About HPNA Testing
The capabilities of the SmartClass Triple Play Services’s optional HPNA testing features include the
following:
Operational mode — This mode monitors the active network during its normal operation and periodically
updates statistics.
Network test mode — This transient mode performs a disruptive network test that transfers a configurable
number of packets across each unidirectional logical link in the network and gathers statistics.
These features are available if the HPNA software option is enabled.
Connecting to the line
After specifying the test settings, you can connect to the line.
To connect to the line
1 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet jack on the right side of the unit.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port of the CPE that is on the HPNA
network (such as a set-top-box or residential gateway).

To monitor the HPNA network
