2.6 Testing the Setup
To verify that the connection over the electrical wires is working correctly, please use the
standard Ping utility.
• Ping the IP address of the computer to which the CableLAN adapter is
connected to. If this fails, there is a problem with the Ethernet network card.
• Repeat the same process with the other cable device on the network.
• If all nodes can ping themselves, try pinging another cable device on the
network. If this fails, there is a problem with connections on the cable. Try to
check the connection to the cable outlet or use a different cable outlet.
• If the setup does not work, refer to the troubleshooting guide, but first, try
unplugging the CableLAN device and reboot the computer as this sometimes
fixes the problem.
2.7 Running the Setup Tool
The setup so far allows the transmission of data, which is encrypted with a universal
key, which is build into the adapters by the manufacturer. To set private encryption keys
for the users personal network, the Setup Tool provided on the CD should be run and
reference should be made to section 3.1 for details. As soon as the user has chosen his
own encryption key, he has prevented anyone from intercepting transmitted data.
