4 Introduction
1 Introduction
This chapter gives an overview of the HomePlug technology and briefly introduces the adapter. Practical examples are listed at the end of the chapter.
1.1 What does HomePlug stand for?
HomePlug (“Inhouse Powerline”) is an intelligent, secure technology that lets
you set up a home network easily, quickly and economically via your electrical wiring, without the need for complex and expensive
The available performance and effort required for the installation also compares favourably to traditional methods—HomePlug technology now
speeds you would expect from other LAN technologies.
1.2 AV200pro
The AV200pro combines the power industry and telecommunications and
brings you one step closer to transparent cost statements for your consumption data. The energy data is transmitted from
your computer via the household electrical wiring. With a transmission speed

1.2.2 Ports
Line connections (Fig. 1)
This is where you connect the conductors to the corresponding line connections.
NOTE:
Single-phase connection: Neutral conductors a
connected to terminals N and L1.
Three-phase connection: Neutral conductors
connected to terminals N and L1. The connection of external conductors L2
and L3 is optional and intended for optimising the signal transmission. The
device is supplied with power via terminals N and L1.
The permitted conductor cross-section for connection to
0.18 mm² to 6 mm².
Ethernet connection (Fig. 1)
This is where you connect the AV200pro via an Ethernet cable to the intelligent power meter (MUC) or another Ethernet de
device).
