The Connectors *Push Button: Power line sync *Connect your device to a LAN port, using the included Ethernet cable *Connect DC power cord to your DC *Reset Button: Hold down port on device the reset button for 1~3 (for BiPAC 2070P) seconds to reset device to factory default Connect the AC power cable to the outlet
Push Button usage There are 3 types of trigger states for the Push Button. 1. “Broadcast State”, for a 2070(P) providing information for another 2070(P) to join its powerline network group (it works even if it is the only one currently in the group). 2. “Join State”, for an ungrouped 2070(P) to join an existing powerline network group.
have device A joining the network group “BC”. Scenario 3: 2070(P) Device A of network group “AD” wants to join an existing network group “BC”. For a device which already belongs to an existing group, if it wants to join another group that device must go into the “Ungroup State” and ungroup itself first. Example: 1. Hold down the Push Button of 2070(P) Device A for 10 or more seconds to turn it into the “Ungroup State”.

Understanding BiPAC 2070(P) HomePlug AV 200 Ethernet Bridge Utility 2070P Ethernet Bridge Utility consists of 3 screens accessed through 3 panel tabs. The 3 panels are Network Information, Configuration and Firmware Upgrade located on the top left corner of the program for configuration convenience. Network Information screen CCo Information The CCo (Central Coordinator) contains information about the MAC address and TEI of the CCo in the network.
and TEI for the station upon which the DM is running. Topology The Topology contains information about the TEI, MAC Address, Bridged MAC Address and the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) Coded and Raw PHY rates for all nodes on the network (other than the local STA). The ‘Coded’ rates exclude FEC bits. The ‘Raw’ rate is the actual channel bit rate. The Raw rate is determined by carrier bit loading and the applied HomePlug AV Tone Mask which utilizes 917 carriers out of a possible 1155.
Configuration screen This Configuration screen is used to set or change the network password on a remote device identified by its DAK password. Clicking the ‘Set’ button sets the entered passwords. If the DAK password field is left blank, then clicking the ‘Set’ button will set local device with the entered password. The ‘Set Encryption for Remote device’ checkbox should be selected to set the Network Password for the remote device.
Advanced Setting: QoS Screen BiPAC 2070/2070P provides QoS (Quality of Service) which contains 4 different levels of CAP (Channel Access Priority) to control the speed and priorities of various transmission methods. The 4 different levels of CAP are presented as CAP0, CAP1, CAP2, and CAP3. CAP0 is the lowest prioritized setting and CAP3 is the highest prioritized setting used for important transmissions.
IP Port example: In this example one of the destination computers regularly uses the web cam for conference meeting with overseas customers. To ensure that the web cam maintain a high quality voice and video stream, we can set the UDP 5100 (used for web cam protocol) in to the Dest IP Port table by clicking on the Dest IP Port word and entering the port number and selecting the CAP to CAP2. Setting it as CAP2 is enough for the web cam quality.
VLAN ID: IEEE 802.1q contains 12 bits within the data packet to record the VLAN ID. BiPAC 2070/2070P is able to read the VLAN ID to allow the gateway connected behind the BiPAC 2070/2070P to determine what packet is from which LAN. Based on the 8 different VLAN IDs (VLAN ID 0~ VLAND ID 7), users can manage the VLAN via QoS. TOS: Within the data packet of Type of Service, it contains 3 bits of information called the precedence bits which allows BiPAC 2070/2070P to determine the priority of the transmission.
Priority TTL The Priority TTL contains the option to set the TTL (Time To Live) values for CAP0 to CAP3. The values are set milliseconds ranging between 10 and 65000 msec and it defines the length of time that a data packet should be valid for within the network. We strongly advise not to change the default settings of Priority TTL.
Default CAP The Default CAP contains the option to set the CAP for IGMP, Unicast, IGMP managed Multicast Stream and Multicast/Broadcast. For novice users, we strongly advise not to change the default settings of Priority TTL. IGMP: IGMP’s default CAP is set as CAP3. It is a communication protocol used to manage the membership of Internet Protocol Multicast groups. The big advantage of IGMP is efficient in using the bandwidth within the network.
Both Multicast and Broadcast are one to many transmissions. The difference between the two is that Multicast requires Multicast Group to be in the same subnet for them to receive the data packets. IGMP The IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) contains the option to override defaults to disable Query Timeout within the Group Specific and the All Groups options. Note: Disabling Query Timeouts can potentially lower the speed of the internet.
Firmware Upgrade screen Firmware Upgrade: This button provides the user with an option to download firmware to upgrade or downgrade across PIB and FW versions. See following description of the Upgrade behavior. The upgrade functionality provides the user with a simple means to migrate back and forth between firmware versions. Clicking on the Firmware Upgrade button will first read the PIB running on the device.
