1.6 LED Definitions State Description Powerline network activity. Powerline Search or no Powerline network activity. Ethernet connection is OK. Ethernet Flashing Data transfer. No link to Ethernet. Power on. POWER Powerline off or failure. Button Description Button can auto secure and group the Powerline devices. Secure Push this button can reset to the factory default settings.
2. Powerline Networking Utility Note The Powerline Device can auto detect the other Powerline bridges which plug in the same power circuit, you don’t need to use this Powerline utility except you want to encryption all the Powerline devices as the same group or you can not access the other computers.

Common Features of Tabbed Windows Status Bar The status bar, along the bottom of each window, contains five fields that provide important network information. • The first field contains the status of the Device Manager in respect to connection to a Powerline device. ‘Connected’...
2.1 User Interface - Network Information Tab This window is an Operation Analysis window that reveals Network information in three categories: CCo Information, Connected STA Information and Topology. 2.1.1. Topology The ‘Topology’ group shows the TEI, MAC Address, Bridged MAC Address and the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) Coded and Raw PHY rates for all nodes on the network (other than the local STA).
2.2 User Interface - Encryption Tab This Encryption window is used to set or change the network password on a remote device identified by its DAK password. Clicking the ‘Set’ button sets the entered passwords. If the DAK password field is left blank, then clicking the ‘Set’...
2.3 User Interface - Link Information Tab 2.3.1. Link Characteristics Box The context of the link is identified with the Source and Destination address boxes in the Link Characteristics group box. The Source Address defaults to the address of the device selected in the Device Selection box on the lower left of the tab and the Destination Address is selected from a drop down list.
2.4 User Interface - Connection Information Tab The Connection Information window is used to acquire statistics for both transmit and receive operations in the local or remote network. 2.4.1. Connection Select CSMA : the Destination Address (DA) drop-down menu may be used to select ALL devices or specific devices in the network.
2.5 User Interface - QoS Tab 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 –...

2.5.3 Default CAP The ‘Default CAP’ group allows for default priority mapping of packets that do not have a VLAN or TOS bit (or if these are disabled). Settings are available for Unicast (directed to a host). IGMP (default CAP 3): sets the channel access priority for IGMP frames - these are the group management frames, not the stream data.

2.5.4. IGMP The ‘IGMP’ group includes controls to disable the query timeouts. Checking the ‘Override Defaults’ box will enable the other boxes as choices. 2.5.5. Priority TTL Value The ‘Priority TTL Value’ determines the life span (Time to live) of each packet in the buffer of the AV device that will be sent over the powerline subsequently.
3. Push Button Setting There are 2 buttons in this device, one is Reset button the other is Secure button. Reset: Push this button can reset to the factory default settings. Be careful, when you press the reset button, please make sure unplug (remove) the Ethernet cable (RJ-45cable) first, and then press the reset button. After press the reset button (the time need <...
