Safety Warnings
1.Do not use the adapter in high humidity or high temperature environment.
2.Do not open or repair the case yourself.
3.Avoid using this product and all its accesories outdoor.
4.Place the adapter on a stable surface.
5.Only “HomePlug AV” compliant Powerline Communication (PLC) adapter for remote access is necessary.
6.Plug your BiPAC HomePlug AV device directly to the AC outlet on the wall. It is best to avoid using extension power cable as it may possess noise filter or surge protector functions that may cause interference that may impact the performance of the device.
7.Use only IT products (eg. fax machine, router) that are below 6Amp for the built-in AC outlet of
BiPAC 2074.

Chapter 1: Product
Introduction
BiPAC HomePlug AV 200 is a networking device that utilizes the existing wiring system as a path to transmit data signal through the inter-conversion between digital and analog signal. With this functionality, HomePlug AV devices can be plugged into an AC outlet to draw power and at the same time establishing a network connection between two or more Ethernet devices.
BiPAC HomePlug AV 200 can be used to bridge any Ethernet device to your Powerline network in your home or office. With this technology, Ethernet devices in your home or office can equally share high speed data transmission rate without the need to spend excessive time and money installing expensive Ethernet cable. It can be plugged into an Ethernet port on a router to equip a network with powerline capabilities and take advantage of the router features. HomePlug AV device can also be plugged directly into a cable or DSL modem that allows instant internet access over home Powerlines to each computer equipped with a HomePlug AV certified Powerline network adapter. BiPAC HomePlug AV 200 makes high-speed modem sharing as fast and simple as plugging the devices in the wall.

Features
1.Physical layer data rate up to 200Mbps over existing Powerline.
2.Uses powerline technology that takes advantage of the unused bandwidth of the electrical wiring in the home.
3.Ideal for Triple Play applications such as IPTV, VoIP telephony and high-speed Internet access.
4.Support 10/100 (MDI/MDIX) Ethernet switching.
5.Compliant with the HomePlug Powerline Alliance Industry specification HomePlug AV.
6.Power supplier design inside.
7.Ideal for Residential Users.
8.Power Saving mode: When PC / other Ethenet devices are completely power off or when there is no Ethernet cable connected, HomePlug device will automatically enter power saving mode which will help to reduce power consumption.
9.Noise Filter (only available in BiPAC 2074): Allow the filtering of noise which may be generated by some electrical appliances such as vacumn cleaner and hair dryer to prevent possible interference with HomePlug AV network.
