CN-1108 Setup and Installation Manual
16
Q: If I turn off my CN-1108, 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 HPNA 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 CN-1108 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 back plane can handle vast amounts of traffic.
Q: Is the switch firmware upgradeable?
A: Yes, at minimum cost. Please 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.
Q: Should the FDX/COL light stay on all the time on my Ethernet ports?
A: Yes, if you have full duplex Ethernet running, the light will be always
on. Collisions are only present when the light flashes.
