Quick Setup Button

The button is use to setup the PLC to join into the PowerLine network
group quickly.

Resetting the network ID

Press the Quick Setup button until all LEDs extinguish (more than
10 seconds), the PLC will reset the network ID sett ing and generate
a random network ID. Always reset the network ID before
pairing the PLC.

Pairing the PLC

When new PLC adapters want to join to existing PowerLine Network,
press the Quick Setup button on any exist PLC adapter and press
the new PLC adapter’s Quick Setup button within three seconds at
the same time, the Power LED will start blinking, it means the PLC
adapters goes to pairing process, when finished the pairing, the
Power LED will be steady on.

INSTALLATION

The 200M HomePlug® AV to Fast Ethernet Adapter is designed to be
simple and easy installation.

10/100M Fast Ethernet Port

Connect to Ethernet enabled device.

AC Power Plug

Plugging into the AC power outlet.

LED Indicators

Detailed LED description shows on Page 3.

Quick Setup Button

The button is use to setup the PLC to join into the HomePlug network
group quickly.

Connecting to network

You can connect the 200M HomePlug® AV to Fast Ethernet Adapter
directly to the PC’s network adapter, switch, or any other Ethernet
enabled device.

Note: The Ethernet port on the Adapter supports 10/100M Auto-MDI/MDIX
function, you can use a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable when
connecting to another Ethernet enabled device.)

Configuration Utility

The HomePlug AV Utility for Windows OS enables the users to
identify PLC devices on the power line network, measures data rate
performance, ensures privacy and performs diagnostics by setting
user defined secure power line networks.

Install Configuration Utility

Insert the HomePlug AV utility CD into your CD-ROM drive and the
Auto-run program will appear. Alternatively this can also be done
manually by double clicking the au torun.exe file on the CD.

Click the “Enter” on the menu to open the HomePlug AV Utility, the
install wizard will begin the software installation. Follow the install
wizard instructions completed the HomePlu g AV Utility install.

5

Using the HomePlug AV Utility

To start the HomePlu g AV Utility, double cl ick the icon on the
desktop, the Configuration Utility will be executed.

The Configuration Utility was divided into four functions, Device
Information, Network Informat ion, QoS, Security, Upgrade and About,
for details instruction, follow the below sect ion.

Device Information

The Device Information screen shows the device information
including the MAC address, Firmware Version and the connected PLC
device.

Network Information

The Network Information screen shows all devices that were on the
power line network are listed here. Devices that are active on the
current logical network will show a transfer rate and receiver rate.

QoS

QoS requirements are different for various data types such as
streaming video or music, voice and raw data. To provide higher QoS
for streaming data, priority levels can be set using tags at the
beginning of data frames. Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) 802.1p
priority tags on Ethernet frames are used to specify 8 (0 – 7) levels
of ‘user priority’.

The 200M HomePlug® AV to Fast Ethernet Adapter allows 4 levels of
Channel Access Priority (CAP (0 – 3)). Therefore, the 8 levels of
VLAN Ethernet tags must be mapped to the 4 levels of CAP priority,
where CAP 3 is the highest priority and CAP 0 is the lowest. CAP 3
priority might be used for voice and network management frames,
CAP 2 is used for streaming video and music while CAP 1 and CAP 0
are used for data. Mapping VLAN tags or TOS bits to CAP levels is
easily done using the VLAN Priority Mappin g function on the QoS tab
window.

Device Selection

Select the device from the drop down list and configure the device
selected.

List View

The QoS tab includes two list views to provide simple channel access
priority (CAP) classification for individual MAC addresses and IP Ports.
There is a collective limit of eight across both lists. No delimiters,
colons, or dashes are allowed in the MAC address format.

Priority Mapping

The ‘Priority Mapping’ group contains both VLAN and TOS Bit
mapping capability. When selected, packets matching the VLAN or
TOS Bit priority will be assigned the Powerline contention priority
(Channel Access Priority, CAP) as set in the corresponding dropdown
box. If a packet has both VLAN and TOS in it, VLAN will override
TOS.

Default CAP

The ‘Default CAP’ group allows for default priority mapping of packets
that do not have a VLAN or TOS bit. Settings are available for Unicast
(directed to a host).

‧ IGMP - (default CAP 3) - sets the channel access priority for IGMP

frames - these are the group management frames, not the
stream data

‧ IGMP managed Multicast Stream (default CAP 2) - sets the

default channel access priority for stream data belonging to a
snooped IGMP multicast group.

‧ Multicast/Broadcast - sets the default CAP1 for multicast frames

not in a snooped group and for broadcast frames.

‧ Unicast - (default CAP 1) - sets the default channel access

priority for unicast frames not matching any other classification
or mapping.

Reset to default

Press the Reset to default button to restore the factory default QoS
setting.

Save changes

Press the Save changes button to save and execute the modified
QoS setting.

Network ID

This Network ID window is used to set or change the network group
id.

Device Selection

Select the device form drop down list will be configure.

Setting the local device Network ID

If the Device Selection is selected to local
device

, enter the network ID in Network ID filed

then click Save changes button to sets the entered Network ID.
If the Device Selection is selected to remote

device

, enter the network ID in Network ID filed
and enter the remote device access key in DAK password field then
click Save changes button to sets the entered Network ID. (The
DAK password is show on each PLC’s device label).

Reset to Default

Press the Reset to Default button to restore the factory default
network id setting for “HomePlugAV”.

Upgrade

Device Selection
Select the device form drop down list will be configure.

Reboot Device

Press the Reboot Device button to reset the node, which will restore the initial factory
configuration.
