Configuring HomePNA 3.1

Objective

To configure Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) on the Cable port.

This task lets you configure HPNA interface on the Cable port of the gateway.

Steps

1.Navigate to Settings > LAN > Wired Interfaces. The HPNA 3.1 (Coax) configuration page appears.

2.Enable or disable HPNA by selecting or clearing the HomePNA Networking check box.

3.Select Coax or DSL from the Select Output Jack drop-down list. This is the type of gateway port that you use to connect to the set top box. If you select Coax it implies that you are using CABLE port. If you select DSL it implies that you are using DSL port.

NOTE TO REVIEWER: Unsure whether the user can actually use the DSL port to configure the HPNA interface. The device has only one DSL port which is used to connect Internet. My understanding is that the device must have an addition RJ-11 port to configure HPNA interface. Need inputs for the same.

4.Select 493 or 340 from the Noise Margin drop-down list. This is the signal to noise ratio. Signal quality is inversely proportional to noise margin.

5.Select 1063, 859, or 646 from the Per drop-down list.

NOTE TO REVIEWER: Unable to determine the purpose of this field. Need inputs for this field.

6.Enter the duration in seconds in the Collection Interval text box. This is the number of seconds during which the counters for data are collected.

7.Click Save. This saves the HPNA configuration changes.
