2.2 Push Button/Reset hole

The right-hand side on the device contains the push button and reset hole for the easy data

encryption/synchronization and reset to the default factory’ settings: .

NMK (Network Membership Key) button

Implements the one-button security configuration and synchronization

please see “2.4 Forming a HomePlug AV Logical Network” for further information.

Reset: (Reset hole for restore the factory default settings)

The Reset button restores the factory default settings in the adapter. You can use a small

paper clip to insert into the rest hole and hold for more than 3 seconds to active the reset

behavior.

2.3 Installing your HomePlug AV Ethernet Adapters

Connect the one end of the Ethernet cable provided in the package to the first PLC

adapter’s Ethernet port.

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to PC’s Ethernet port.

Plug the adapter’s power plug into your power socket.

Repeat the step1 for the second PLC adapter and connect the other end of Ethernet

cable to the LAN port of your ADSL router/Cable modem and repeat the step 3..

You can see the Figure 10 in Chapter 7 for this connection reference

e strongly recommend you

directly plug this device into standalone power

outlet, avoid connecting this device to an uninterruptible power supply ( PS),

or connecting same power strip with other AC adapter/Power charger etc

because of this device transferring data using existing electrical wiring in your

home and the data transmission throughput performance probably be affected

by electrical noises, although this HomePlug AV Powerline adapter can

overcome/reduce the noise interference. These electrical noises equipments

are most like: Battery Charger / Hair Dryers / Halogen

light.

HomePlug AV Ethernet Adapter User’s Manual

2.4 Forming a HomePlug AV Logical Network

By default, HP200SA64 come without a network identifier and encryption key. When you plug

two Powerline devices into electrical outlet, It will operate normally but without security

configuration.

The Network Membership Key (NMK) uniquely identifies a Private Network, the HomePlug

AV Logical Network (AVLN). Devices that share the same NMK will form a logical network

when connected to common Powerline media. This permits multiple logical networks to exist

on the same connection. Individual devices can join or leave a specific logical network by

changing NMK. In order to form a HomePlug AV Logical Network between two adapters are

as following 3 steps: (see figure 1.)

1. Press the NMK button on the first device for less than 3 seconds.

2. Press the NMK button on the second device for less than 3 seconds.

3. Wait for connection to complete within 1 minute.

During the configuration process, the Power LED on each device flashes evenly at one

second intervals until the operation succeeds or fails. If an error occurs, the Power LED on

the “adder” flashes unevenly until the pushbutton on the “adder” is pressed again or the

“joiner” is reset by pressing and holding the pushbutton for more than 10 seconds.

The ‘adder’ is the device that gives an NMK to another device. The ‘joiner’ is the device that

takes an NMK from another device. The role of ‘adder’ or ‘joiner’ is determined automatically

by each device when the Simple Connect button is pressed. A device that belongs to an

existing logical network will become an ‘adder’. A device that does not belong to a powerline

network will become a ‘joiner’. Only one ‘adder’ and one ‘joiner’ can participate in any join

operation.

2.5 Joining & leaving the Powerline network

[Joining a Powerline network]

When both HP200SA64 adapters already on an existing AVLN and you want a new device

(“joiner”) to join the network, please following these steps below:

1. Press the pushbutton on the ‘joiner’ for less than 3 seconds.

2. Press the pushbutton on any network device for less than 3 seconds, making it the ‘adder’.

You have 1 minute, by default, to press this pushbutton.

3. Wait for connection to complete

The Power LED on both devices will flash at 1-second intervals until the process succeeds

or fails. It will illuminate steadily on success. If an error occurs, the Power LED on the

‘adder’ will flash unevenly until the pushbutton on the ‘adder’ is pressed again or the

‘joiner’ is reset by pressing the pushbutton for more than 10 seconds, as described in

Figure 2.

Figure2. oin the Powerline network

[Leaving a Powerline network]

Press the Simple Connect pushbutton on the device for longer than 10 seconds. Wait a few

seconds for the device to reset and leave the network:

1. Press the pushbutton on the ‘leaver’ for at least 10 seconds. The device will reset and

restart with a random NMK.

2. Wait for reset to complete.

[Join Multiple Devices to a Network]

To add several new devices to an existing network, the process in joining a Powerline

network process must be repeated for each ‘joiner’. This lets you press the ‘adder’

pushbutton once then press each ‘joiner’ pushbutton in turn. If pushbuttons are pressed on

two or more joiners, only the first one will respond. The second will not. This makes timing

important.

The oin operation can be cancelled by pressing the Simple Connect pushbutton on

the first device again, for less than 3 seconds, instead of pressing the pushbutton on

the second device. If you press pushbuttons on three or more devices, only the first

two will respond. The others will not.

running the utility

4.1 ser Interface

4. . Main Tab

The Main screen provides a list of all Powerline devices logically connected to the computer

when the utility is running. The top panel shows all local HomePlug devices connected to the

computer’s NIC (Network Interface Card). In most cases, only one device will be seen. In

situations where there are more than one local device being connected, such as a USB or an

Ethernet adapter, the user can select the local device by clicking on it and then click the

Connect button to its right. The status area above the button indicates that your PC is

connected to that same device. Once connected to the local device, the utility will

automatically scan the power line periodically for any other HomePlug devices. If no local

HomePlug devices are discovered, the status area above the connect button will indicate with

a message ‘NO HOMEPL G ADAPTERS DETECTED’.

The bottom panel displays all the HomePlug remote devices, discovered on the current

logical network. The total number of remote devices connected on the same network can be

found on top of the Remote device panel. The Network type (Public or Private) is also

displayed based on the network status of the local device. The scan status option is displayed

on the top right corner above the Remote devices panel showing whether the Auto scan

functionality is turned ON or OFF. The following information is displayed for all devices that

appear in the bottom panel.
