Introduction

Electrical environment information

HD-PLC adaptors communicate with each other using the existing electrical

wiring in your home, and may be affected by electrical noise or the length of

your home’s wiring. Keep the following in mind when placing each adaptor.

AC outlets

For best results, we recommend connecting the adaptors directly to a wall

outlet. Avoid connecting high power-consuming appliances to the same wall

outlet. Additionally, connecting an adaptor to a uninterruptable power supply

(UPS) or backup power supply device is not recommended.

While connecting the adaptors to a wall outlet is recommended, keep the

following in mind if you must connect an adaptor to a power strip:

• Make sure the power strip does not have a noise filter or a surge

protector, as these features may interfere with the performance of

your adaptors.

• Do not connect the adaptor to a power strip that receives power from

another power strip.

• Use a power strip with an AC cord that is as short as possible.

Electrical interference

Certain electrical devices emit electrical noise. If this noise is passed on to

the electrical wiring in your home, it may interfere with the performance,

speed, and reliability of your adaptors. For best results, we recommend

connecting an electrical noise filter to noise emitting appliances.

The following appliances are more likely to produce noise:

• Battery chargers (including cell phone chargers)

• AC adaptors (including AC adaptors for modems, routers, notebook

computers, etc.)

• Hair dryers

• Vacuum cleaners

• Lights or lamps which have a dimmer switch or a touch-sensitive

on/off feature

• Power drills

Additionally, this product may interfere with the following appliances:

• Short wave radios

• Lights or lamps which have a touch-sensitive on/off feature

• Wireless devices (including wireless mice, etc.)

Introduction

Electrical wiring

HD-PLC adaptors communicate with each other using the existing electrical

wiring in your home. If 2 wall outlets are separated by a great length of

electrical wiring, the adaptors connected to those outlets may not be able to

communicate with each other.

For more information, refer to the troubleshooting section (see page 19) or

access the Panasonic PLC Support Site at:

http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/plc/

After you have placed the adaptors where you plan to use them and plugged

them into the wall outlets, test the terminal’s network speed (see page 15).

Introduction

Security information

1. With any network connection, security is a concern. The BL-PA300A

provides security to prevent unauthorized access to your network.

• Only terminals that are registered to the master adaptor can

communicate with the network.

• A terminal may be registered to the master only if the SETUP

buttons on the master and terminal are pressed within 3 seconds

of each other.

2. Datasentandreceivedoverthe HD-PLC networkemploysAES128-bit

encryption, however we cannot guarantee that data will not be

intercepted by a third party.

3. For security, reset your adaptors (see page 18) in the following

situations.

• If you are concerned that another adaptor may have been

accidentally registered to your master (for example, the adaptor

of someone who lives in the same apartment building as you),

reset each of your adaptors and register them again.

• If you discard an adaptor, give an adaptor to someone else to

use, or send an adaptor for servicing, reset the adaptor first.

• Ifyoulosean adaptor, resetyourremaining adaptors andregister

them again.

4. The adaptor does not have a firewall feature. To prevent unauthorized

external access to the network, we recommend performing the

following steps.

• Setup security measures for the router and computers accessing

the network.

• Change the default password on the Adaptor Maintenance

Screen.

Refer to the Panasonic PLC Support Site

(http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/plc/) for information

about changing the default password.

Introduction

Security notices for when sending an adaptor

for service

Please note the following when sending an adaptor for servicing.

• Reset the adaptor before sending it for servicing.

• After your master adaptor is serviced, you must register all your

terminals to the master again.

• After a terminal adaptor is serviced, you must register the

terminal to the master again.
