PowerLine HD Ethernet Adapter user manual Model 503839* * This manual can also be used for the PowerLine HD Ethernet Adapter Starter Kit, Model 503808 INT-503839-UM-0608-01
introduction Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ PowerLine HD Ethernet Adapter, Model 503839.* This easy-to-install device allows you to create a high-speed network for the computers in your home or office by simply plugging the adapter(s) into any electrical outlet. You immediately create a network using the existing AC power lines and can extend your home network into areas a wireless signal cannot reach.
HARDWARE Installation The PowerLine HD Ethernet Adapter is designed for quick, easy installation. LED Indicators Quick Setup Button 10/100M Fast Ethernet Port Using the included Ethernet cable, connect the adapter to a network router, switch or other Ethernet-enabled device. NOTE: The Ethernet port on the adapter supports 10/100M Auto-MDI/MDIX, so you can use a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable when connecting to another Ethernet-enabled device.
CONFIGURATION UTILITY Installation The HomePlug AV Utility (for Windows 2000, XP or Vista) enables users to identify PowerLine devices on the PowerLine network. It also measures data rate performance, ensures privacy and performs diagnostics by setting user-defined, secure PowerLine networks. To begin installation, insert the included setup CD into your CD-ROM drive to display the Autorun program.
Network Information This screen presents a list of all devices on the PowerLine network. Devices that are active on the current logical network will show a transfer rate and receiver rate. QoS Quality of Service (QoS) requirements are different for various data types, such as streaming video or music, voice and raw data. To provide higher QoS for streaming data, priority levels can be set using tags at the beginning of data frames. Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) 802.
Device Selection From the drop-down list, select the device you want to configure. List View The QoS tab includes two list views to provide simple channel access priority (CAP) classification for individual MAC addresses and IP ports. There is a collective limit of eight across both lists. NOTE: No delimiters, colons or dashes are allowed in the MAC address format. Priority Mapping The Priority Mapping group contains both VLAN and ToS bit-mapping capability.
• Multicast/Broadcast: sets the default CAP 1 for multicast frames not in a snooped group and for broadcast frames. • Unicast (default CAP 1): sets the default channel access priority for unicast frames not matching any other classification or mapping. Reset to default Press “Reset to default” to restore the factory default QoS settings. Save changes Press “Save changes” to save and execute the modified QoS settings. Network ID This screen is used to set or change the network group ID.
Upgrade Device Selection From drop-down list, select the device you want to configure. Reboot Device Press “Reboot Device” to reset the node, which will restore the initial factory configuration. Firmware Upgrade Click “Firmware Upgrade,” then locate the two firmware files (PIB file *.pib and firmware file *.nvm). When the confirmation windows display, click “Yes” to start the upgrade or “No” to abort it. About This screen displays important reference information.
troubleshooting When you initially plug in and turn on the power to a PowerLine adapter, the Power LED should light. After approximately 10 seconds, the PowerLine LED should also light, and the Ethernet LED should blink. If the Power LED fails to light: • If the AC power outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the switch is in the On position. • Verify that the wall socket is live. To do this, disconnect the PowerLine adapter and plug in another electrical product.
