About the Product
Aztech HL109E HomePlug AV 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?
HL109E HomePlug AV 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, HL109E HomePlug AV can reliably handle high requirement
applications like broadband Internet, high definition video streaming, and Voice over IP.
HL109E HomePlug AV converts digital signals to a complex analog signal that traverses
along the electrical wires. When receiving the analog signal, HL109E HomePlug AV
converts the analog signal back to digital. To make the signal secured, a 128-bit AES
encryption is applied.
A HL109E HomePlug AV device can only communicate with other HL109E HomePlug AV
devices that use the same Private Network Name. The Private Network Name can be
changed manually using the Aztech HL109E Utility software on a computer with a
Windows operating system. When you use the software, you have to manually type the
Private Network Name for the device. Another way to change the Private Network Name
is to use the Simple Connect button . Simple Connect automatically creates an
encrypted Private Network Name. It can also be used to reset the Private Network Name
or to add a device into an existing HL109E HomePlug AV network.
Note: HL109E HomePlug AV devices from the Twin Pack are already configured to use a common Private
Network Name unique for that pair and are ready to use. The HL109E HomePlug AV from a Single Pack, on
the other hand, uses a random Private Network Name. You still need to change its Private Network Name
to allow it to communicate with an existing HL109E HomePlug AV network.

When a HL109E HomePlug AV 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.
Direct Connection
For best performance, connect HL109E HomePlug AV 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.

How to Use Simple Connect
Simple Connect provides a more convenient way of creating your HL109E HomePlug AV
network without the need to open the Aztech HL109E Utility software from a computer.
The button has three main functions which includes:
• Creating a HL109E HomePlug AV Network
• Resetting the Private Network Name
• Joining an existing HL109E HomePlug AV Network
Creating a HL109E HomePlug AV Network
To create a HL109E HomePlug AV network, you need at least two HL109E HomePlug AV
devices using random Private Network Names. When you press Simple Connect on
both devices, a common Private Network Name will be automatically generated to
enable them to communicate with each other.
Note: New 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 Network Name using Simple Connect for both devices, you
need to reset their Private Network Names to a random key before proceeding.
