Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

AboCom System, INC offers completed Power Line Communocation (PLC) product

selection such as the latest G.hn, HomePlug AV/AV2 and Wi-Fi 11n/b/g integrations and

thank you for choosing the Powerline Wireless-N Extender. The Extender will allow you to

network better than ever. With speeds up to 500Mbps (physical rate) and a powerful

high-speed wireless connection for compatible wireless-enabled devices into the network,

the Powerline Wireless-N Extender provides a better performing networking technology.

How does the Bridge do all of this? The Powerline Wireless-N Extender lets you turn the

existing powerlines in your home or office into a high-speed and wireless network. Now

you don’t have to drill through the walls, and climb through the attic or cellar to install

network cables, just use the wires that already run through the building.

But what does all of this mean?

Networks are useful tools for sharing computer resources. You can access one printer

from different computers and access data located on another computer's hard drive.

Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video games. So, networks are not only

useful in homes and offices, via the fast wireless network speed up to 300Mbps, you can

be very comfortable to have experience of high speed web surfing, files downloading, on

line game playing, and video conference session and streaming high quality multimedia

materials. The Wireless-N Extender provides WPA/WPA2, 64/128 bits WEP REBOOTion

and IEEE802.1x which ensures a high level of security to protect user’s data and privacy

when you are using Wi-Fi connection.

The Powerline Wireless-N Extender follows the HomePlug PowerLine network standard.

Just plug the Powerline Wireless-N Extender into the wall, and connect your devices by

Ethernet or Wi-Fi technology to the Extender, and you’ve turned your whole house into a

network infrastructure. Attach more computers/devices to your home network by simply

connecting them into the wall anywhere in the house, using more Powerline Wireless-N

Extender.

Once your computers are connected to the network, they can share resources like

printers and storage space, and all kinds of files: music, digital pictures, and documents.

With up to 500Mbps data rates, you can play head-to-head network computer games, too.

And if you use a Powerline Wireless-N Extender to interface Broadband Routers from

your cable or DSL Internet connection to your PowerLine network, you’ll be able to get to

the Internet from any computer in the house.

Use the instructions in this Guide to help you connect the Powerline Extender, set it up,

and configure it to bridge your different networks. These instructions should be all you

need to get the most out of the Powerline Extender.

1.3 Setup Security on Powerline

The ENCRYPT function will be automatically activated while your power line is up. All you

need to do is to change a Network Name. Although the power line is a plug-and-play

network device, we still recommend users to have secret password (Network Name) to

limit unlicensed powerline to access your private network.

1.3 Setup Security on Powerline

1.4 Setup Multiple Powerline Networks

You might need several powerline networks on a single network. Multiple powerline

networks can coexist on a small environment, such as you have two or three separate

Ethernet network in office.

Different Network Name separated different powerline networks. Information is not shared

within different powerline circuits. Powerline traffic can communicate with each other only

with the same Network Name.

Please do the followings to create multiple powerline networks:

Connect a powerline to a switch on your first Ethernet network and assign a Network

Name (for example “HomePlugAV1”) to the powerline. Add additional powerline devices to

this network by assigning the same Network Name (“HomePlugAV1”). We complete the

first powerline network.

Connect another powerline to a switch on your second Ethernet network and assign

different Network Name (for example “HomePlugAV2”) to the powerline, and assign the

same Network Name (“HomePlugAV2”) to additional powerlines. This is the second

powerline network.

Again assign a different Network Name (for example “HomePlugAV3”) for the third one.

Refer to Section 1.7 for more details.

1.4 Setup Multiple Powerline Networks

1.5 The WPS Button

It can setup security easily by one clicking (two seconds) on WPS Button. Using this

feature could let your wireless client automatically synchronize its setting and connect to

your powerline in a minute without any hassle.

To activate WPS, you also need to press the WPS button of a wireless client in 120

seconds after you pressed the powerline WPS Button. Then the two devices connect and

create a secure wi-fi network.

You can manually use PIN and PBC from WEB GUI to do WPS, too.

1.5 The WPS Button

1.6 Reset the Powerline

Press the RESET/REBOOT Button for 5 seconds to reset your powerline to a factory

default settings. Refer to Section 1.7 for more details.
