Product Overview The information contained within this document is confidential and cannot be reproduced without the approval of Extollo Communications.
Product Overview The LANPlug 2000 has been designed and built around the G.hn Powerline standard (referenced as ITU-T G.9963). It’s embedded with a Maxlinear processor, integrated DDR memory and an advanced high-speed Multiple Input / Multiple Output (MIMO) system optimized for 2 x 2 transmission across all three (3) electrical lines –...
The combination of 2x2 MIMO with beamforming improves bandwidth utilization and increase the LANPlug 2000 network’s range. This, in turn, improves video streaming, voice quality, and other bandwidth and latency sensitive transmission protocols. G.hn Powerline Overview A G.hn Powerline network can consists of one or more domains. Typically, a residential G.hn Powerline network will consist of a single domain.

Creating a Network The information contained within this document is confidential and cannot be reproduced without the approval of Extollo Communications.
A Powerline network setup consists of two or more LANPlug 2000 Powerline adapters. Connect one LANPlug 2000 to your Internet router with the provided Ethernet cable and plug it into an electrical outlet. Plug the second LANPlug 2000 into an electrical outlet close to the device that requires an Internet connection and connect the device with the Ethernet cable.

2. Connected the other end of the Ethernet cable to the LANPlug 2000 Powerline adapter. 3. Plug the LANPlug 2000 Powerline adapter directly into the electrical outlet. 4. The Powerline LED on the LANPlug 2000 will be green and then turn amber once it has finished its boot-up process.
2000’s to create a Powerline network using the pairing button. Pairing is to be performed one LANPlug 2000 at a time. Pair one LANPlug 2000 and then pair the second, third etc. It is recommended to start the pairing process with the LANPlug 2000 that is connected to the Internet router.
Internet router first until the Powerline LED starts to blink – release the pairing button. 2. Press and hold the pairing button for 3 to 5 seconds on the new LANPlug 2000 that is being added to the network until the Powerline LED starts to blink – release the pairing button.

Logging In The information contained within this document is confidential and cannot be reproduced without the approval of Extollo Communications.
LANPlug 2000 will automatically obtain an IP address from the Internet router. To access the web GUI on the LANPlug 2000, the IP address that was assigned to the LANPlug 2000 is required. To determined what IP address was assigned to a LANPlug 2000, log into the Internet router and see what devices are connected and their associated IP address.
Use the IP address that was assigned to the LANPlug 2000 to access the GUI. 1. Launch an Internet web browser from a computer. 2. In the web browser bar, type the IP address that was assigned to the LANPlug 2000. 3. The following login window is displayed.

“HomeGrid”. Force Node Type The Force Node Type is used to change the operational mode of the LANPlug 2000 in the G.hn domain. The options are “Domain Master” or “End Point”. The LANPlug 2000 that initiates the pairing process is made the Domain Master. It’s recommended that the LANPlug 2000 attached to the Internet router initiates the pairing process.
The Pairing Password is dynamically created during the initial pairing process. It is assigned to new LANPlug 2000’s when added to the G.hn domain during the pairing process. It is also used as the seed parameter to generate a random encryption key.
