The Powerline Hd ethernet Adapter is
designed for quick, easy installation.
10/100M Fast Ethernet Port
Using the included Ethernet cable,
connect the adapter to a network router,
switch or other Ethernet-enabled device.
NOTE: The ethernet port on the adapter
supports 10/100M Auto-MDI/MDIX, so you can
use a straight-through or a crossover ethernet
cable when connecting to another Ethernet-enabled de
AC Power Plug
Plug the device directly into an AC power outlet. do
not connect the Powerline adapter to a power strip,
extension cord or surge protector, as this may prevent
it from working properly or degrade the network
performance.

This front-panel button provides a quick option for
joining an adapter to an established PowerLine network.

1. Press and hold the Quick Setup button until all LEDs are off (this may
take more than 10 seconds). The adapter will reset the network ID
setting and generate a random network Id. NOTE: Always reset the
network ID before pairing the adapter with other PowerLine devices.
2. To join a new unit to the network, press the Quick Setup button on any
adapter currently in the network and — within 3 seconds — press the
Quick Setup button on the new adapter. A blinking Power LED indicates
the pairing is in progress; a lighted Power led means the unit is paired.

The HomePlug AV Utility (for Windows 2000, XP or Vista) enables
users to identify Powerline devices on the Powerline network. It also
measures data rate performance, ensures privacy and performs
diagnostics by setting user-defined, secure PowerLine networks.
To begin installation, insert
the included setup Cd into
your Cd-RoM drive to
display the Autorun program.
Click/select “Install Software
(Utility)” on the menu screen;
the install wizard will begin
the software installation.
When the HomePlug

displays on the desktop, double-click on it to start the utility and access
the various option screens.
The left-hand menu (shown on the screen image below) presents six
sub-menus — Device Information, Network Information, QoS, Network
ID (Security), Upgrade and About — each of which is explained in the
following sections.
Device Information
This screen presents the MAC address, firmware version and the
connected Powerline device.

Network Information
This screen presents a list of all devices on the Powerline network.
devices that are active on the current logical network will show a
transfer rate and receiver rate.
QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) requirements are different for various data
types, such as streaming video or music, voice and raw data. To provide
higher QoS for streaming data, priority levels can be set using tags at
the beginning of data frames. Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) 802.1p
priority tags on Ethernet frames are used to specify eight levels (0 – 7)
of user priority.
The Powerline Hd ethernet Adapter allows four levels (0 – 3) of
Channel Access Priority (CAP). Therefore, the eight levels of VLAN
Ethernet tags must be mapped to the four levels of CAP priority, where
CAP 3 is the highest priority and CAP 0 is the lowest. CAP 3 priority
might be used for voice and network management frames; CAP 2 is
used for streaming video and music; while CAP 1 and CAP 0 are used
for data. Mapping VLAN tags or ToS bits to CAP levels is easily done
using the VLAN Priority Mapping function on the QoS tab window.

Device Selection
From the drop-down list, select the device you want to configure.
List View
The QoS tab includes two list views to provide simple channel access
priority (CAP) classification for individual MAC addresses and IP ports.
There is a collective limit of eight across both lists. NOTE: No delimiters,
colons or dashes are allowed in the MAC address format.
Priority Mapping
The Priority Mapping group contains both VLAN and ToS bit-mapping
capability. When selected, packets matching the VLAN or ToS Bit
priority will be assigned the PowerLine contention priority (Channel
Access Priority, CAP) as set in the corresponding drop-down box. If a
packet has both VLAN and ToS in it, VLAN will override ToS.
Default CAP
The default CAP group allows for default priority mapping of packets
that do not have a VLAN or ToS bit. Settings are available for Unicast
(directed to a host).
• IGMP (default CAP 3): sets the channel access priority for IGMP
frames (the group management frames, not the stream data).
• IGMP Managed Multicast Stream (default CAP 2): sets the default
channel access priority for stream data belonging to a snooped IGMP
multicast group.

• Multicast/Broadcast: sets the default CAP 1 for multicast frames not
in a snooped group and for broadcast frames.
• Unicast (default CAP 1): sets the default channel access priority for
unicast frames not matching any other classification or mapping.
Reset to default
Press “Reset to default” to restore the factory default QoS settings.
Save changes
Press “Save changes” to save and execute the modified QoS settings.
Network ID
This screen is used to set or change the network group Id.
Device Selection
From the drop-down list, select the device you want to configure.
Network ID
If “Device Selection” is set to the local device, enter the network ID in
the “Network ID” field; then click “Save changes” to set the entered
network Id.
If “Device Selection” is set to a remote device, enter the network ID in
the “Network ID” field and enter the remote device access key in the
“DAK Password” field; then click “Save changes” to set the entered
network ID. (A DAK password is on each PowerLine device label.)
Reset to default
Press “Reset to default” to restore the factory default settings of the
adapter.

When you initially plug in and turn on the power to a Powerline adapter,
the Power led should light. After approximately 10 seconds, the
PowerLine LED should also light, and the Ethernet LED should blink.
If the Power LED fails to light:
• If the AC power outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the
switch is in the on position.
• Verify that the wall socket is live. To do this, disconnect the Powerline
adapter and plug in another electrical product. If the Power led still
doesn’t light and you’ve confirmed the power outlet is live, you have a
hardware problem and should contact technical support.
If the PowerLine LED fails to light (but the Power LED is lit):
• Make sure that power is being provided to more than one PowerLine
device. Another PowerLine device must be installed for successful
communication across the Powerline.
• Verify that the network password is the same on all devices.
If the Ethernet LED fails to light and blink:
• Make sure that the Ethernet cable is plugged in properly at both ends.
• Be sure you’re using the correct cable on the router the first PowerLine
adapter is connected to. When connecting the router’s Internet port to
a cable or DSL modem, use the cable (straight-through or crossover)
supplied with the modem.
• on the attached ethernet device or network adapter card, check that
the link led is lit.
