1.1 Introduction

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 200 Mbps, NetPower 301AV can reliably 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 encryption is applied.

A HomePlug AV device can only communicate with other HomePlug AV devices that use the same Private Network Name. The Private Network Name can be changed manually using the HomePlug AV Utility software on a computer with a Windows operating system. When you use the software, you have to manually type the Private Network Name for the device. Another way to change the Private Network Name is to use the Simple

Connect button . Simple Connect automatically creates an encrypted 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.

When a HomePlug AV communicates with another device, the Powerline

Activity LED color will give you an idea about the connection rate: red means below 40 Mbps; amber means 40 to 105 Mbps; and green means more than 105 Mbps.
