Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
wI can not connect to other computers on my powerline network or to the Internet.
A:Make sure the IP address and TCP/IP protocol are set up correctly for all the powerline networked computers.
wDo the PL-401E device cause interference with other home networking or products?
A:No. PL-401E can co-exist with phone line and wireless networking technologies. PL-401E operates in a different frequency band than powerline control and co-exist with technologies such as X-10, CEBus and LONworks.
wHow do the PL-401E devices handle signal interference between two adjacent homes? How is eavesdropping prevented?
A:PL-401E is using 56-bit DES security encryption to ensure network separation between homes. You can use PowerPacket configuration utility to enable and configure the security encryption on local or remote PL-401E in range.
