Frequently Asked Questions - 503273 IC Intracom

How to install the Powerline adapter?

Connect the adapter to your computer with the provided Ethernet cable, then plug it directly into a wall socket. Do not use a surge-protected power strip. The Power LED lights up if the power is correct.

Can I connect multiple adapters?

Yes, you can connect up to 16 Powerline HD adapters on the same electrical network. Each adapter must be plugged into a wall socket and connected to an Ethernet device.

How to secure my Powerline network?

Use the PowerPacket Utility software to set a network password. Go to the Privacy tab and change the default network name (password). All adapters must share the same password to communicate.

What to do if the adapter is not detected?

Check that the adapter is properly plugged in and the Power LED is on. Make sure the PowerPacket software is installed and the adapter is on the same electrical network. Try clicking on Scan in the Main tab.

What is the maximum transmission speed?

Speed can reach 200 Mbps under optimal conditions, but depends on the quality of the electrical wiring and distance. The software displays the current transfer rate in the Rate column.

Can I use the adapter with a router?

Yes, connect the adapter to a LAN port of the router with an Ethernet cable. If the router has only one port, use a crossover cable. The adapter can share internet access with other Powerline adapters.

How to update the firmware?

In the PowerPacket software, select the adapter in the Main tab and click on Upgrade Firmware. Make sure you have downloaded the latest version from the www.intellinet-network.com website.

Is the adapter compatible with older HomePlug models?

Yes, the 503273 adapter is compatible with HomePlug 1.0 and HomePlug Turbo devices. However, speed will be limited to that of the slowest device.

What do the LED indicators mean?

Power: on = power. Link/Act: on = Powerline connection established, blinking = searching for other devices, off = no device detected. Ethernet: on = Ethernet connection, blinking = activity, off = no connection.

How to recycle the adapter at end of life?

Do not dispose of it with household waste. In accordance with the WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC), return it to a local collection point or your retailer for proper recycling.

USER MANUAL 503273 IC Intracom

This guide presents the basic steps to set up and operate this device. For detailed instructions and specifications, refer to the user manual on the CD enclosed with this product or at www.intellinet-network.com.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

To connect the existing AC wiring in your home or office to the Ethernet network, this device can be attached to a LAN switch; however, each PC or server plugged into an AC outlet needs to be directly attached to its own PowerLine adapter.

1. Using the included Ethernet cable, connect the adapter to the computer.
2. Plug the adapter into an AC outlet. IMPORTANT: Because the adapter sends data over home or office AC power lines, plug it directly into an electrical outlet — not a universal power supply or power strip with surge protection. The adapter has its own power filter for protection against surges.

Using a Router

To connect the adapter to a router, disconnect the network cable from the PC and connect it to the uplink port of the router. If only a LAN port is available on the router, use a crossover cable to connect the adapter to the router.

CONFIGURATION UTILITY

After installing the adapter, run the Setup Wizard to install the PowerPacket Configuration Utility. Use this utility to check the PC's direct connection to the AC power network, to search for PowerLine devices on your network, and to set up security using a network password. NOTE: If you want the devices on your PowerLine network to share high-speed Internet access, connect the adapter to a router after you run the PowerPacket Configuration Utility (see above).

Utility Installation

1. Insert the included utility CD, then run the setup.exe program to begin the installation. (You can also run the setup program using the CD's autorun program.)
2. When the Welcome to the PowerPacket Utility Setup Wizard screen displays, click "Next."

1. When the Select Installation Folder screen displays, click "Browse" to select a folder other than the one in the "Folder" field, and click "Next."

1. When the Confirm Installation screen displays, click "Next"; when the Installation Complete screen displays, click "Close."

Accessing the PowerPacket Configuration Utility

To open the configuration utility, double-click the PowerPacket Utility icon on your desktop or click to open the "PowerPacket Utility" listing in your Start menu. The Main screen will display initially, with tabs for three other menu/screen options — Privacy, Diagnostics and About — also described below.

Main

Local Device(s) on your computer: Devices connected locally to the host computer are listed here. In most cases, only one device will be presented.

Connect: To choose a device if there's more than one connected, highlight it and click "Connect."

Upgrade Firmware: Click to update one of the two files (PIB and NVM) that may require updating (and display the screen below). NOTE: Proceed only if you know that a new

version of either file is available on the INTELLINET Web site or if you're instructed to do so by INTELLINET Tech Support.

Device Detected / Network Type / Autoscan: The number or status of these three references is listed just above the lower-panel window: a count of all HomePlug AV remote devices discovered to be currently on the logical network; public or private network; and whether Autoscan is on or off.

Device Name: Devices are listed in this column by their default name (as shown) unless re-defined by clicking "Rename" or by highlighting the name and editing it in place.

An icon is usually displayed alongside the name, with a color distinction between

HomePlug 1.0 and Turbo devices.

Password: By default, this column is blank; however, clicking "Enter Password" with a device selected on the Main screen allows you to set the password, which is required when creating a private network. When the Set Device Password screen displays, the name of the selected device appears above the "Password" text field. Enter the password, which appears on the back panel of the adapter, then click "OK." NOTE: The password is accepted regardless of the font case entered, but do include any dashes that separate the four- character

alphanumeric segments. A confirmation box appears if the password was correctly entered. If a device isn't found on the network, a

notification prompt will appear, along with suggested solutions.

Quality: This indicates the quality of the transmission between two devices.

Rate: This indicates the current transmission rate of the selected device.

MAC Address: This is the device's MAC address.

Add: Click to add a remote device to the existing network. When the Add Device to Network screen displays, fill in the "Device Name" and "Password" text fields, then click "OK." A confirmation box appears if the entries are correct. If a device isn't found on the network, a notification prompt will appear, along with suggested solutions.

Scan: Click to search for devices that are connected to the network. By default, the utility automatically scans every few seconds and updates the Local Devices list.

Privacy

This screen allows you to maintain security for the logical network and select the devices to be included in the network.

Private Network Name: All PowerLine HD devices are set with a default logical network (network name): This is normally "HomePlugAV," and will display in the text field when you click "Use Default (Public Network)." Alternatively, you can change to a private network by changing the network name (network password) of devices. You can always reset to the PowerLine HD network (Public) by entering "HomePlugAV" as the network name.

Set Local Device Only: Click to change the network name (network password) of the local device. If a new network password is entered, all the devices previously listed on the Main screen will no longer be present in the new network, effectively preventing the local devices from communicating with the devices in the "old" logical network.

Devices previously set up with the same logical network (same network name) will appear in the device list after selecting this option.

Set All Devices: Click to change the logical network of all devices that appear on the Main screen and whose passwords had been entered for the same logical network. A dialog window will appear to report the success of this operation. For devices whose passwords were not entered, this operation will fail and a failure message will display.

Diagnostics

This screen displays detailed information about both local and remote devices.

System Information: This window presents device names, user names, firmware versions, packets sent/dropped/missed/failed, and other data that can be useful in monitoring and identifying a device.

Remote Device History (Log): This window presents historical data of all remote devices. Those currently active on the logical network show a transfer rate in the "Rate" column; those that are inactive or no longer exist on the network show a question mark (?) and a "Last Seen" time/date.

Delete / Save Report / Print Report: Diagnostics data can be removed, printed or saved to a text file for later reference by clicking the appropriate button.

About

This screen simply displays the software version and company information. The Autoscan feature can also be selected/activated on this screen.
