Introduction Extollo Communications adapters are based on the HomePlug AV and AV2 standards. The adapters let you build or expand your current home network using the existing electrical power lines in your house. Extollo’s HomePlug powerline communications adapters let you extend the Internet and distribute entertainment content such as OTT and IPTV throughout the home without installing Ethernet wiring.
AVLN is called “Pairing”. Please see the pairing procedure within this product guide for a complete description of the process. For further technical information on HomePlug networking, please see the AV and AV2 white papers.

Broadcom’s 60500 multiPHY SoC. Broadcom’s 60500 SoC is compliant to HomePlug’s AV2 specification. Extollo’s 1500 series of PLC adapters can use all three electrical wires that are present in a home to provide application speeds of up to 500 Mbps using MIMO with beam- forming technology.
Ethernet Packet Flow Extollo’s 1500 series of PLC adapters have a 1Gbps Ethernet interface, a 1.8Gbps PHY and act as a bridge using the power lines as the transport medium. Packets arriving at the Ethernet interface are stored in internal memory. Those packets are classified according to QoS criteria.
This now enables every power outlet in the home as an Internet access point. Take the second LANSocket 1500 adapter and plug it into a power outlet that is close to the device that requires Internet access. Connect the device to the LANSocket 1500 adapter via the Ethernet cable.
Installation Procedure Step 1: 1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the router. 2. Connected the other end of the Ethernet cable to the LANSocket 1500 adapter. 3. Plug the LANSocket 1500 adapter into the power outlet. Step 2: 1.
3. Plug the LANSocket 1500 adapter into the power outlet. 4. Press and hold the Sync button on the first LANSocket 1500 adapter for no more than 10 seconds - release after 10 seconds. Once released, the PWR LED will flash then go solid.
3. Plug the LANSocket 1500 adapter into the power outlet. 4. Press and hold the Sync button on the second LANSocket 1500 adapter for no more than 10 seconds - release after 10 seconds. Once released, the PWR LED will flash then go solid.
Configuring a common NMK and a private AVLN Step 3: 1. Ensure that the LANSocket 1500 adapters one and two are still plugged into the power outlet. 2. On adapter one, press and hold the Sync button for 3 seconds then release.
Ethernet cable to the devices that you are trying to network. Please note that you can only add one LANSocket 1500 adapter to a private AVLN at a time. To add multiple adapters, please repeat the pairing process for each additional adapter.

5. Precede to one of the LANSocket 1500 adapters that are already installed in the network. 6. Press and hold the Sync button for 3 seconds on one of the existing LANSocket 1500 adapters already installed in the network and then release the button (this operation must be done in less than 2 minutes of item 4 in Step 1).
Off: No network connectivity. The PLC adapter is not connected to any of the adapters. Ethernet Link Solid: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is linked. Off: Ethernet Link has not been established.

Network Optimization Extollo PLC adapters work better when plugged into a wall outlet without power strips, extension cords, surge protectors, or uninterruptable power supplies. If you’re Extollo adapters are having difficulty communicating with each other, please read the following section for corrective actions.
• Make sure there is power supplied to the electrical outlet. • Ensure the Extollo PLC adapter is securely plugged directly to the electrical outlet. • Try another electrical outlet. Power (PWR) LED is flashing1 second ON, 14 second OFF: •...
