Easy Start 1 Introduction to HP01 HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor One of the major drawbacks in setting up home network is the absence of required wiring inside the house to interconnect networked computers. In recent years several technologies have attempted to address the issue. The most prominent technology so far is the family of WIFI (802.11X) products Recently, however, another technology called HomePlug has come forth.

Easy Start 2. Connection and Indicator Lights The HP01 HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor has three lights indicator(LEDs) and an Ethernet port: PL-ACT: Flash when the powerline device is transmitting or receiving data. PL-LINK: Lights up powerline network is ready to use. 10/100MB: Red/Green Lights up when connector to the 10/100M Ethernet. Flash when transmitting or receiving data. ETHERNET: This is the connection point for connecting it to a computer or other devices with Ethernet port.

Easy Start 3.2 Care Instructions Network Volume The maximum number of HomePlug adaptors in a single-family house is theoretically 253 connections, but in practice more than 15 devices should be transferring data simultaneously. Network Security Normally the electric meter forms a physical barrier, i.e. only devices connected to this meter can be part of the network and benefit from the phase coupling . We strongly recommend that you use the HP01 HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor internal device encryption.

Easy Start 4 PLCConfig Installation Overview The installation of the Turbo Powerline Ethernet Bridge will only take minutes .Laying long wires throughout the house is not necessary . The device is also plug-and-play , which means as soon as two Powerline devices are plunged into the power outlets under the same electrical circuit , both devices should start communicating . The traditional RJ-45 LAN cable is simply replaced by in-house electrical wire .

Easy Start Setup will create the program's shortcuts in the following ‘Start Menu folder’. If you would like to select a different folder , click the 'Browse…' button. If not, continue and click the 'next' button. This section allows a user to go 'Back' or 'Install' the utility . In case if the user wishes to change the previous options then go ahead and click on 'Back' to change the settings . If not , continue and click the 'Install' button .

Easy Start 5 Configuration Overview The Powerline device uses 56-bit DES encryption to block outside access .The key is set by using the software utility on the CD . By default ,the protection is enabled . However , it is recommended that you change the default network password . All your Powerline devices must use the same network password in order for the computers to be networked . Make sure that all devices are loaded with the same network password . Diagnose Powerline network 5.

Easy Start 5.2 Diagnose a Network Powerline Device The Main tab shows all the other Powerline Units on your powerline network . It will represent them by MAC Address ,and will also show the available bandwidth to each unit ( Units farther away from the current computer might have a lower Data Rate , since the distance is farther ) .If you add or subtract units from your home network , you might want to re-Scan , by clicking the "Scan" button . This will rescan the network ,and refresh with any changes .
PAGE 14
Easy Start 5.3 Setting Up Security on a Local Powerline Device The Password tab will allow you to change the Network Password to the unit that is currently connected to this computer . Also it will allow you to change the network password to the remote HomePlug device that is scaned when you enter the device password of the remote HomePlug device to the remote device Default Encryption Key .This network password encrypts all data that is added to a 56-bit data encryption standard ( DES ) .
