Chapter 2 G.hn/Powerline Setup 2.1 IP Configuration DHCP MODE PG-9182S4 supports two kinds of management IP simultaneously. To obtain an IP address from the DCHP server, follow the steps provided below. NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows. However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS).
Page 9
STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings. If you experience difficulty with DHCP mode, you can try static IP mode instead.
Page 10
STATIC IP MODE In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually. Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 192.168.0.x. NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows. However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS). Check your OS support documentation for further details.
2.2 Logging In Perform the following steps to login to the web user interface. STEP 1: Start the Internet browser and enter the default IP address for the device in the Web address field. For example, if the default IP address is 192.168.0.5, type http://192.168.0.5 STEP 2: A dialog box will appear, such as the one below.
Chapter 3 G.hn Interface 3.1 Basic Configuration • MAC Address Displays the MAC address of the device. • Device ID Device ID of this node. • Domain Name string of all nodes in the network. • Force node Type force the modem to have a particular role (END POINT or DOMAIN MASTER) •...
3.2 NDIM Configuration • NDIM mode set to Automatic for enabling automatic DOD selection functionality and set to Manual for manual configuration of DOD. • Domain ID (DOD) manually set the DOD number from 1 to 15 to use a different preamble seed than the default 0.
Chapter 4 IP Interface 4.1 IP config In the IP configuration tab of one G.hn node, the IPv4 and IPv6 settings can be read and changed. IPv4 subsection: • DHCPv4 enabled: in the case of choosing ”NO" IP configuration in the following parameters, the IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS should be configured;...
Page 15
• DCHPv6 enabled: in the case of choosing ”NO" IP configuration in the following parameters, the IPv6 Address, prefix, Default Gateway and DNS should be configured; fill these fields in. In the case of choosing “YES” they will be filled automatically when configuration is received from the DHCPv6 server.
Chapter 5 Ethernet Interface The Ethernet table shows the status & Info of the Ethernet interface; including Interface, Speed, Duplex, Interface Type, Mode, Internal PHY & Link. Powersaving Ethernet powersaving can be disabled, enabled by Ethernet link or enabled by Ethernet activity;...
Chapter 6 Device Interface 6.1 Hardware information In this tab, basic information such as MAC Address and Serial Number of the selected node is shown. 6.2 Software information Shows the FW version and system uptime. 6.3 Security The nodes in the network: to change the configuration password string from the default ("admin") to another;...
6.5 HTTP SW update STEP 1: Enter the path and filename of the firmware image file in the Software File Name field or click the Browse button to locate the image file. STEP 2: Click the OK button once to upload and install the file. NOTE1: The update process will take about 2 minutes to complete.
Chapter 7 Multicast Interface 7.1 MCAST Configuration In the MCAST Configuration tab of "My Network", IGMP snooping and MLD features can be enabled or disabled. Also, IGMP multicast IP addresses ranges which the G.hn PLC network will sniff; can be configured. •...
Page 20
IGMP Multicast ranges configuration: 4 multicast IP address ranges can be configured defining the minimum and maximum IP addresses of each range. Only multicast traffic within these ranges will be processed. Broadcast Suppression: Maximum throughput allowed without suppressing broadcast traffic. The accuracy of this parameter depends on size of packets (big packets -> more accuracy).
Chapter 8 QoS Menu 8.1 QoS Configuration In the QoS configuration tab, the packet classifier can be managed to define a QoS rule for incoming Ethernet traffic, and assign a priority to be used in the G.hn network. Press the “Ok" button for loading the newly configured settings: •...
Page 22
• Type of Frame: with this parameter the type of Ethernet traffic being transmitted by the G.hn network should be selected. Based on this parameter, the internal offsets in the system are adjusted. In the QoS tab, Ethernet frame offsets should be set counting number as they appear in the sniffer SW (for instance, the same field will be in a different position if normal Ethernet frames or 802.1Q tagged frames exist).
Chapter 9 VLAN Interface 9.1 VLAN Configuration VLAN configuration has been improved allowing the definition of access, trunk and hybrid VLAN ports. • VLAN Feature Enabled: To activate/deactivate VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) tagging/untagging traffic. • ETHA VLAN PVID: VLAN identifier for Ethernet A port (if it is set to 0, tagging is deactivated).
Page 24
• ETHA Port configuration: Port Configuration for Ethernet A port (ACCESS, TRUNK, NONE). • ETHB VLAN PVID: VLAN identifier for Ethernet B port (if it is set to 0, tagging is deactivated). • ETHB Port configuration: Port Configuration for Ethernet B port (ACCESS, TRUNK, NONE).
Chapter 10 G.hn spectrum Interface 10.1 Notches In this tab a table with all configured Notches of selected node will be shown. The table is composed of next columns for every notch: Notch Number, Type of notch, Start Frequency (KHz), Stop Frequency (KHz), Depth (in dB). The first 13 notches (Regulation) are Read Only, RO, in the system and they can be neither removed nor modified.
Chapter 11 Log file Interface 11.1 Log File In the Log File configuration the following settings can be read, and changed by clicking on the corresponding "OK" button for the selected node: • Enable Log File set to YES for enabling Log File functionality in the node and set to NO for disabling it.
Chapter 12 Advanced Interface Hardware Reset: Click on this button to perform a reboot in the node. Factory Reset: Input the password: betera and click the OK button to perform a factory reset. The current configuration will be lost.
