INTRODUCTION
This HCNA (HomePNA3.0 over Coax) to Ethernet
bridge connects any Ethernet device to a high speed
access network 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 cable installed in building.
This bridge allows you to connect PCs and Ethernet
enabled devices, such as STB and VoIP gateway, to a
LAN by simply plugging into the existing coaxial F-
Type connector.
Features
• Plug & play, as EP (Endpoint) while connects to a
Coax network controlled by MDU Master bridge
• Using existing coaxial cable to build a home
network
• Shares high speed Internet access and streaming
video
• 1 port 128Mbps connection compliant with
HomePNA 3.0 over Coax (HCNA) standard
• 2 standard 10/100BaseT fast Ethernet ports
• 10/100Mbps auto negotiation support
• MDI/MDIX auto crossover support
• QoS priority mapping support
