TL-PA8010P AV1200 Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Adapter  
Chapter 1 Introduction  
This device is an AV1200 Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Adapter which transforms your house’s  
existing electrical wiring into a ubiquitous networking infrastructure. Simply plug this AV1200 Gigabit  
Passthrough Powerline Adapter into an ordinary AC power outlet which will easily extend your  
Cable/xDSL broadband connection or existing Ethernet (LAN) network to any other electrical outlet in  
any room of a house without the need of any new cabling.  
This powerline adapter supports up to 1200Mbps data rate over the existing household power circuit.  
With data rates of 1200Mbps, full multimedia application can easily be supported throughout the whole  
house in addition to Internet access. This powerline adapter uses the existing power lines installed in a  
home as a path to transmit digital data, voice, audio and video between devices.  
To ensure data communication’s security and multimedia applications, this powerline adapter supports  
built-in 128-bit AES encryption and Quality of Service (QoS) features.  
The new powerline adapter TL-PA8010P from TP-LINK provides extra convenience and better  
performance for your home network with its integrated electrical socket and mains filer. The common  
problem of wasting an electrical outlet is solved and additional terminal devices or multiple sockets can  
be connected to the adapter just like to a normal wall socket. What’s more, the data transmission in the  
network can be significantly improved by the integrated mains filter. With minimum setup, you can install  
and use this powerline adapter within minutes. The adapter adds two useful functions.  
1Existing connection with a new unassociated device added via the Pair Button.  
2Reset to default setting via the Management Utility or the Pair Button.

Chapter 2 Connecting Mechanism  
2.1 Introduction  
The powerline adapter supports up to 1200Mbps data rate. With this high speed connection rate, this  
powerline adapter allows you to set up a high speed home network by using your home existing  
electrical wiring. Simply plug this powerline adapter into an ordinary power outlet to extend your  
Cable/xDSL broadband connection or existing LAN network to any other electrical outlet in any room of  
your house.  
Note that powerline adapters work in pairs. One powerline adapter is connected to your Cable/xDSL  
broadband to extend broadband connection and Internet surfing. The other powerline adapter is  
connected to the computer for network access. With clean power line, the distance between two  
powerline adapters can reach up to 300 meters, but the actual distance may vary due to the  
environment.  
Section below describes the connection instructions and hardware connection mechanism.  
2.2 Connection Instruction  
To ensure the optimum performance of the powerline adapter and significantly improve the transmission  
capacity of the network, we recommend that you comply with the following connection rules:  
Plug the powerline adapter directly into a wall socket but not the multiple sockets.  
To take full advantage of the filter function of the Powerline Adapter and to improve data  
transmission in the network, always plug the multiple sockets into the integrated electrical socket of  
the Powerline Adapter.

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.

Simple Application Mapping: The group allows you to choose what type of traffic with the highest  
user priority you will use your local HomePlug device for by pitching one of the following radios.  
Please select the radio type according to your demand.  
Advanced Priority Mapping: The group sets VLAN priority to CAP mapping and default priority.  
Note that in HomePlug, CAP 3 is the highest priority while CAP 0 is the lowest priority. The values  
shown in VLAN Tags Priority are the default settings for the first running.

Chapter 5 Advanced Feature: How to Use the Pair Button  
5.1 Set Up a Secure Powerline Network  
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.  
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 secure 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  
LEDs on both adapters will stop flashing and become solid light when the connection is made.  
Join an existing secure powerline network:  
Powerline adapter A and powerline adapter B form a HomeplugAV network. Powerline adapter C wants  
to join this network.  
Step 1. Press and hold the Pair button on powerline adapter C for one second.  
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 LEDs on  
powerline adapters A/B and C will stop flashing and become solid light when the connection is  
made.  
Note:  
The sequence of Step 1 and Step 2 can be exchanged.  
Leave an existing secure powerline network:  
Powerline adapters A, B and C have formed a HomeplugAV network. The user wants to remove one  
device (powerline adapter A) from this network.  
Step 1. Press and hold the Pair button on powerline adapter A for about 8 seconds, and then release  
the button. (All LEDs of powerline adapter A will momentarily go off.)  
Step 2. Wait until the Power LED of powerline adapter A lights up steadily, indicating that it has already  
left the powerline network.  
5.2 Reset  
To reset the powerline adapter:  
Press and hold the Pair button for more than 15 seconds, and then release the button. You will see all  
LEDs go off momentarily, and then begin to flash. When the Power LED turn solid, the reset process is  
completed.  
Be careful, don’t power off the powerline adapter when it is in reset process.
