Privacy - TP-Link TL-PA201 User Manual

packages matching the VLAN or TOS Bit priority will be assigned the Powerline contention priority
(channel Access Priority, CAP) as set in the corresponding dropdown box. If a package has both VLAN
and TOS in it, VLAN will override TOS.
The 'Default CAP' group allows for default priority mapping of packages that do not have a VLAN or TOS
bit (or if these are disabled). Setting are available for Unicast (directed to a host).
IGMP - (default CAP 3) – sets the channel access priority for IGMP frames – these are the group
management frames, not the stream data
Unicast – (default CAP 1) – sets the default channel access priority for unicast frames not matching
any other classification or mapping.
IGMP managed Multicast Stream (Fixed to CAP 2) – sets the default channel access priority for
stream data belonging to a snooped IGMP multicast group.
Multicast/Broadcast – sets the default CAP for multicast frames not in a snooped group and for
broadcast frames.
After making CAP settings, clicking the Write button will commit these, along with the values from the
Configuration tab, to NVRAM on the connected device.

The Privacy configuration page provides a means for managing the local network and providing
additional security for the logical network and also to select the devices that has to be included in the
network. All Powerline devices are shipped using a default logical network (network name), which is
normally "HomePlug"

Powerline Adapter that is currently connected to this computer into a private network. Reset the private
network to universal public network by clicking on the "Use Default (Public Network)" or
entering/editing "HomePlug" under column of "Private Network Name" is always available.
Note that every Ethernet Powerline Adapter on your home network MUST have the same Network
Password for connectivity to be established throughout your home.

Changing the network name to anything other than "HomePlug" will show the network type on the Main
configuration screen as "Private".
