The Gefen Ethernet Over PLC

Send RJ-45 Ethernet signals over power lines in the walls of your home with the GefenTV Ethernet Over Power Line Bridge. The Bridge's sender and receiver units send Ethernet through the walls of a building at a distance of up to 1000 feet.

Ideal for tough installations where running CAT5/CAT6 cable is not possible, these devices breathe new life into remote network extensions.

How It Works

Connect your Ethernet network cables to the GefenTV Ethernet Over Power Line Bridge Sender unit, then plug the Bridge's Sender into a nearby power outlet. At the desired reception area in another room, plug the Bridge's Receiver into a power outlet. Power cycle your equipment and you will now receive network signals at your remote destination as if you had cabled the run with Ethernet cables.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE GEFENTV ETHERNET OVER PLC

• This device passes all 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network protocols (TCP/IP, NETBUEI, Microsoft Networking, etc.) at speeds of up to 200Mbps (Full duplex fast Ethernet).
• All devices connected to the sending and receiving nodes must be on the same power phase to communicate properly.
• Multiple receiving nodes can be used on the same in-house power line system to extend the network to multiple locations.
• Performance of GefenTV Ethernet Over PLC can be affected by “noisy” devices on the power lines. This can be alleviated by using a PLC filter (Part# GTV-PLC-FUS for US and GTV-PLC-FEU for Europe). Offending devices need to be connected to the PLC filter before being connected to the wall outlet.

To quickly setup the Gefen TV Ethernet Over PLC for secure use, the Automatic Security Configuration Mode (ASCM) can be activated on each node. Follow the below steps to automatically setup a secure connection between multiple nodes.

It is important to understand these concepts before proceeding with the Automatic Security Configuration.

• Master Node (Fixed Access Point) - The Master node is the unit that all of the Slave nodes use to copy the Net ID and Encryption Key from. Because all of the nodes on a network need to have the same Net ID and encryption key to operate properly together, there needs to be a single Master node that stores the information that all other Slave nodes will use to properly configure themselves. A Master node is indicated by its Power LED glowing a solid RED color. It is recommended to have only one Master node on the PLC network.
• Slave Node (Normal) - A node in this mode will be indicated by its Power LED glowing a solid Blue color. Multiple Slave nodes can be on the same PLC network.
• Automatic Security Configuration Mode (ASCM) - This mode is initialized by pressing and holding the Security/Reset button on the front panel for approximately 2 seconds. Once the node's Power LED begins flashing RED, release the button. This mode lasts for approximately 30 seconds and will return to normal operation after this time period.
• Both the Master and Slave nodes must be in ASCM for the automatic procedure to complete successfully.
• When a Slave node initializes ASCM, it will first attempt to find a Master node in ASCM. If a Master node in ASCM is not found, it will assume the role of the Master node. To avoid accidentally setting a Slave node as a Master node, make sure that the Master node is in ASCM when activating a Slave's ASCM.
• Any Slave node that assumes the role of a Master node will automatically have a random ASCII Net ID and Encryption Key generated.
• Connect the computer with the installed Gefen TV Config Tool software to the node that you wish to initially set as the Master node.
• If a node is connected to media server or router, it is recommended that this node be set as the Master node for increased performance.

Please refer to the next page for step by step instructions on how to activate the Automatic Security Configuration feature for the Gefen TV Ethernet Over PLC nodes.

1. Connect the computer with the installed Gefen TV software to the node you wish to set as the Master node.
2. Press and hold the Security/Reset button on the node (ASCM), located on the front panel, for approximately 2 seconds. The Power LED should begin to flash RED, then release the button.
3. After approximately 30 seconds, the Power LED should stop flashing and glow solid RED. This indicates that it is now a Master node. If this node was a Slave node (normal node) before this process, it will now have a randomly generated ASCII Net ID and Encryption Key set.
4. Open the Gefen TV Config Tool (page 12). There should be a random ASCII value as the Net ID. If you wish to use this Net ID for the other Slave nodes, proceed to step 5. Otherwise, you can now set your own Net ID and encryption password which will be applied to all of the Slave nodes in the next step. To do this, click on the local "ETH connected node" MAC address and press the next button. Change only the Net ID and encryption password fi elds and click on the next button. Once the local node has been updated, proceed to step 5.
5. For this step to complete successfully, both the Master and Slave nodes have to be in ASCM. To do this, press and hold the Security/Reset button on the Master node for approximately 2 seconds. The Power LED should begin flashing RED. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the Security/Reset button on the Slave node(s) for 2 seconds to enter ASCM. The Slave node's Power LED should also begin to flash while it receives the Net ID and Encryption Key information from the Master node. Once the Power LED on both the Master and Slave nodes stop flashing and glow solid, the setup will be complete. Check this by opening the Gefen TV Config Tool and seeing that all nodes have the same Net ID.

NOTE: If the Slave nodes are located at a great distance from the Master node, it is recommended that Step 5 be repeated for each Slave node separately. The window that each device remains in ASCM is only 30 seconds, and it may not be possible to put all Slave nodes in the ASCM within the time frame. It is also possible to temporarily relocate the Slave nodes to a PLC port closer to the Master node for this configuration process, and then move them to their permanent location after this process is complete. If a Slave node is accidentally set as a Master node, you can hard reset the node by pressing and holding the Security/Reset button for approximately 10 seconds. This will revert the node to a Slave node and reset all internal configurations to factory settings.

There are optional advanced settings that can be configured for each node. The advanced menu can be accessed directly through the main configuration page. Click on the MAC address of the node you wish to configure and click on the advanced button to the left of the node listing.

QOS (quality of service) prioritization. Rule 1 will be applied to all packets first and then Rule 2. Prioritization protocols are:

1. UDP is high priority, TCP is low priority
2. TCP is high priority, UDP is low priority
3. UDP port XXXX is high priority, the rest is low priority
4. UDP port XXXX is low priority, the rest is high priority
5. TCP port XXXX is high priority, the rest is low priority
6. TCP port XXXX is low priority, the rest is high priority
7. Use 802.1p prioritization
8. No prioritization
