3. Introduction
In this chapter, we will provide an overview of the Homeplug technology and introduce it briefly.
3.1 What exactly is Homeplug?
Homeplug is home and office networking using the electric wiring already installed in the building.
Cost factor and transmission quality
Homeplug is an economical and easy-to-use networking technology. You don't need to lay cables and you can connect to the home network at every power point. The Homeplug standard modulates and demodulates additional frequencies on the power lines. Modulation and demodulation is a well-known and proven method of data transmission, which has been in use in other applications for a number of years. Now it is used to set up Internet and network accesses in the home or office. Depending on the damping factor, distances of at least 200 meters can be covered. With a maximum data rate up to 500 Mbps and symmetrical upload and download speeds, Homeplug is comparable to traditional Ethernet network solutions.
Data security and radiation
128-bit AES encryption is used, which guarantees secure data transfer within the network.
3.2 The packages contains
• A Master and Slave Homeplug
• A CD containing manuals and utility
• A quick installation guide
• Two CAT 5e Ethernet cables (1.5 meter)
3.3 About this manual
