 M (contains RMU) supports the capability of remote configuration. The configuration
utility communicates with your remote switch system by ‘Telnet’ protocol at port number ‘8861’. Make sure your
PC supports ‘TCP/IP’ before you start the remote configuration.
1. Execute the configuration utility on PC, choose ‘Internet’ in the field ‘Connection Type’. Login the correct
domain, as ‘TEST’ for example. The ‘Connection Type’ in the bottom of next figure denotes ‘Internet’ instead
of ‘COM1’ for remote configuration. Note that we just login and browse the connection topology within the
domain, we don't make any connection to the switch ‘SW-1’ yet.
2. The factory default IP address is ‘192.168.0.1’ and default subnet mask is ‘255.255.255.0’ for the RMU if
there is no DHCP Server. To access the switch with default IP, your PC should be within the same IP network
as the switch DYNAMIX DH - 114 M. That is, your PC's IP address should be as "192.168.0.xxx". For
instance, you may connect one PC with the switch directly by one Ethernet cable between your PC's Ethernet
adapter and switch's E1 port. And configures your PC's TCP/IP setting to fixed IP as "192.168.0.xxx", subnet
mask as "255.255.255.0", disable DHCP option. Reboot your PC to access the switch via the configuration
utility within the same "192.168.0.xxx" network.
3. Double click on ‘SW-1’ icon will try to login and connect the switch in our example.

14
4. You can then modify the RMU's default IP address according to your own IP environment in
‘Member/Property’ window of configuration utility. Or the RMU can obtain IP address automatically by its
DHCP Client if there exists any DHCP Server.
NOTE: The RMU of DYNAMIX DH - 114 M will reboot after the IP property has been modified. And current
connection with old IP property will be terminated. You need to establish a new remote connection with the new
IP to access the switch DYNAMIX DH - 114 M.
NOTE: If the current connection of remote configuration is terminated abnormally, the system will wait about 3 to
5 minutes to recover. Then you can establish the new connection again.
Use Configuration Utility (Easy or Full-Function)
The utility is similar to ‘File Manager’ in ‘Microsoft Windows® System’. The main window contains the left sub-
window for the items to be configured, and the right sub-window display the contents for the selected item.
Double click your mouse on the item in the left window will pop out the corresponding item-window in the right
side.
Getting Started
1. Assume you have started the utility (local or remote), and have the rights to configure the switch in the
selected domain (either you login as supervisor or have the access rights assigned by supervisor), login the
domain successfully as in the following figure.
2. The above figure shows the domain contains only one switch system ‘SW-1’. Double click on the ‘SW-1’ icon
will ‘Connect’ to ‘SW-1’ and ‘Load’ the internal configuration from ‘SW-1’. It may takes a few seconds for the
utility to retrieve the current setting of the connected switch system.
3. The next figure shows the switch system ‘SW-1’ contains only one switch (‘Switch1’). If the system is
cascaded with many switches, you should see ‘Switch2’, ‘Switch3’, … in the left window. To expand a level
of the switch hierarchy, click on the plus (+) symbol next to that level. The following figure shows the
expanded switch level.

This section describes and explains how to set the individual item.
♦Parameter
MAC age: range 1~256 sec, setup the learned MAC address lifetime in E1 and E2 port. The learned MAC
entry will be flushed while the port doesn’t receive any Ethernet packet again with the same MAC source
within the period.
Fast Ethernet port (E1 and E2) in HomePNA switch has featured the MAC address auto-learning capability
as standard Ethernet switch. And other HomePNA port (1 to 14) works the same way in Smart mode. In
Static mode, the switch will audit the incoming packet and decide to accept it or not based on the presetting
MAC address table in each port. The HomePNA port will reject any packet with unauthorized source MAC
address in Static mode.
NOTE: The following operation buttons work the same way for all windows in the configuration utility.
Read -- read current setting from the switch.

16
Submit and Save -- Submit: send the new setting into the switch register, the switch behavior will change
immediately.
Save: save the internal register setting into switch ‘EEPROM’. After power off then power on again, the switch
will keep on this saved setting always.
Default -- reset to factory default value, but not save into the switch until you issue ‘Submit and Save’.
Reset-- reset the related part of switch. Press the ‘Reset’ button in ‘Parameter’ window will reset the whole
switch, press the ‘Reset’ button in each port window will reset the corresponding port only.
Delete—this button appears in ‘UserInfo’ window of Static mode, it deletes the selected user information in
the window, then press ‘Submit and Save’ to delete the user information in the switch.
Delete All—this button appears in ‘UserInfo’ window of Static mode, it deletes all user information in the
window, then press ‘Submit and Save’ to delete the user information in the switch.
♦VLAN
Refer to Figure 3 in Chapter 2, the cascaded Ethernet link acts as a traffic trunk to aggregate all HomePNA
port traffic. The straightforward VLAN configuration should let each HomePNA port (1 to 14) can
communicate with the trunk for LAN/WAN connectivity, but can't communicate with each other directly. Only
the ports within the same VLAN group can access each other directly.
See the default Port-Based VLAN setting in the following figure as an example:
The above window indicates that each HomePNA port (1 to 14) is grouped with PortE1, i.e. within the same
VLAN. PortE1 and PortE2 are grouped in one VLAN. In this configuration, PortE1 acts as up-link port;
PortE2 gathers the traffic from other cascaded switch up-link port. The following figure shows the data flow of
default Port-Based VLAN groups in one switch.

17
You can refer this figure as the role of ‘PNA Switch #2’ or ‘PNA Switch #3’ in Chapter 2 Figure 3. Please refer
VLAN in Chapter 5 for more details.
♦Environment
To monitor operation temperature, power voltage and fan tachometer condition,
♦Port1~Port14
Use ‘Setting’ window to adjust some communication factors for each HomePNA port. These factors including
transmit priority, line speed, etc. Next figure shows the default ‘Setting’ window:
In the field application, every phone line wiring condition is different. The factory default setting should have
good performance in all environments. You may try to pursue the best transmission performance, see
‘Chapter 5 Advanced Features’ to adjust HomePNA port's attribute to improve the connection quality.
In Smart mode, user can access the HomePNA switch via PNA adapter, it's ‘plug-and-play’. In Static mode,
you have to open an account for the user to access the switch in ‘UserInfo’ window. The PNA adapter's MAC
address is the key to pass the switch MAC address filter in Static mode. For example, registered user with
TEL ‘123456’ can access Port1 in the following setting.

18
There are as many as 4 users can attach on the same HomePNA port via one pair phone line in Static mode,
as shows in the above figure.
NOTE: The field ‘TEL’ in ‘UserInfo’ window could be any alphanumeric text up to 12 characters and is used
to identify the registered user. For example, you may register user's name in this field.
♦PortE1,PortE2
The state of PortE1 and PortE2 will always show ‘ENABLE’ as in the following figure.

member connection status, access rights for different managing user, login username/password for each user
within current domain.
See the following items in Management menu:
♦User
Setup other managing user account, including Add/Delete/Property sub-function if you login the domain as
supervisor. Or you can only change the password if you login the domain as normal managing user. For
example, the supervisor may add one managing user ‘A’ with password ‘a’ as the following figure.
♦Connect
Connect and login the selected switch system within current domain.
♦Load
Load all setting form the connected switch system into the configuration utility.
♦Submit and Save
Store all setting in the configuration into the connected switch system and save into ‘EEPROM’. The switch
will keep on current setting whenever it's powered up.
♦Reboot
Reboot the RMU inside the connected switch system or reboot the switch itself only.
♦Disconnect
Disconnect and logout the selected switch system within current domain.
♦Save
Save current domain setting and connection topology in the configuration utility to a file on your PC. The
saved domain file has the filename extension ‘.smp’. You may backup the saved file for current domain
setting by the configuration utility ‘BackuUp’ function.
♦Exit
Exit configuration utility program.

20
Member
This function is open to domain supervisor. Only supervisor can configure member property in current domain.
Member means the ‘Directory’ or the ‘Management Unit’ in configuration utility.
♦Add
Add one new member into current domain.
♦Delete
Remove the selected member from current domain.
♦Rename
Renaming the selected member.
♦Property
Configure the properties of selected member. There are three different property windows--System, SNMP
