This chapter describes the installation procedure for your bridge.
Packing List
Your package should come with the equipment listed below,
♦One Main Unit (HCNA to Ethernet Master Bridge) CC100
♦One DC 5V Power Adaptor
♦One F-Type Coaxial Cable (RG-59U)
♦One RJ-45 Ethernet Cable (CAT-5)
Rear Panel
Figure 1: Rear Panel of CC100
Connectors
1. DC5V: Connect to the power adapter plug.
2. LAN1/LAN2: Two fast Ethernet ports to connect Switch/FTTx/xDSL Modem for Internet access.
3. Reset: While CC100 is turned on, press and release this button to reboot CC100. Pressing it for 5 seconds will
restore all settings back to factory default. For example, the IP address will restore to default ‘192.168.1.1’.
4. HCNA: Attach to existing coaxial cable and use it as the networking backbone in one or more MDUs. CC100 is
the HCNA Master device and controls the other Slave HCNA devices (refer to Endpoint or EP, as CC101) on
the same coax network. Refer “Connecting the Cables” for more details.
5. TV/Antenna: Connect to TV Set. Or connect to VHF/UHF antenna or CATV to bypass TV signal to HCNA
port.
LED Indicators
1. Power: Lights up when power on.
2. LAN1: Lights up when LAN1 port is active and flashing when there is any data traffic.
3. LAN2: Lights up when LAN2 port is active and flashing when there is any data traffic.
4. Link/Act: Lights up when HCNA port is active and flashing when there is any data traffic.
5. SyncMode: Lights up when HCNA port is working in HCNA Synchronous MAC mode.
6. Diagnosis: Lights up when CC100 is diagnosing EP.
NOTE: HCNA always adopts the Synchronous MAC protocol layer in coax system in order to coordinate all the
transmissions and eliminate any collisions. The SyncMode LED should always be on as long as power is on.

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

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,

CC100 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. 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.
