About the Product

HomePlug AV Adaptor is ready to use out of the box and does not require the installation

of driver software to work. It can be connected to computers, routers, gaming consoles,

hubs, IPTV set-top boxes, and other Ethernet devices regardless of operating system.

How Does It Work?

HomePlug AV Adaptor utilizes the existing electrical wiring in the house as a path to

create a secured network of computers and Ethernet devices. With a maximum data rate

of up to 200 Mbps, HomePlug AV Adaptor can reliably handle high requirement

applications like broadband Internet, high definition video streaming, and Voice over IP.

HomePlug AV Adaptor converts digital signals to a complex analog signal that traverses

along the electrical wires. When receiving the analog signal, HomePlug AV Adaptor

converts the analog signal back to digital. To make the signal secured, a 128-bit AES

encryption is applied.

A HomePlug AV device can only communicate with other HomePlug AV devices that use

the same Private etwork ame. The Private etwork ame can be changed manually

using the HomePlug AV Utility software on a computer with a Windows operating system.

When you use the software, you have to manually type the Private etwork ame for

the device. Another way to change the Private etwork ame is to use the Simple

Connect button . Simple Connect automatically creates an encrypted Private etwork

ame. It can also be used to reset the Private etwork ame or to add a device into an

existing HomePlug AV network.

ote:

ote:ote:

ote: HomePlug AV devices from the Twin Pack are already configured to use a common Private etwork

ame unique for that pair and are ready to use. The HomePlug AV from a Single Pack, on the other hand,

uses a random Private etwork ame. You still need to change its Private etwork ame to allow it to

communicate with an existing HomePlug AV network.

When a HomePlug AV device communicates with another device, the Powerline Activity

LED color will give you an idea about the connection rate: red means below 40 Mbps;

amber means 40 to 105 Mbps; and green means more than 105 Mbps.

For best Performance

For best performance, connect HomePlug AV Adaptor directly to a wall outlet. Avoid

connecting it to a power strip where other electrical devices are connected. Other devices

create electrical noise that may affect the performance of HomePlug AV Adaptor.

How to Use Simple Connect

Simple Connect provides a more convenient way of creating your HomePlug AV

network without the need to open the HomePlug AV Utility software from a computer.

The button has three main functions which includes:

• Creating a HomePlug AV etwork

• Resetting the Private etwork ame

• Joining an existing HomePlug AV etwork

Creating a HomePlug AV etwork

To create a HomePlug AV network, you need at least two HomePlug AV devices using

random Private etwork ames. When you press Simple Connect on both devices, a

common Private etwork ame will be automatically generated to enable them to

communicate with each other.

ote:

ote:ote:

ote: ew HomePlug AVs from a Twin Pack can already communicate with each other out of the box.

However, if you intend to create a new Private etwork ame using Simple Connect for both devices, you

need to reset their Private etwork ames to a random key before proceeding.
