Video Network Setups

•Public Network - This is the default configuration of an In-Home network. If you do not want to change the settings on your network, the network configuration protocol will configure all the adapters automatically. By default, all adapters are EPs and have a public (empty) network ID. If the protocol does not detect an AP in the channel, it will change an EP to act as an AP. All EPs will connect directly to the automatic AP if they can, or to an EP that will act as a repeater. Then the network will be established.

•Private Network - To configure a private network (to ensure data privacy), a network ID must be assigned to all adapters on the network using the configuration tool. It is recommended to configure a fixed AP (for example the adapter with the video server or Internet access). If the fixed AP is

turned off or is not defined, the network configuration protocol will select an EP to change to function as an AP (automatic), in order to configure the network.

4.2.1 Single-Network Scenarios

The following two sections show examples of a single In-Home AV network.

The picture below shows a simple PLC (Powerline) network where two wall mount adapters are used to make a local area connection available to all outlets of the house. This is the simplest type of network, where no QoS (Quality of Service) configuration is required.
