4.3 Advanced  
The third tab window labeled “Advanced” is for Quality of Service. With the proper configuration, the  
limit bandwidth can be took full advantage. 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 8 (0~7) levels of “user priority”. Homeplug AV powerline  
allows for 4 levels of Channel Access Priority CAP 0-3)). Therefore, the 8 levels of VLAN Ethernet tags  
must be mapped to the 4 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 while CAP 1 and CAP 0 are used for data. Mapping VLAN tags to CAP levels is easily  
done using the VLAN Priority Mapping function on the QoS tab window.

Chapter 5 Advanced Feature: How to Use the Pair Button  
5.1 Pair (Secure with 128 bits-AES)  
The Homeplug AV standard uses 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to safely transmit data  
between powerline adapters. For the powerline adapters to communicate with each other they all need  
to use the same Network Membership Key (NMK). Otherwise, they cannot unscramble the encrypted  
data sent in the powerline network.  
The Pair button allows you to set up a secure powerline connection with another HomePlugAV compliant  
powerline devices which also support the Pair feature.  
5.2 Set Up a Secured Powerline Network with the Pair Button  
You can connect a number of devices on a powerline network, but you can only use the Pair button on  
two devices at a time.  
Create a secured powerline network using the Pair button:  
Step 1. Press the Pair button of powerline adapter A for one second. The Power LED will start flashing.  
Step 2. Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button of powerline adapter B for one second. The Power LED  
will start flashing.  
Step 3. Wait for about 60 seconds while your powerline adapters A and B are connecting. The Power  
LED on both adapters will stop flashing and become solid light when the connection is made.

Step 2. Within 2 minutes, press and hold the Pair button on powerline adapter A/B for one second.  
Step 3. Wait for about 60 seconds while your powerline adapters are connecting. The Power LED on  
powerline adapters A/B and C will stop flashing and become solid light when the connection is  
made.
