Product Overview
The LANPlug 2000 has been designed and built around the G.hn Powerline standard (referenced
as ITU-T G.9963). It’s embedded wit h a Maxlinear processor, integrated DDR memory and an
advanced high-speed Multiple Input / Multiple Output (MIMO) system optimized for 2 x 2
transmission across all three (3) electrical lines – Phase, Neutral and Ground.
The 2000 series of Powerline adapters have a 1Gbps Ethernet interface, a 1.5Gbps Powerline
PHY and act as a bridge using the power lines as the transmission medium.
Packets arriving at the Ethernet interface are stored in internal memory. Those packets are
classified according to QoS criteria. The packets are fragmented, then encrypted with AES 128bit algorithm and after that encoded with advanced quasi-cyclic low-density parity check (QCLDPC) Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithms. The resulting blocks are mapped onto an
Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transceiver with 4096 carriers in the 0-80
MHz band and transmitted in Powerline frames over the power lines using Multiple-Input /
Multiple-Output (MIMO) with beamforming according to the MAC protocols specified in the G.hn
Powerline standard.
In the reception direction, the transceiver synchronizes with the Powerline frames to receive
them, demodulate and decoding them, and after that, the resulting segments are reassembled
to form the corresponding Ethernet packets. The Ethernet packets are delivered to the bridge
QoS, which prioritize the packets to the Ethernet interface.
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output with Beamforming
Extollo’s 2000 series of Powerline adapters support 2x2 MIMO with beamforming.
MIMO increases the number of transmission paths across the powerlines. Two, line drivers and
receivers enable the LANPlug 2000 adapters to simultaneously transmit on two of the three
electrical power line wires; Phase, Neutral and Ground. The LANPlug 2000 MIMO paths cons ist
of: Line-Neutral or Line-Ground.
Beamforming works by improving what is called the rate over range, at a given distance from the
transmitting adapter; a receiving adapter will have improved performance. This is accomplished
by creating two independent signal paths to optimally focus transmission energy to and from client
adapters on a per-packet basis.
Beamforming enables Extollo adapters at either side of a link to get maximum performance by
taking advantage of channels that have strong performance while av oiding paths and carriers that
have weak performance. A reasonable expectation is that beamforming can result in a gain of
anywhere between 2 to 5 dB in performance. Beamforming is adaptive, which means it can
constantly adjust Powerline performance based on real-time events.

The combination of 2x2 MIMO with beamforming improves bandwidth utiliz ation and increase the
LANPlug 2000 network’s range. This, in turn, improves video streaming, voice quality, and other
bandwidth and latency sensitive transmission protocols.
G.hn Powerline Overview
A G.hn Powerline network can consists of one or more domains. Typically, a residential G.hn
Powerline network will consist of a single domain. In G.hn, a do main is constituted by all Powerline
adapters that can communicate with each other.
One of th e Powerline adapters in a G.hn Powerline network becomes the Domain Master (DM).
The
function of the DM is to control and coordi nate the operation of all Powerline adapters in
the domain, including admission to the domain, b andwidth reserv ation, resignation,
other management operations.
At any given time, only one Powerline adapter is allowed to act as a DM for a domain. In case a
DM fails, the DM function is passed to another Powerline adapter in the domain.
priorities and
Since all the Powerline adapters in the domain can communicate or directly interfere with each
other, the DM avoids interference between Powerline adapters by coordinating their transmission
time using Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA).
TDMA is a channel access multiplexing scheme that assigns a transmission time slot to each
Powerline adapter in the domain. It allows several Powerline adapters to share the same
frequencies between 2 to 80MHz by dividing the signal into different time slots. The Powerline
adapters transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each usin g its own time slot. This allows
multiple Powerline adapters to share the same electrical power lines.
The DM
receives signals from all the Powerline adapters within the domain. Thus, any
Powerline adapter wit hin the dom ai n can comm unicat e with anoth er Po werline a dapter o nly
through the DM. The DM further forwards the signals to the corresponding Powerline
addressee within the domain.

Powerline Network Optimization
Powerline adapt ers work best when plugged into a wall outlet without power strips, extension
cords, surge protectors, or uninterruptable power supplies.
If you’re Extollo adapters are having difficulty communicating with each other, please read the
following section for corrective actions.
Quick Tips
• Plug powerline adapters directly into electrical outlets.
• Try plugging the powerline adapter into an adjacent electrical outlet.
• Try power cycling the adapter - unplugging it from the electrical outlet for 10 seconds and
then plugging it back in.
• Make sure that the electrical outlet is working properly.
• Do not use the powerline adapters in areas with excessive heat.
• Perform a reset to factory defaults.
Optimizing Network Per f orm a nc e
The distance between sockets shouldn’t be a problem in most homes, but the age o f the electrical
wiring may affect performance in some older buildings.
There are a few things to bear in mind if you w ant to get the bes t performance from y our powerline
network.
• Avoid UPS devices, GFI protected electrical outlets, power strips, multi-way extension
bars or extension cords as these will cause the powerline signal to attenuate (weaken).
• Surge protectors in particular interfere with the operation of powerline adapters.
• Some electrical devices, such as mobile phone chargers, certain florescent or
incandescent lights can cause interference or completely block the powerline signals if
they’re plugged in to close to the Powerline adapter.
• Avoid using HomePlug Powerline adapters with G.hn Powerline adapters as they are not
compatible.
