Adding P-Link Wifi To An Existent P-Link 0.2 Network; Usage Of P-Link Wifi Without Any Other Powerline Device; Connection To P-Link Wifi - Tele System P-Link WiFi User Manual

The WiFi network generated from P-Link WiFi by default is not protected with any password. We strongly reccomend you
to conigure P-Link WiFi by adding a WiFi password. By doing so the user can prevent unauthorized access to his own
home network. You can find more details about how to perform such change in chapter 7.

6.1.2 Adding P-Link WiFi to an existent P-Link 0.2 network

If the user purchased P-Link WiFi (so in the product box you can find a single P-Link WiFi) and/or he wants to add P-Link
WiFi to an existent network with 1 or more P-Link 0.2 devices, please follow the procedure below:
If the powerline network is not encrypted (that is if the user never pressed Security button on the P-Link 0.2 devices):
Simply connect P-Link WiFi to a power socket (in the same electrical system). In this way P-Link WiFi will be
•
completely working and it will be possible using the wifi network generated by P-Link WiFi.
If the powerline network is encrypted (that is the user pressed Security button on all the P-Link 0.2 devices inside the
network):
Connect P-Link WiFi to a power socket (in the same electrical system).
•
Press Security button on all P-Link 0.2 devices inside the network and on P-Link WiFi (within 2 minutes). In this
•
way the powerline network will be encrypted and P-Link WiFi will be added to that network.
NOTE
The WiFi network generated from P-Link WiFi by default is not protected with any password. We strongly reccomend you
to conigure P-Link WiFi by adding a WiFi password. By doing so the user can prevent unauthorized access to his own
home network. You can find more details about how to perform such change in chapter 7.
NOTA
Please remember that the maximum number of nodes supported by the powerline network is 8, that is 1 powerline
transmitter (the one connected to the modem/router) and 7 powerline receivers.

6.2 Usage of P-Link WiFi without any other powerline device

If the user purchased P-Link WiFi (so in the product box you can find a single P-Link WiFi) and/or he wants to use the
device in order to generate a WiFi network, please follow the procedure below:
Connect P-Link WiFi to your broadband modem/router by using the ethernet cable
•
Connect P-Link WiFi to a power socket
•
Now the device is fully operative and you can use the wireless network generated by P-Link WiFi. Please notice that the
default name of the WiFi network is TELESystem-XXXX where XXXX represents the last 4 digits of MAC address of the
device. You can find the MAC address of the device on the back of the product itself.

7 Connection to P-Link WiFi

Once finished the installation procedure explained in previous chapter, the user can choose if configuring some features
of P-Link WiFi device. In order to do this, P-Link WiFi has a complete web interface. In this section we will explain how to

and 7. Please connect the P-Link WiFi to your own PC by using the ethernet cable. You can find the web interface of P-
Link WiFi at the address 192.168.8.1 but you need to change the IP address of your PC in order to have the same
network segment of P-Link WiFi, that is you need to assign a static IP address as the following: 192.168.8.XXX (we will
assign to the PC the following IP address: 192.168.8.2). The procedure is the following:
