Chapter 1 Introduction to Hardware
Thank you for purchasing Rosewill‟s RPLC-201P 200mbps Powerline Pass-Through
Fast Ethernet Adapter. The RPLC-201P adapter can transmit data up to 200mbps
via household‟s power outlet. RPLC-201P helps you to easy establish a high-speed
network that supports HD video, voice, and data without wiring and drilling. It is
suitable for using in a wide range of both residential (at home) and commercial
(offices, apartments, hotels, warehouses) network applications.
1.1 Expanding your Network with RPLC-201P
The RPLC-201P plugs into an power outlet to extend cable or DSL modem
connection or your current Ethernet Network to almost any power outlet in your
home with any new cabling.* Devices can securely communicate with each other via
the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) through RPLC-201P at a high
speed transfer rate of 200Mbps and at 10/100mbps LAN support.
Note:
Powerline Technology has certain limitations.
1. To ensure the best performance for Powerline Data transmission, we recommended to use
under one power circuit and without uses via power strip or extension block.
2. Performance may be decreased under different circuits but within one Electricity Meter due
to the drop-off via hardware.
1.2 Key Features
Plug and Play with Quick and Easy Installation
Installation requires no new wiring
Every power socket becomes a connection node in the household.
RPLC-201P supports connection for a total of 16 nodes.

same network.
Note:
Only devices that have their password verified can be removed from a
network by clicking Change NPW. Before changing a device‟s NPW,
click Enter Password to enter the device‟s password to achieve
verification.
If the device is found and has its password entered correctly, enter a new NPW
different from the existing network in the Set Network Password dialog box
displayed. Then, the device is successfully removed from the network.
If a device does not have its password entered, a “Not change!” message appears.
You need to click Enter Password to enter the device‟s password to achieve
verification first.

Chapter 3 How to Use the Security/Reset Pushbutton
This chapter describes how to use the Security/Reset pushbutton to add new
devices into or remove devices from a HomePlug AV logical network (AVLN). You
can monitor the operation progress and results by observing the Power LED status.
3.1 Forming a HomePlug AV logical network
Scenario:
Devices A and B with different NMK (Network Membership Key used to
authenticate/access) values are connected to the same powerline. Users want
to use them to form a logical network.
Forming a HomePlug AV logical network
Do as follows to form a logical network:
1. Press the Security/Reset pushbutton on device A or B for 5-8 seconds. The
device will reset and restart with a random NMK.
2. Press the Security/Reset button on device A for less than 3 seconds.
3. Within 30 seconds, press the Security/Reset button on device B for less than
3 seconds.
4. Wait for connection to complete.
The power indicator on both devices will flash evenly at 1 second intervals until
the operation succeeds or fails. If the connection succeeds, the Power and Data
indicators on both devices illuminate steadily. If the connection fails, the Power
indicators on both devices keep steady on, but the Data indicators on both
devices are off. In that case, repeat steps 1-4.
-25-
200Mbps Powerline Pass-Through Fast Ethernet Adapter KIT - RPLC-201PKIT- User’s Manual
3.2 Joining a Network
Scenario:
Devices A and B are located in network N. Users want to add device C (the
joiner) into network N. Any devices on network N can become the „adder‟.
Joining a network
Please follow below to add Device C to Network N using the Security button:
1. Press the Security/Reset pushbutton on device C (the joiner) for 5-8
seconds. The device will reset and restart with a random NMK.
2. Press the Security/Reset button on device C (the „joiner‟) for less than 3
seconds.
3. Within 30 seconds, press the Security/Reset button on device A (or device
B) for less than 3 seconds.
4. Wait for connection to complete.
The power indicator on both devices will flash evenly at 1 second intervals until
the operation succeeds or fails. If the connection succeeds, the Power and Data
indicators on both devices illuminate steadily. If the connection fails, the Power
indicators on both devices keep steady on, but the Data indicators on both
devices are off. In that case, repeat steps 1-4.
3.2 Leaving a Network
Scenario:
Device C is located in a network. Users want to remove device C (the „leaver‟)
from its network.
-26-
200Mbps Powerline Pass-Through Fast Ethernet Adapter KIT - RPLC-201PKIT- User’s Manual
Leaving a network
1. Press the Security/Reset pushbutton on device C (the „leaver‟) for 5-8
seconds. The device will reset and restart with a random NMK.
2. Wait for reset to complete.
The Power indicator on device C momentarily extinguishes during reset, blinks
during restart, and then illuminates steadily.
After device C is removed from its existing network, users can disconnect the
device from the medium or join it to another logical network on the same
medium

Appendix D: RPLC-201P QoS Support
RPLC-201P allows for 4 levels of Channel Access Priority (CAP (0 – 3)). 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, and CAP 2 is used for streaming HD video and
music while CAP 1 and CAP 0 are used for data.
Default CAP
The „Default CAP‟ group allows for default priority mapping of packets that do not
have a VLAN TAG. The settings are available for Unicast (directed to a host).
Unicast - (default CAP 1) - sets the default channel access priority for
unicast frames not matching any other classification or mapping.
IGMP managed Multicast Stream (Fixed to CAP 2) - sets the default
channel access priority for stream data belonging to a snooped IGMP
multicast group.
IGMP - (default CAP 3) - sets the channel access priority for IGMP frames -
these are the group management frames, not the stream data.
Multicast/Broadcast - sets the default CAP for multicast frames not in a
snooped group and for broadcast frames.
The following are the factory fixed settings for QoS Priority:
1st: Network Management Frames and Voice
2nd: Video and Music Streaming
3rd: Data Streaming
