Quick Setup Button The button is use to setup the PLC to join into the PowerLine network group quickly. Resetting the network ID Press the Quick Setup button until all LEDs extinguish (more than 10 seconds), the PLC will reset the network ID setting and generate a random network ID.
Connecting to network You can connect the 200M HomePlug® AV to Fast Ethernet Adapter directly to the PC’s network adapter, switch, or any other Ethernet enabled device. Note: The Ethernet port on the Adapter supports 10/100M Auto-MDI/MDIX function, you can use a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable when connecting to another Ethernet enabled device.)
Configuration Utility The HomePlug AV Utility for Windows OS enables the users to identify PLC devices on the power line network, measures data rate performance, ensures privacy and performs diagnostics by setting user defined secure power line networks. Install Configuration Utility Insert the HomePlug AV utility CD into your CD-ROM drive and the Auto-run program will appear.
Using the HomePlug AV Utility To start the HomePlug AV Utility, double click the icon on the desktop, the Configuration Utility will be executed. The Configuration Utility was divided into four functions, Device Information, Network Information, QoS, Security, Upgrade and About, for details instruction, follow the below section.
Device Information The Device Information screen shows the device information including the MAC address, Firmware Version and the connected PLC device. Network Information The Network Information screen shows all devices that were on the power line network are listed here. Devices that are active on the current logical network will show a transfer rate and receiver rate.
QoS requirements are different for various data types such as streaming video or music, voice and raw data. To provide higher QoS for streaming data, priority levels can be set using tags at the beginning of data frames. Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) 802.1p priority tags on Ethernet frames are used to specify 8 (0 –...
