HPNA results
The following section describes the results available in HPNA mode.
Table 35 describes the HPNA results.
Connection duration The amount of time the instrument has been connected to the Wi-Fi network.
IP address The IP address assigned to the instrument by the network.
Netmask The instrument’s netmask address. IP devices use a netmask IP address to
determine if IP packets are to be routed to other networks or sub-networks
Gateway The instrument’s gateway address. When an IP device has determined that a
packet is not addressed to it or devices on the same sub-network (subnet), it
sends all such packets to the gateway address for further routing to the correct
address.
DNS Domain Name Services. When using internet addresses such as
www.jdsu.com, the SmartClass Triple Play Services (and all IP devices) must
translate to an IP address (such as 157.234.12.20) in order to route the packets
or data. To do so, it first requests a DNS server to translate an internet address
into an IP address; then the SmartClass Triple Play Services can correctly route
IP pings or other data. The DNS address must be that of a real DNS server,
preferably in the provider network.
MAC Address The MAC address of the LAN.
Connected Devices The number of devices connected to the Wi-Fi network.
