  • Page 15: Introducing The Pla-407

    H A P T E R Introducing the PLA-407 1.1 Overview This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the PLA-407 HomePlug AV compliant Powerline adapter. In this User’s Guide the electrical wiring network is referred to as the “Powerline network”. The HomePlug AV standard specifies how network devices communicate using standard electrical wiring.

  • Page 16: Data Transfer

    Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA-407 1.1.1 Data Transfer The PLA-407 securely communicates with each other at high data transfer rates of up to 200 Mbps. The theoretical maximum channel data rate is 200 Mbps on the physical layer. The actual channel data rate will vary depending on noise on the electrical wires and the quality of your electrical installation.

    interference from the electrical devices so that it does not affect the Powerline network. This is shown in the following figure. Figure 2 Noise Filter on PLA-407 Home Appliances This setup maximizes the PLA-407’s performance and ensures that the Powerline network is stable.

  • Page 18: Low Power Mode

    Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA-407 1.1.5 Low Power Mode Your PLA-407 is a certified green product. It goes into Low Power mode when there is no Ethernet connection. When you plug the PLA-407 into an electric socket, it waits for an Ethernet connection.

  • Page 19: Ways To Manage The Pla-407

    Your network can be further expanded by plugging additional PLA-407s into other power outlets in your home and connecting other computers or network devices (for example, a printer) to them. Refer to your Quick Start Guide for hardware connection information. 1.3 Ways to Manage the PLA-407 Use the ENCRYPT button to add Powerline devices to your Powerline network if they have this button.

  • Page 20: Passwords

    Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA-407 1.4.1 Passwords You use two types of passwords in the HomePlug AV Powerline network. The following table describes the differences between the passwords. Table 1 Password Summary PASSWORD Network Name DAK (Data Access Key) Password 1.4.2 Setting Up Security The ENCRYPT feature automatically sets up security on your Powerline network.

    H A P T E R The Configuration Utility 5.1 Overview This chapter shows you how to use the Configuration Utility (or Utility) to secure, manage and set up Quality of Service (QoS) on your Powerline network. The PLA-407 is designed as a plug-and-play network expanding solution. This means that once you complete your hardware connections, the PLA-407s in your network (without additional configuration) are able to communicate with each other by sending and receiving information over your home’s electrical wiring.

  • Page 38: Device Access Key (Dak)

    Chapter 5 The Configuration Utility By default the PLA-407s are all configured with the network name HomePlugAV, this allows you to simply plug the devices in and not worry about setting up security. If you want to enhance the security on your Powerline network, you can change the network name on the Powerline adapters you want to allow to communicate in your Powerline network.
