Frequently Asked Questions - CS500PLCNK100 KONIG

How to install the Konig CS500PLCNK100 powerline adapter?

Plug the adapter directly into a wall outlet, then connect it to your router or device via the provided Ethernet cable. For a second adapter, plug it near the target device. The powerline network configures automatically.

How to pair two powerline adapters?

Press the Pair button on each adapter for 2 seconds (within 2 minutes). The powerline LED flashes then stays on to confirm the connection.

What to do if the powerline LED does not illuminate?

Check that the adapters are plugged into the same electrical installation and that the Pair button was used. If the issue persists, reset both adapters by pressing the Pair button for 10 seconds.

What is the maximum range of the powerline network?

The theoretical range is 300 meters on the indoor electrical network. Actual performance depends on wiring quality and interference.

Can I use the adapter with a power strip?

It is not recommended to use a power strip as it may reduce performance. Always plug the adapter directly into a wall outlet.

How to reset the adapter to factory settings?

Hold the Pair button for about 10 seconds until the LED flashes quickly. Release, the adapter restarts with factory settings.

What is the real speed of this adapter?

The theoretical speed is 500 Mbps, but in practice it can reach 200-250 Mbps depending on the electrical network quality and distance.

Is the adapter compatible with internet boxes?

Yes, it is compatible with all internet boxes that have an Ethernet port. No software configuration is needed.

How to improve my powerline connection speed?

Avoid power strips and extension cords, plug adapters directly into wall outlets. Keep them away from electrical devices that generate interference. Use adapters of the same HomePlug AV standard.

What to do if the adapter heats up?

Slight heat is normal. If the adapter becomes very hot, check that it is not covered or in a confined space. Unplug it and let it cool down. If the problem persists, contact support.

Chapter 1: HomePlug Power Line Installation

1.1 System Diagram

Add high-speed Internet access to any room in your home with this Nano HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridge. You can play HD movies, music, online multi-player games and much more.

Note: This Nano HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridge needs to pair with at least one other HomePlug AV compatible device in order to create a working system.

1.2 Casing details

Casing details / Status lights

The front of the device contains 3 types of status lights (see below)

Power

Light on: Power is on

Light off: Power is off

PLC link

The PLC (Power Line) link light will indicate the overall speed of your network with 3 colors.

Red: Minimum connection speed / weak signal with speed less than 50 Mbps

Orange: Normal signal with standard network speed between 50 – 100 Mbps

Green: Excellent signal strength with optimal network speed of 100 Mbps+ Off: No connection / No activity

Ethernet link

Solid green: 10/100 port linked

Off: Ethernet link not active

Bottom details

Security button

This function is designed to generate an individual HomePlug network group in a multi-node environment. Please refer to the "Individual HomePlug Network Setup" section below for more details.

Reset button

This function is used to clear all data and restore all settings to the factory default values.

Note: The HomePlug must be plugged in to restore all factory settings. Hold the Reset button until the status light begins to flash.

1.3 Initial setup

The CS500PLCN100 is a Plug-and-Play device. You can easily use the device without any complicated configurations and settings. You can also use the device to connect network devices like computers and game consoles directly. You can also connect devices like Blu-Ray Disc™ player to a router or modem for internet access.

Connect the HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridge to a computer or modem / router:

1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on the bottom of the HomePlug.
2. Plug the HomePlug into an AC wall power outlet near the device you want to connect to. (Note: Do not plug this HomePlug into a power strip that has surge protection. Doing so will degrade the power line performance. For best performance, plug the HomePlug directly into a wall outlet.)
3. To connect to a computer, plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into an available Ethernet port of your computer.
4. To connect to a modem / router, plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into an available Ethernet port of your modem / router.
5. Make sure that the PLC link light is solid green.
6. Your HomePlug is now connected in the network.

Chapter 2: Individual HomePlug AV Network Setup (optional)

Since all HomePlug units do have a default security key, they will automatically be linked to all other HomePlug units sharing the same electrical lines. If there are other HomePlug units in the building (such as in an office or apartment building), you may want to create your own individual HomePlug network group so that other HomePlug units cannot connect to your network. The section below describes how to use the security button for reconfiguration in some situations.

2.1 Creating a new individual HomePlug AV Network (Network AB)

Two unassociated HomePlug units (A and B) are forming a network.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug A for about 10 seconds. Release when the power light flashes. The password to HomePlug A has just been erased. It must be linked to your network to adopt the new network security key.
2. Do the same for HomePlug B.
3. Now, HomePlug A and B are now networked separately.
4. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug A for 2 seconds and then release.
5. The power light of bridge A starts to flash.
6. Within 120 seconds press and hold the security button on HomePlug B for 2 seconds and then release.
7. Both HomePlug A and B are now networked together.

2.2 Adding HomePlug C to an existing Network AB (Network ABC)

The procedure is as follows:

1. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug C for about 10 seconds. Release when the power light flashes. The password to HomePlug C has just been erased. It must be linked to your network to adopt the new network security key.
2. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug C for 2 seconds. The power light starts to flash.
3. Within 120 seconds, press and hold the security button on HomePlug C for 2 seconds and then release.
4. HomePlug A, HomePlug B and HomePlug C are now networked.

2.3 Removing HomePlug B from HomePlug A and C network and join HomePlug D and E (Network BDE)

The procedure is as follows:

1. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug B for about 10 seconds. Release when the power light flashes. The password to HomePlug B has just been erased and HomePlug B removes itself from HomePlug A and C.
2. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug D for 2 seconds. The power light starts to flash.
3. Within 120 seconds after the power light on HomePlug D starts to flash, press and hold the security button on HomePlug B for 2 seconds and then release.
4. HomePlug B and HomePlug D are now connected to each other. Therefore, together with HomePlug E, they will form the network BDE.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting & disclaimer

If your HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridge has difficulty communicating with each other, check the following:

• Try power cycling the unit by unplugging it from the wall socket for 10 seconds and plugging it in again. - Hold the Reset button on each HomePlug for 15 seconds and try to re-connect. The HomePlug's light will flash, and the HomePlug will be reset and attempt to link using the default factory settings. - Try plugging the HomePlug into an adjacent power outlet.

- The HomePlug works better when plugged directly into the wall power outlet. Connecting the HomePlug to a power strip or surge protector may degrade the network performance or completely stop network signals.

- This HomePlug should not be used in areas with excessive heat.

- Certain fluorescent or incandescent lights are noise sources for the electrical wiring and can degrade the performance.

- If your building has more than one circuit breaker box, your HomePlug may not be able to connect between the different circuit breaker boxes. In this case, connect one HomePlug to a power outlet located on each of the circuit boxes. Connect an Ethernet cable between each of the HomePlug units to link the different HomePlug together. This will allow the HomePlug units from different circuit breaker boxes to be connected.

- To enter standby mode, simply remove the Ethernet cable from the HomePlug and wait about 3 minutes.
