[. . . ] System Requirement a) At least two AC 100V ~ 240V power outlets with standard home power wiring b) A computer with the following: Operating System with TCP/IP installed Pentium III compatible processor and above Ethernet LAN card installed with TCP/IP protocol 64 MB RAM or more 50 MB of free disk space (Minimum) CD-ROM Drive B. Package Contents The 200Mbps Ethernet Powerline Adapter package contains the following items: One Ethernet Powerline Adapter. One Quick Installation Guide One CD-ROM (Utility / Manual / Quick Installation Guide/Acrobat Reader) If any of the above items are damaged or missing, please contact your dealer immediately. . 1 TL-PA2010KIT0KIT 200Mbps Ethernet Powerline Adapter Chapter 2 Connecting Mechanism 2. 1 Introduction The Ethernet Powerline Adapter support up to 200Mbps data rate. With this high speed connection rate, this Ethernet Powerline Adapter allows you to setup a high speed home network by using your home existing electrical wiring. Simply plug this Ethernet Powerline Adapter into an ordinary power outlet to extend your Cable/xDSL broadband connection or existing LAN network to any other electrical outlet in any rooms of your house. You need to plug one Ethernet Powerline Adapter into a power outlet for each computer (Connect to the computer LAN card) you want to connect (Network access); you will also need another Ethernet Powerline Adapter connected to your Cable/xDSL broadband (Ethernet port) in order to extend your broadband connection or Internet surfing. Section below describes the Ethernet Powerline Adapter's LED indicators, physical interface and hardware connection mechanism. 2. 2 LED Indicator The LED indicator displays information about the device's status. Label Status ON Description Another powerline port is detected on the same powerline network Did not detect any other powerline port on the same powerline network The powerline port is transmitting/receiving data The Ethernet Powerline Adapter is power on The Ethernet Powerline Adapter is not receiving power The Ethernet port is on and ready to receiving/transmitting data The Ethernet port is not connected or not power on The Ethernet port is receiving/transmitting data Powerline OFF Blinking Power ON OFF ON Ethernet OFF Blinking 2 TL-PA2010KIT0KIT OFF HP 1. 0 DET Blinking 200Mbps Ethernet Powerline Adapter Did not detect any HomePlug 1. 0 device on the same powerline network Another HomePlug 1. 0 device is detected on the same powerline network 2. 3 Physical Interface There are two physical interfaces on this Ethernet Powerline Adapter. Interface Ethernet Power Plug Description One 10/100Mbps Ethernet port connected to PC LAN card or broadband device. Power Plug connected to any 100V ~ 240V AC power socket. 2. 4 Hardware Connection ­ Computer For those computers you wish to be networked by Ethernet Powerline Adapter, each of the computers must be properly connected with an Ethernet Powerline Adapter through an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. Following are the steps to properly connect the Ethernet Powerline Adapter to your computer: 1 Power off your PC or Notebook. 2 Connect the provided Ethernet (RJ-45) cable to the Ethernet Powerline Adapter's Ethernet port. 3 Connect the other end of the Ethernet (RJ-45) cable to you computer's LAN port. The dialog box allows you to enter both the selected device's name and password. Noted that the Ethernet Powerline Adapter must be present on the power grid in order to activate the set password and added to the local network. Enter your Device Name and Password (Take note to the password format) and click "OK" after setup. The following screen display after the naming and password setting process, which is also the Diagnostics configuration homepage. 11 TL-PA2010KIT0KIT 200Mbps Ethernet Powerline Adapter 4. 2 QOS The second tabbed window, labeled `QoS' for Quality of Service, is shown in Figure. QoS requirements are different for various data types such as streaming video or music, voice and raw data. To provide higher QoS for streaming data, priority levels can be set using tags at the beginning of data frames. Virtual Local Area Network (Vlan) 802. 1p priority tags on Ethernet frames are used to specify 8 (0~7) levels of `user priority'. Powerline AV powerline allows for 4 levels of Channel Access Priority (CAP(0-3)). Therefore, the 8 levels of VLAN Ethernet tags must be mapped to the 4 levels of CAP priority, where CAP 3 is the highest priority and CAP 0 is the lowest. CAP 3 priority might be used for voice and network management frames, CAP 2 is used for streaming video-and must while CAP 1 can CAP 0 are used for data. Mapping VLAN tags or TOS bits to CAP levels is easily done using the VLAM Priority Mapping function on the QoS tab window. The `Priority Mapping' group contains both VLAN and TOS Bit mapping capability. When selected, 12 TL-PA2010KIT0KIT 200Mbps Ethernet Powerline Adapter packages matching the VLAN or TOS Bit priority will be assigned the Powerline contention priority (channel Access Priority, CAP) as set in the corresponding dropdown box. [. . . ] For the powerline adapters to communicate with each other they all need to use the same Network Membership Key (NMK). Otherwise, they cannot unscramble the encrypted data sent in the powerline network. The Pair button allows you to set up a secure powerline connection with other HomePlug AV compliant powerline devices which also support the Pair feature. 5. 2 Set Up a Powerline AV Network with the Pair button You can connect a number of devices on a powerline network, but you can use the Pair button on only two devices at a time. Create a Powerline network using the Pair button Step 1. After you set up the Powerline adapter A, you have 120 seconds to set up the Powerline adapter B. [. . . ]
