This chapter describes the features of your HomePNA3.1 over Coax to Ethernet Master (Management) Bridge --
XL-HCW224C. Refer to ―HomePNA3.1 over Coax‖as HCNA from this point. Also refer to ―Master device XL-
HCW224C as XL-HCW224C and refer to ―Slave device XL-HC224C‖ as XL-HCW224C if they are not denoted
completely.
