3.5 Connecting “MDI-X” Station Port
1. You can connect the “9” port on the IP DSLAM to any device that uses a standard network interface such as a Cable modem,
ADSL modem, Ethernet Switch, workstation or server, or also to a network interconnection device such as a bridge or router
(depending on the port type implemented).
2. Prepare the network devices you wish to connect. Make sure you have installed suitable HPNA Modem before making a
connection to any of the HPNA IP DSLAM (1-8) station ports. You also need to prepare 18 ~ 26 gauge one twist pair phone
Line wiring with RJ-11 plugs at both ends.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-11 port of the Home Access network adapter, and the other end to any available
(1~8) station port on the HPNA. Every port supports 1 Mbps connections. When inserting an RJ-11 plug, be sure the tab on
the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Caution:
Do not plug a RJ-11 phone jack connector into the Ethernet port (RJ-45 port). This may damage the HPNA. Instead,
use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform the FCC standards
.
Notes:
1. Be sure each twisted-pair cable (RJ-45) is not over by 100 meters (328 feet).
2. RJ-11 port use 18 ~ 26 gauge phone wiring, 28 gauge or above is not recommended.
3. We advise using Category 5 cable for Cable Modem or router connections or to attach to any high bandwidth device to
avoid any confusion or inconvenience.
