  • Page 19 Most people will not need to enter the Advanced settings section. The AV200 Powerline network is totally secure with these basic settings. The AV200 technology supports multiple networks on a single circuit. The networks are differentiated by Network Identifiers, which can be set in this section. The Network Identifier is a string of characters (Network Identifier field) which simply acts as a name for the network.

  • Page 24 3.4.5 Multicast Configuration In order to optimize multicast traffic (video streams, etc.) between AV200 Powerline adapters, you can specify which adapters should receive the video. Other adapters will then not be able to receive the multicast communication, and therefore the bandwidth will be used only for transmission to the intended recipients, making your broadcast, and your entire network, more efficient.

    3.4.6 VLAN Configuration When AV200 Powerline wall mount F adapters are used for ADSL extension, it is important for the operator to be able to distinguish the type of traffic that each adapter is generating. This is usually done by means of VLAN tagging. The AV200 technology includes the ability to tag all traffic that enters the Powerline network through each adapter’s Ethernet port.
