TPL-101U/TPL-102E F.A.Q.
Q: How can I access the units again if I forget the password?
A:
The Powerline devices have a master password that is located on a sticker on the device.
Q: Can my neighbors access my network if they also have powerline devices?
A:
Yes, they can if they are within 300 meters of the nearest powerline device. TRENDnet powerline
devices use 56bit DES encryption to secure the network to prevent unwanted access to your
network. Make sure you run the PLC Configuration utility and click on the "Security" tab. Enter
the same network password for all powerline devices on your network.
Q: What is a Powerline Network?
A:
A Powerline Network uses electrical wires in your home or office to connect computers, routers, or
other network devices.
Q: How does a Powerline device communicate with other powerline devices?
A:
A Powerline device sends data along AC wires by using a frequency common to powerline devices
but different to other electrical appliances. Since a powerline device operates at a different
frequency, appliances such as your T.V. or microwave will not receive any interference, and your
powerline device will continue to communicate with other powerline devices at 14Mbps.
