Is it secure to send private data over these devices?

Yes. Data encryption is used to secure your data from prying eyes. For details, see “Specifications” on page 17.

How many devices can be assigned to a single group?

Because several powerline devices share the same electrical wiring (physical bandwidth), we recommend that a maximum of 10 powerline devices be connected on a single group. Data transfer speed slows as more powerline devices are connected.

Can these devices communicate with other brands of powerline devices?

Powerline devices using different powerline communication protocols may have difficulty communicating with each other, although they all can co-exist on same electrical wiring.

Your Rocketfish powerline devices are HomePlug AV compliant. They can communicate with any other HomePlug AV-compliant powerline device, regardless of brand.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The power indicator is off

Solution—Make sure that the device is plugged in to a powered outlet, not an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector.

Problem: The powerline link/activity indicator is off

Cause—The powerline devices can’t find each other.

Solution—Make sure that all powerline devices are plugged into powered outlets and that all are connected to the same powerline network group. If the problem occurred after you reconnected a device, reset the devices to the default settings and try again. For more information, see “Resetting a powerline device to factory defaults” on page 14.

Problem: The Ethernet link/activity indicator is off

Cause—The network contains no data traffic.

Solution—Make sure that:

•Your router is on.

•The Ethernet cable is connected between a powerline device’s Ethernet port and your router’s LAN port.
