DESCRIPTION
The default domain name of the PLA is "G.hn Network". The PLAs use the same domain name to
recognize and communicate with each other over the powerline network. If you change the
domain name of one device on the network, it will no longer be recognized as part of that
network.
If you change the domain name, make sure you change the domain name for all of the PLAs
that you want to be part of your powerline network.
The domain name can be from 8 to 64 characters in length, using "A"–"Z", "a"–"z", "0"–"9";
spaces are not allowed.
This field forces the PLA to have a particular role (END_POINT or DOMAIN_MASTER).
•
Select DOMAIN_MASTER if your PLA connects to a router or AP.
•
Select END_POINT if your PLA connects to the end device (for example, computer).
•
It is recommended to select the default setting AUTOMATIC for automatic role detection of
the PLA.
Shows the current role of the device based on your selection in the previous field.
Note: Node type change can take some time, click Ok after making any changes in
the Force node Type field. You may need to refresh your webpage.
This field selects the G.hn profile of all PLAs to apply in the G.hn network (PLC 100 MHz MIMO
Boost, PLC 100 MHz Boost).
•
Select PLC 100 MHz MIMO Boost (multiple input multiple output) when the PLA connects to a
3-prong electrical socket in your home. Multiple electrical paths between PLAs in the same
G.hn network are available and sending and receiving of data is through all 3 wires (power,
neutral, and ground).
•
Select PLC 100 MHz Boost when the PLA connects to a 2-wire electrical socket. A single
electrical path between PLAs in the same G.hn network is available and sending and
receiving of data is through the 2 wires (power and neutral).
Use this password for authentication. Enter a custom password to manually create a secure
connection with another PLA. The password can be up to 30 alphanumeric and special
characters. Then click Change.
Before connecting, make sure the other PLA is using the same Pairing password. Then click Pair
to allow connection with another PLA in the same power circuit. Wait a few minutes for the
connection, you may need to refresh your webpage to update the status.
This field list all the available G.hn connection details (remote node Device ID, MAC address,
Phy Tx (Mbps) transmission and Phy Rx (Mbps) reception physical speeds. Phy Tx (Mbps) refers to
how fast information is sent from the selected PLA to this PLA. Phy Rx (Mbps) refers to how fast
information is received from the selected PLA to this PLA.
