FEATURE

DESCRIPTION

Powerline Functionality

The HomePlug AV standard specifies how network devices

 

communicate using standard electrical wiring.

 

It supports a data transfer rate of up to 200Mbps.

 

Data is encrypted using 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).

 

HomePlug AV compatible devices co-exist with HomePlug 1.0 devices

 

but do not detect each other.

 

The range of a HomePlug AV network is 300 meters/984 feet in optimal

 

conditions.

 

HomePlug AV is compatible with all OSs.

 

The maximum number of devices connected (bridged) to single

 

powerline adapter is 64.

 

The maximum number of powerline devices on a single network is 64.

 

The maximum number of powerline networks on a single electrical circuit

 

is 4.

 

HomePlug AV devices using version 3.0.5 firmware cannot

 

communicate with earlier version firmware.

 

 

Encryption
