Page 9: Point-To-Point Network
1.4 Point-to-Point Network CASE 1: Estimated throughput is less than 20 Mbps. The PLC channel is not able to transmit an SDTV channel. The COVERAGE LED will be RED as shown in the following figure: CASE 2: Estimated throughput is greater than 20 Mbps but less than 40 Mbps. The PLC channel is able to transmit an SDTV channel, but not two SDTV channels simultaneously or one HDTV channel. -
Page 10: Point To Multipoint Network
CASE 3: Estimated throughput is greater than 40 Mbps. The PLC channel is able to play at least two SDTV channels or 1 HDTV. The COVERAGE LED will be GREEN as shown here: 1.5 Point to Multipoint Network In the case where the PLC network is composed of three or more adapters, similar situations could arise as with a point-to-point network. - Page 11 CASE 2: The COVERAGE LED in G.hn adapter 1 will show the estimated level of the PLC link from which it is receiving the most amount of traffic at any given time. For example, if G.hn adapter 1 is receiving traffic at 50Mbps from G.hn adapter 2 and is receiving 25Mbps from G.hn adapter 3, the COVERAGE LED will show the level with reference to the G.hn adapter 2 link, as shown in the following figure.
