Overview

About the Product

The NP507 Powerline Kit is ready to use out of the box and does not require the installation of driver software to work. It can be
connected to computers, routers, gaming consoles, hubs, IPTV set-top boxes, and other Ethernet devices regardless of operating
system.

How Does It Work?

Powerline Adapters utilise the existing electrical wiring in the house as a path to create a secured network of computers and
Ethernet devices. With a maximum data rate of up to 600Mbps, the NP507 can reliably handle high requirement applications like
broadband Internet, high definition video streaming, and Voice over IP.
The NP507 converts digital signals to a complex analog signal that traverses along the electrical wires. When receiving the analog
signal, the NP507 converts the analog signal back to digital. To secure the signal, a 128-bit AES encryption is applied.
A Powerline device can only communicate with other Powerline devices that use the same Private Network Name. The Private
Network Name can be changed manually using the NP507 Utility software on a computer with a Windows operating system. When
you use the software, you have to manually type the Private Network Name for the device. Another way to change the Private
Network Name is to use the Simple Connect button. Simple Connect automatically creates an encrypted Private Network Name. It
can also be used to reset the Private Network Name or to add a device into an existing Powerline network.
Note: Powerline devices from the Twin Pack are already configured to use a common Private Network Name unique for that pair
and are ready to use.
When a Powerline adapter communicates with another device, the Powerline Activity LED
connection rate: Red means below 30 Mbps; Amber means 30 to 80 Mbps; and Green means more than 80 Mbps.
