CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes the configuration procedure for your switch.
Switch Operating Mode
The switch system could be in one of the two operating modes:
Smart
mode and
Static
mode. Smart mode
works as a standard Ethernet switch, the 14 PNA ports will learn MAC address automatically. The other--Static
mode can only accept connection from the predefined user account. Each PNA port will audit the incoming
packet based on the built-in static MAC entry in Static mode. The factory default is Smart mode, you may
change the operating mode by the configuration utility.
About Configuration Utility
The configuration utility is a graphical user interface tool runs on MS-Windows platform that helps you to
configure and manage your HomePNA switch environment. There are two types of utility:

that can
manage multiply switch systems. It helps to build up the connection topology of your HomePNA switch
environment and to query or update the setting inside your switch system. The tool can also save the current
connection topology or back up the switch setting information inside your HomePNA switch system as a file on
your PC.

Full Function Utility
Its purpose is to control the rights for the different managing user to configure a switch system within a
predefined management domain.
Access Management Domain
A management domain created by the domain supervisor (or say domain super user, domain administrator) may
contain one or many switch system. The supervisor is the master manager within each domain and defines the
