Adapter Configuration
Corinex AV200 Powerline Ethernet Adapter
3.4.3.2 Network Configuration
Your Corinex AV200 Powerline Adapter can be configured to use either DHCP
(automatic IP address assignment), or a fixed IP.
The following parameters are used by the fixed IP configuration. In order for the
adapter to correctly communicate with other devices on the network, it is necessary
to define a valid IP address, as well as a proper subnet mask and gateway address.
These parameters will be saved in the adapter’s memory and activated at the next
restart.
After changing any of these parameters, click “OK” to save your changes.
Note: Any change in the Network Settings requires a restart of the adapter
to take effect.
Note: If you forget the IP address of the device, please recover it with the
utility “getIP,” which is located on the Documentation CD, or download it
from the Corinex website at www.corinex.com.
3.4.4 PHY Configuration
By default, the adapter transmits over a frequency range anywhere from 2 to 32
MHz, and when an access network is detected, the adapter transmits over a range
from 13.3 to 33.3 MHz, in order to avoid interference. This mode change is done
automatically and cannot be configured by the user. It is only possible to enable or
disable this “notches” function. The notches pre-defined in the adapter correspond
to the IARU (International Amateur Radio Union) band plan for each world region.
If the adapter is operating in an environment where it can cause interference to a
HAM radio receiver, it is recommended to enable notches, in order to block the
Powerline signal from the frequency bands used by radio amateurs.
