  • Page 19 Network Identifier (please read below for details on Network Identifiers). The AV200 technology supports multiple networks on a single electrical circuit. The networks are differentiated by Network Identifiers, which can be set in the MAC section. The Network Identifier is a character string (Network Identifier field) which simply acts as a name for the network.
  • Page 20 Web Configuration The following picture shows an example of two AV200 networks with different Network Identifiers: Data transmission between adapters (called modems in the picture) is encrypted with a Triple-DES algorithm. The Encryption Key can be configured from a character string (Encryption Key field, ASCII or HEX), which is actually a passphrase.

  • Page 22 3.4.5 Multicast Configuration In order to optimize multicast traffic (video streams, etc.) between AV200 Powerline wall mounts, you can specify which wall mounts you want to receive the traffic. Others 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 overall network, more efficient.
  • Page 23 3.4.6 VLAN Configuration When AV200 Powerline wall mounts are used for ADSL extension, it is important for the operator to be able to distinguish the type of traffic that each wall mount 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 interface.

  • Page 32 The next picture shows a more advanced PLC (Powerline) network with three Corinex AV200 Powerline Ethernet Wall Mounts. This is a common network configuration, where Internet access and digital video are delivered through the same ADSL line. This configuration requires some QoS (Quality of Service) settings to guarantee video quality when the network is carrying large amounts of data from the Internet connection.
