‘Line’ connector (upper row) and one ‘Terminal’ connector (bottom row).

3.
Console IN: The console IN port may connect to the serial COM port of PC for local configuration by the RS-232
Console Cable. See “Connecting the Cables”.
4.
Console OUT: If you stack more XL-HB14128M in one MDU/MTU (Multiple Dwelling Unit/Multiple Tenant Unit)
system, one XL-HB14128M will be selected to output the
MAP Sync Clock
. All other switches will synchronize
to the same MAP Sync Clock input from Console IN port. It is necessary to connect the selected switch Console
OUT port to all other switches Console IN port in order to coordinate all the transmissions in HomePNA 3.0
Synchronous MAC
protocol. Cascaded Console Cable is used to connect the console IN/OUT port through a lot
of switches in one MDU/MTU system. See “Connecting the Cables”.
NOTE:
HomePNA 3.0 always adopt the
Synchronous MAC
protocol layer in MDU/MTD system to eliminate
Cross-Talk
effect in a bundle of multi telephone wiring. It is crucial to MDU/MTD system.
LED Indicators
1. PWR: Lighting up when power on.
2. Link/Act (1 to 14): Each led represents the responding HomePNA port. Flashing when there is any data traffic.
