Product Overview The information contained within this document is confidential and cannot be reproduced without the approval of Extollo Communications.
Product Overview Extollo’s LANSocket 1500 Powerline adapters are based on Broadcom’s 60500 multiPHY SoC. Broadcom’s 60500 SoC is compliant to HomePlug’s AV2 specification. Extollo’s 1500 series of Powerline 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.
MIMO increases the number of transmission paths across the Powerlines. Two line drivers and receivers enable the 1500 adapters to simultaneously transmit on any two of the three electrical powerline wires; Line, Neutral and Ground. The LANSocket 1500 MIMO paths consist of: Line- Neutral or Line-Ground.

Adding Additional LANSocket 1500’s to a Powerline Network Extollo’s LANSocket 1500 Powerline adapters come 2 to a kit or as a single unit with the default (HomePlugAV) Network Membership Key (NMK). They are considered as “members of the same network”. No user interactions are required when adding additional LANSocket 1500 adapters to the Powerline network.
Page 26
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the LANSocket 1500 adapter and the device that is to be networked (PC, gamming console, STB etc.). 3. To add the LANSocket 1500 adapter to the existing private AVLN press and holding the Sync button for 10 seconds and then release the button. Once the PWR LED has stopped flashing, advance to 4.
