Frequently Asked Questions - NetPower 302 AV ATLANTIS-LAND

How to install the NetPower 302 AV adapter?

Plug each adapter into a wall power socket (avoid extension cords). Connect one adapter to your router using the provided RJ45 cable, and the other to your PC or device. The Power, PLC and Ethernet LEDs should light up on both adapters. No driver is required for basic communication.

What to do if the PLC LED does not light up?

The PLC LED indicates the connection between adapters. If it remains off, check that both adapters are plugged into the same electrical network and that they use the same network password (default 'HomePlugAV'). Briefly press the SYNC button on each adapter to pair them.

How to change my Powerline network password?

Install the configuration utility provided on the CD (Windows). Launch the utility, select the adapter, click 'Enter Password' to enter the current password, then use the 'Security' tab to set a new network name (password). All adapters must share this same password.

Can I use the adapter on an extension cord or power strip?

It is strongly discouraged to use an extension cord or power strip, as they may attenuate the signal and reduce speed. Always plug the adapter directly into a wall socket.

What is the maximum speed of the adapter?

The NetPower 302 AV offers a theoretical maximum data rate of 200 Mbps using HomePlug AV technology. Actual speed depends on the electrical network quality, distance, and interference.

How many adapters can I connect on the same electrical network?

You can connect up to 16 HomePlug AV adapters on the same electrical network, provided they use the same network password. Each adapter must be plugged into a different socket.

What to do if the speed is low or unstable?

Check that the adapters are plugged directly into wall sockets, keep them away from devices generating interference (fluorescent lamps, halogens, motors). Reduce the distance between adapters. If necessary, change the network password to avoid neighbor interference.

How to reset the adapter to factory settings?

Use a paperclip or pen to press the Reset button (hole) for 10 to 15 seconds. The LEDs will blink, then the adapter will reboot with the default password 'HomePlugAV'.

Is the adapter compatible with Windows 10?

The manual mentions Windows 2000, XP and Vista. However, the adapter uses standard TCP/IP protocol and does not require a driver for basic function (bridge). The configuration utility may not be compatible with Windows 10, but the adapter should work without it.

Where can I find the complete user guide?

The complete guide is available on the provided CD or for download on the Atlantis website (www.atlantis-land.com). The manual includes sections on installation, configuration, troubleshooting and precautions.

Thank You for choosing an Atlantis Product. For more detailed instructions on configuring and using the +Power AV, please refer to this manual.

1. Introduction

+Power 502 AV utilizes the existing electrical wiring in the house as a path to create a secured network of computers and Ethernet devices. With a maximum data rate of up to 500 Mbps, +Power 502 AV can reliably handle high requirement applications like broadband Internet, high definition video streaming, and Voice over IP.

IEEE1901/HomePlug AV converts digital signals to a complex analog signal that traverses along the electrical wires. When receiving the analog signal, IEEE1901/HomePlug AV converts the analog signal back to digital. To make the signal secured, a 128-bit AES encryption is applied.

A IEEE1901/HomePlug AV device can only communicate with other IEEE1901/HomePlug AV devices that use the same Private Network Name. The Private Network Name can be changed manually using the Utility software on a computer with a Windows operating system. When you use the software, you have to manually type the Private Network Name for the device. Another way to change the Private Network Name is to use the Simple Connect button SYNC (this feature automatically creates an encrypted Private Network Name). It can also be used to reset the Private Network Name or to add a device into an existing IEEE1901/HomePlug AV network.

No power outlet goes to waste (due to the integrated electrical socket) and the embedded mains filter ensures the best possible data transmission (+Power 552P AV).

When a IEEE1901/HomePlug AV communicates with another device, the Powerline Activity LED will give you an idea about the status.

+Power 302AV utilizes the existing electrical wiring in the house as a path to create a secured network of computers and Ethernet devices. With a maximum data rate of up to 200 Mbps

3. System Requirements

+Power AV is applicable with all TCP/IP operating systems with Ethernet port. Drivers are not required for this adapter. But the supplied Configuration Utility software to assign the network password operates only with Windows operating systems.

Your computer must meet the following requirements in order to use the PowerLine HD Ethernet Adapter Configuration Utility. Another way to change the Private Network Name is to use the Simple Connect button (SYNC).

3.1 System Required for Utility

• Windows 2000, Windows XP or Vista/7 with Ethernet connection
• Pentium III 600 MHz MMX-Compatible PC or greater
• At least 256MB hard disk space and memory
  • .NET Framework

Your computer or the device to which you want to connect the Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter must have an Ethernet port, i.e. a network card or a network adapter.

4. Device Design

+Power AV has 3 lights indicator (LEDs), 2 buttons and an Ethernet port:

Two Atlantis power cord controllers shown side by side, no visible text or symbols on the devices themselves.

	it is detached completely from any possible network group.
RESET	Press this button to for more than 10-15 seconds to reset device to factory default settings. You will see the device's all LEDs are off an restart. The device's setting resets to the "factory defaults".

Do not plug the device into a power strip or surge protector because these devices may consist of filter and impair signal. Also avoid plugging the device right next to noisy sources such as cell phon charger, Halogen light, Energy saving bulb, noisy desktop computer vacuum cleaner, etc. Both cases result in poor transmission speed.

The "PWR" LED indicator will blink in standby mode. It will automatically get into standby mode, if the Ethernet-link is lost for 60 seconds. If you unplug the Ethernet cable, it will get into standby mode after 60 seconds. Under standby mode, PLC and ETH LEDs will both be off.

For a device which already belongs to a network group is to join with a different network group, that device has to be ungrouped from its current attached group first. Press the Sync Button of device A for 8-10 seconds to make sure that it is detached completely from any possible network group.

Due to the incompatibility of HomePlug AV 200 with HomePlug 1. devices, the presence of the HomePlug 1.0 devices within the powerline network will thus reduce the performance of your powerline network.

No power outlet goes to waste (due to the integrated electrical socket) and the embedded mains filter ensures the best possible data transmission (+Power 552P AV).

5. Hardware Installation

• Plug the Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter into an AC outlet (Do not plug device into a power strip or surge protector).
• Plug one end of an ETHERNET cable into the Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter and plug the other end to a PC or device.
• Plug the second Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter into an AC outlet (Do not plug device into a power strip or surge protector).
• Option: Now create a secure network by a simply push off the network SYNC button.

IF PLC LED is lit off there is a problem. Please verify the distance, remove strip, and verify the network password.

6. SYNC Button

Sync Button is used to add a HomePlug device to a Powerline network or enable it to join a network by pressing the Sync Button of the device to turn it into Broadcast state or Join state.

There are 3 types of Sync Button trigger states:

• Broadcast State: Enable +Power AV device to provide information for another +Power AV device to join its powerline network group (works even if it is the only device existing within the network group).
• Join State: This allows an ungrouped +Power AV device to join an existing powerline network group.
• Ungroup State: Press the SYNC Button for 8-10 seconds to detach the device from its network group.

6.1 Application Scenarios

Scenario 1: A +Power AV device A wants to form a network group with another +Power AV device B. You can assign whichever device (A or B) to be in the Broadcast State and the other in the Join State.

Example:

• Press the Sync Button of device A for 1\~3 seconds to turn it into Broadcast State, you should find the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Broadcast state.
• Press the Sync Button of device B for 1\~3 seconds to turn it into Join State, you should find the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Join state.
• Wait for both devices to boot again (all LEDs will turn off and on) and when the PLC LEDs of both devices lit steadily, you will now have these devices being in the same network group.

Scenario 2: A +Power AV device wants to join an existing network group

BC. Device A wants to join a network group "BC" currently consisting of device B and device C. Any devices within the "BC" group can become the "Broadcast State" and device A will be the "Join State".

Example:

• Press the Sync Button of device A for 8-10 seconds to make sure that it is detached completely from any possible network group.
• Press the Sync Button of device B or C of the BC network group for 1\~3 seconds to turn it into Broadcast State, you should find the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Broadcast state.

Atlantis

• Press the Sync Button of device A for 1\~3 seconds to turn it into Join State, you should find the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Join state.
• Wait for the devices to boot again and when the PLC LEDs of both devices lit steadily, you will now have device A joined with the BC network group.

Scenario 3: A +Power AV device A of network group AD wants to join an existing network group BC. For a device which already belongs to a network group is to join with a different network group, that device has to be ungrouped from its current attached group first.

Example:

• Press the Sync Button of device A for 8-10 seconds to ungroup it from network group AD.
• Then press the Sync Button of device (B or C) of network group BC for 1\~3 seconds to turn it to Broadcast State, you should find the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Broadcast state.
• Press the Sync Button of device A again for 1\~3 seconds to turn it to Join State, you should find the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Join state.
• Wait for the Sync LED of both devices A and (B or C) lit steadily. Now you will have device A join the network group BC.

8. APPENDIX A: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use IEEE1901/HomePlug AV with older HomePlug versions?

All IEEE1901/HomePlug AV versions can communicate with each other. HomePlug AV, however, is not backward compatible with HomePlug 1.0 releases.

If you will use different versions of HomePlug AV in a single network, you need to use the PLC Utility Utility software to create a Private Network Name for all devices. Unlike the new version of IEEE1901/HomePlug AV, older versions do not feature the Simple Connect button which enables the device to create a common Private Network Name without using the software.

How does HomePlug AV achieve a higher bandwidth than HomePlug Turbo and HomePlug 1.0 devices?

HomePlug AV complies with the HomePlug AV standard. It achieves higher data throughput by using a broader frequency spectrum (2-30 MHz rather than 4-21 MHz), by using a better access method (Time Division Multiple Access rather than Car Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection), and by using a better processor with greater bitload per Hz.

IEEE1901 achieves higher data throughput by using a broader frequency spectrum (2-68 MHz rather than 2-30 MHz used in HomePlug AV).

Can IEEE1901/HomePlug AV be used alongside HomePlug 1.0 devices within the network?

HomePlug 1.0 and HomePlug AV standards can coexist but they will not be able communicate with each other.

Which operating system (OS) is compatible with HomePlug AV?

IEEE1901/HomePlug AV is operating system independent. However, the IEEE1901/HomePlug AV Utility requires a Windows operating system (98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista/7) with the .NET Framework installed.

How difficult is it to set up a network with IEEE1901/HomePlug AV?

+Power is a plug and play device. Connect it to an Ethernet device, plug it to a wall socket, and it is ready to use. Even the most inexperienced user can set up the network with ease. Installing the PLC Utility software is only needed if you intend to manually change the Private Network Name or view the connection rate.

How many devices do I need to create a HomePlug AV network?

At least two devices are needed to create a HomePlug AV network.

Is HomePlug AV suitable for triple play like the simultaneous use of data, voice, and video applications?

Yes, triple play is supported.

What data transfer rates do I need for high definition TV?

A variety of HDTV resolutions are available. The following are the most common resolutions opposite the required transfer rate:

• 720p, mpeg2: 09-10 Mbps
• 720p, mpeg4: 06-08 Mbps
• 1080i, mpeg2: 12-15 Mbps
• 1080i, mpeg4: 08-10 Mbps

Does IEEE1901/HomePlug AV have a security mechanism?

Yes. HomePlug AV uses 128-bit AES encryption.

Are Gigabit Ethernet adapters required for use with IEEE1901/HomePlug AV?

No. Under ideal conditions, IEEE1901/HomePlug AV has a physical gross data rate of up to 500 Mbps. The effective net data rate is somewhat lower. A 100 Mbps Ethernet adapter is therefore adequate in most cases.

Does the technology support multicast video server streams (IP-TV)?

Yes.

Do I need an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) for HomePlug AV?

No. HomePlug AV can operate in an environment using 100-240V.

How many HomePlug AVs can operate in one household?

Up to 8 devices can be used within the household.

What is the maximum range of HomePlug AV?

The maximum range is 300 meters.

If one HomePlug AV is connected to a LAN switch, is it possible for other computers in the switch to communicate with other HomePlug AV devices?

Yes.

Atlantis

Can my neighbors access my HomePlug AV network?

Your electric meter prevents any signal from going outside your household. However, we strongly suggest that you create your own personalized Private Network Name to prevent unauthorized access into your network.

How much is the power consumption of IEEE1901/HomePlug on a 230-volt power supply?

HomePlug AV has a power consumption of 3,96Watts (0.5 W in IDLE mode).

Can I use IEEE1901/HomePlug AV to connect computers located in different floors of the building?

Yes, as long as the electric wires are connected and do not exceed 200/300 meters.

If one IEEE1901/HomePlug AV is connected to a LAN switch, is it possible for other computers in the switch to communicate with other HomePlug AV devices?

Yes.

Can I use IEEE1901/HomePlug AV in an old house with old power supply lines (partly without separated ground wire)?

Yes. However, performance may be affected because of the quality of the wires.

Can I plug IEEE1901/HomePlug AV into a multiple socket switch or do have to plug it directly to the wall socket?

You can plug HomePlug AV into a multiple socket switch. However, we strongly advise to plug it directly to a wall socket to achieve optimal performance.

Do I need electrical grounding for the device?

PLC does not require electrical grounding.

After a blackout, will HomePlug AV switch on automatically?

Yes. If you experience connection issues, unplug the device and plug it back.
