    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’.

  • Page 6: Connecting The Cables

    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,...

    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.

  • Page 8: Installing The Cc100 With An Amplifier

    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.

  • Page 9: Configuration

    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.

  • Page 10: System Setup (Tcp/Ip Properties)

    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.
