About the Product
HomePlug AV is read 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 s stem.
How Does It Work?
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 500 Mbps,
HomePlug AV can reliabl handle high requirement applications like broadband Internet, high
definition video streaming, and Voice over IP.
HomePlug AV converts digital signals to a complex analog signal that traverses along the electrical
wires. When receiving the analog signal, HomePlug AV converts the analog signal back to digital. To
make the signal secured, a 128-bit AES encr ption is applied.
A HomePlug AV device can onl communicate with other HomePlug AV devices that use the same
Private Network Name. The Private Network Name can be changed manuall using the HomePlug AV
Utilit software on a computer with a Windows operating s stem. When ou use the software, ou
have to manuall t pe the Private Network Name for the device. Another wa to change the Private
Network Name is to use the Simple Connect button. Simple Connect automaticall creates an
encr pted Private Network Name. It can also be used to reset the Private Network Name or to add
a device into an existing HomePlug AV network.
Note: HomePlug AV devices from the Twin Pack are alread configured to use a common Private
Network Name unique for that pair and are read to use. The 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 HomePlug AV network.
When a HomePlug AV communicates with another device, the Powerline Activit LED color will
give ou an idea about the connection rate: Red means below 30 Mbps; Amber means 30 to 80
Mbps; and Green means more than 80 Mbps.
