Chapter 1: Product Overview

The TPL-402E / TPL-402E2K is an excellent solution that can be used to extend your

network using your home or small office electrical wiring. In a home or small office

building, use the 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter with Bonus Outlet to link multiple

locations without the need to run long Ethernet cables. Combined with a single

broadband DSL/Cable Internet connection, every room with electrical power outlets can

provide easy access to your high-speed Internet connection. With HomePlug® AV speeds

of up to 500Mbps, this easy-to-setup solution can provide fast streaming HD movies,

online multiplayer games, and other data intensive applications for today’s HD

Entertainment Center demand.

Each TPL-402E 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter with Bonus Outlet allows you to

connect one network enabled device to a powerline network via Ethernet. In addition,

the built-in electrical power socket provides an additional outlet with noise filter to en-

sure optimum connection speeds and performance when using devices that need to be

plugged into the electrical outlet. In operation, the 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter with

Bonus Outlet is completely transparent, and simply passes data between the Ethernet

port and the powerline network. Any Ethernet-enabled device may be connected to the

10/100/1000Mbps Auto-MDIX Gigabit Ethernet port.

1.1 Powerline Network Solution

Add high-speed Internet access to any room in your home with this 500Mbps Powerline

AV Adapter with Bonus Outlet. You can stream HD movies and music, play online multi-

player games and much more.

Note: This TPL-402E 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter with Bonus Outlet needs to pair with at least one

other IEEE 1901 or HomePlug®AV compatible powerline device. (e.g. TRENDnet Powerline AV products

TPL-305E, TPL-303E, TPL-304E, TPL-310AP, TPL-401E, or another TPL-402E). The TPL-402E2K 500Mbps

Powerline AV Adapter Kit with Bonus Outlet already includes two TPL-402E adapters, therefore, there is

no requirement for an additional powerline adapter.

*Note: The following factors may affect the powerline network’s connection quality:

Noise –Generated by appliances that are connected to your electrical system through power outlets

that have high power consumption requirements. (e.g. Microwaves, ovens, blow dryer, iron,

dishwasher, etc.) The quality of your household electrical wiring may also cause additional noise on

your electrical system.

Distance –Long lengths of electrical wiring through your electrical system between connected

powerline adapters.

1.6 Ethernet Port/Buttons

Chapter 2: Product Installation

At factory default settings, a pair of TPL-402E 500Mbps Powerline AV adapters

with Bonus Outlet (or TPL-402E2K) can be installed into any room in your home or small

office with a wall power outlet, without the need for additional software or configuration.

To create a simple powerline network using a pair TPL-402E powerline adapters, simply

plug one of your TPL-402E adapters into a wall power outlet in one room and plug the

other TPL-402E adapter into an available wall power outlet in another room to establish

connectivity between the two rooms.

In order to share Internet connectivity through your powerline adapters, it is ideal

to install at least one powerline adapter in the room where your modem and router are

located and connect the powerline adapter to one of your router’s LAN ports via Ethernet.

Any additional powerline adapters that are installed and connected in other rooms will

then share Internet connectivity through your router. Once the powerline adapters are

connected to each other through the electrical system, any additional devices such as

computers or network appliances (e.g. Game Console, Blu-ray player, IP Set Top Box,

network enabled TV, etc.) connected to any of your powerline adapters via Ethernet can

then communicate to each other as well as share Internet connectivity through your

router.

The example diagram shows a typical powerline network configuration in a home environment with 3 powerline adapters

installed in different rooms. The orange line represents the powerline connectivity established through your home’s electric-

al system and the blue lines represent Cat. 5, 5e, 6 Ethernet connectivity to your network enabled appliances such as a

computer, router, or IP set top box connected to your television.

2.1 Initial Installation

The procedure describes how to create a basic powerline network between a pair of

TPL-402E powerline adapters and share Internet connection through a router to a

computer or network appliance in another room.

Assuming your router is already installed and configured for Internet connectivity and the

TPL-402E powerline adapters are at factory default settings.

1. Plug one of the TPL-402E powerline adapters into an available wall power outlet in the

room where your router is located.

Warning: Do not plug the powerline adapter into a power strip that has surge protection. Doing so

will degrade power line performance. For best performance, plug all powerline adapters directly into

a wall power outlet.

2. Connect one end of the Ethernet Cable into the Ethernet port located at the bottom of

the TPL-402E and connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into one of the router’s

LAN ports.

3. Plug the second TPL-402E powerline adapter into an available wall power outlet in

another room where your computer or network appliance (e.g. Game Console, Blu-ray

player, IP Set Top Box, network enabled TV, etc.) is located.

4. Connect one end of the Ethernet Cable into the Ethernet port located at the bottom of

the second TPL-402E and the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on

your computer or network appliance (e.g. Game Console, Blu-ray player, IP Set Top

Box, network enabled TV, etc.).

5. To verify connectivity between the TPL-402E powerline adapters, make sure that the

PL LED on each TPL-402E is on solid (Green, Amber, Red). Please refer to the LED

section 1.5 for details on the LED indicator.

6. You have successfully created a basic powerline network between a pair of TPL-402E

powerline adapters. The computer or network appliance connected to the second

powerline adapter via Ethernet can now access the Internet.

2.2 Securing your Powerline Network

The TPL-402E 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter with Bonus Outlet has a default network

name/security key assignment of “HomePlugAV”. When connecting a pair of TPL-402E

powerline adapters, both powerline adapters will be assigned the default

network/security key which allows the TPL-402E powerline adapters to establish

connectivity through your home or small office’s electrical system without the need for

additional software or configuration. For added security, the default network

name/security key can be modified using the TPL-402E Sync button covered in the

following section or through the use of the Powerline Configuration Utility in Chapter 4.

Note: The default network name/security key assigned to the TPL-402E is “HomePlugAV”. All powerline

adapters in the same powerline network must have the same network name/security key in order to

establish connectivity. . If the network name/security keys are not the same for all powerline adapters

on the same powerline network, the adapter will NOT establish connectivity. TRENDnet Powerline AV

models TPL-303E, TPL-304E, TPL-305E, TPL-310AP, TPL-401E, and TPL-402E all have the same default

network name/security key assignment of “HomePlugAV”.
