Getting Intimate with your Powerline Device
Before installing your powerline networking device, please take a moment
to examine and familiarize yourself with it. Below is a diagram of the
PL9920-BBR along with a brief description of what each LED and port rep-
resent.
The front panel of the router has a number of LEDs indicating the status of
the device, their functions are:
PWR: Steady light indicates the device is powered up.
RDY: Flashes quickly after the router is powered up. When the router
is ready to use, the LED flashes every second to indicate the router is
functioning normally. If the LED stops flashing or flashes more rapidly
an error has occurred. Refer to the troubleshooting section for help.
LINK: One or more powerline devices have been detected on the net-
work.
ACT: Traffic indicator on the powerline network (will flash occasional-
ly even if no powerline device is connected).
WAN/LAN 1-4 10/100M: If LED is on, the connected device is a
100 Mbps device.
WAN/LAN 1-4 LINK/ACT: Steady light shows a device connected
to the port. Flashes when traffic on the port is detected.

Connecting the Asoka PlugLink PL Cable/DSL Router
1. Turn off all computers and other devices that will be connected to the
router.
2. Connect the Ethernet port ‘WAN’ on the Asoka PL9920-BBR to the
Internet access unit (Cable/DSL Modem) using the supplied Ethernet cable.
3. Connect the computers or other networking devices to the router:
a) To connect a computer (other networking devices) directly to the
router, simply connect the computer’s Ethernet port o the router’s LAN
ports (only port 2-4) using an Ethernet cable.
b) To connect computers (other networking devcies) to the router
using other HomePlug powerline network adapters, such as an Asoka
PlugLink Wall Mount device, connect the computer’s Ethernet or USB
port to the Wall Mount and plug the Wall Mount directly to an outlet.
For more information, please refer to the HomePlug Certified product
installation guide. (Note: Connect the powerline network
adapters directly into an AC wall outlet. Do not plug the pow-
erline network adapters to a power strip or extension cord.)
c) To connect an Ethernet Hub/Switch to the router, simply connect
one of the Ethernet ports on the Hub/Switch to the router using an
Ethernet cable. Be sure to connect to the router’s LAN 1 port. (Note:
LAN port 1 is meant for an Ethernet Hub/Switch. A crossover
cable must be used for LAN 1 port to connect a PC, printer,
etc.)
4) Power up the Internet access unit (Cable/DSL Modem).

5) Connect the power supply to the Asoka PL9920-BBR’s power port. Then
plug the power supply directly to an AC wall outlet. Wait until the ‘RDY’ LED
flashes with one second interval. (Note: Connect the power supply
directly into an AC wall outlet. Do not plug the power supply to a
power strip or extension cord.)
6) Turn on one or more of the devices on your network that will access the
Internet through the router.
7) All devices connected to the router and powered on will cause the cor-
responding ‘LINK’ light on the front of the router to turn on. Check that all
expected lights are on including the ‘WAN LINK/ACT’ light. Make sure that
the correct type of cabling is used for all ports. See the troubleshooting
guide if a light is not on. See illustration below for reference.
8) Now the necessary hardware setup is complete, and the software setup
of router and the connected computer begins.

LAN Side and WAN Side
The router creates a divider between the Internet (WAN side) and your
computers on the Local Area Network (LAN side). The router uses a
Firewall to protect the computers on your LAN from all other computers
connected to the Internet.
LAN Side Setup Guide
There are two parts of the software setup, first to get all equipment on the
LAN working with the router and then to get the router to connect to the
Internet. The connection of a local computer to the router is required first,
so that will be the first step.
The setup will be simplest if automatic IP address assignment (DHCP) is
used. To find out if DHCP is enabled, follow these steps depending on oper-
ating system:

‘Control Panel.’
2) Double click on the ‘Network’ icon.
3) Select the TCP/IP entry for the Ethernet
adapter or Powerline adapter used to con-
nect to the router.
4) Click ‘Properties.’
5) Select the ‘IP Address’ tab.
6) Select ‘Obtain an IP Address
Automatically’ if not already selected.
7) If the computer was previously con-
nected to the Internet, it may have an old
gateway setting. Remove the gateway
setting by clicking on the ‘Gateway’ tab
and remove any IP addresses.
8) Click ‘OK’ to close the TCP/IP properties
panel.
9) Click ‘OK’ to close the Network panel.
