HomePNA Switch Installation and Setup Manual
20
Q: If I turn off my HomePNA Switch, will the settings be saved?
A: YES, as long as you used the “S” save command in the ICD
command interface, all manual changes will be saved in the
event that you turn off, or lose power to your switch.
Q: Can I use one port to support multiple users?
A: Yes, the HomePNA standard supports up to 25 subscribers
per port, for shared 1Mbps access on that port, however VLAN
functionality is based per port on the switch itself. If multiple
users are connected to the same port, then they will be able to
communicate with each other regardless of the VLAN setting on
the switch.
Q: I am using my HomePNA Switch for my office network; I
cannot see the file-sharing computer. Is there something wrong
with my switch?
A: Not at all, just set the VLAN function to OFF and all ports will
be able to communicate with one another.
Q: Is the 1Mb of speed per port, or for the whole backplane?
A: The ports are capable of 1Mb full duplex max throughput per
port; the backplane can handle vast amounts of traffic.
Q: Is there a way to go back to the default passwords?
A: If you have lost or forgotten your passwords, there is a way
to set them back to the defaults, you must contact your vendor
directly for this procedure.
Q: Is the switch firmware upgradeable?
A: Yes, contact your vendor for updates.
Q: Are there serviceable parts inside?
A: No, you should not open the case at anytime, due to risk of
shock and void of warranty.
