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 ofce. With this technology, Ethernet devices in your home or ofce 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 certied Powerline
network adapter. BiPAC HomePlug AV 200 makes high-speed modem sharing as fast and simple
as plugging the devices in the wall.
