DeWalt AV200 Advanced Configuration, MAC Configuration, Adapter Configuration, Input methods

Adapter Configuration

If you want to enable 3DES encryption in your network, please select one of the input methods and enter the password.

Input methods:

ASCII	If ASCII is selected, the Encryption Key
	string can have up to 24 non-extended
	ASCII characters. Quote and double-
	quote characters are not supported.
	Extended ASCII characters are not
	supported.
HEX	On the other hand, if HEX mode is
	selected, the Encryption Key string can
	have up to 42 hexadecimal digits (for
	example 34AE4F54B38D). This HEX
	method is more secure than ASCII.

The Corinex AV200 Wall Mount Adapter supports also the stronger AES encryption. In order to enable it, please select AES from the menu and enter the password.

19

Note: If you decide to use the AES encryption, please make sure all powerline adapters in your network are capable of using this type of encryption and it is enabled on all devices. If some devices are not capable of AES encryption, and it is turned on, communication will not be possible between the devices with AES encryption and devices without it.

3.4.3 Advanced Configuration

The advanced configuration section is divided into several subsections, which are described here.

3.4.3.1 MAC Configuration

The following parameters relate to the physical network setup, or topology. The current firmware version (Spirit 4.2.68 at the time of this publication) supports only one topology: In-Home AV. In this In-Home AV topology, two different adapter types can be configured, setting an adapter to function as either an Automatic EP/AP (End Point or Access Point, depending on the other adapters in the network) or a Fixed AP (assigned Access Point). Section 4 (In-Home AV Network Topology) contains more information about the available network topologies.
