DYNAMIX HP-51M Coax MDU Master Bridge User’s Guide HCNA driver with the new values (replace the running working values with the new setting ones) before any connected EP can access the network controlled by HP-51M. Privacy Mode Usage Example For example, first activate the ‘Privacy Mode’ by apply the ‘ON’ setting and change the ‘Privacy Key’ to ‘0x1234’. HP-51M will request to upgrade the Master’s HCNA driver, and all allowable EP’s HCNA driver.
DYNAMIX HP-51M Coax MDU Master Bridge User’s Guide Here we have one banned EP shown in red background after upgrade, Then power on the 2 extra off-line EPs, they will also be banned since their ‘Privacy Mode/Key’ (as default ‘OFF’/‘0x0’) doesn’t match with the Master’s (now key is ‘ON’/‘0x1234’ ).
DYNAMIX HP-51M Coax MDU Master Bridge User’s Guide EPs are classified by the shown background color, green for allowed EP, red for banned EP. Privacy Mode/Key Summary EP can’t communicate with each other regardless of the settings of ‘Privacy Mode’ and ‘Privacy Key’. EP could access the coax network controlled by HP-51M only if EP has the right ‘Privacy Mode’ and ‘Privacy Key’.
DYNAMIX HP-51M Coax MDU Master Bridge User’s Guide Yellow: For Master, it has inconsistent ‘Privacy Mode/Key’ settings. You may upgrade the Master’s driver to synchronize its working values. (to replace the running working values with the setting ones). Red: For banned EP, either ‘Privacy Mode/Key’ in EP is not matched or the ‘Host Limit’ value in EP is 0. HP51M will refuse to serve this EP.
DYNAMIX HP-51M Coax MDU Master Bridge User’s Guide Service and Speed/Duplex Change ‘Service’ to enable or disable the port. This setting open or close the related Ethernet switch port in EP. Default setting in field ‘Speed/Duplex’ is ‘Auto’ states for auto-negotiation.
