manual abstract
If it is important that your multimedia playback is smooth, even while document files are being transferred over the network, then give priority to multimedia traffic. Conversely, if it is more important for your network to be responsive to database applications, give priority to this type of application over multimedia applications. The Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter supports the following: • MAC address • IP port • VLAN tags • ToS bits (Type of Service routing) QoS settings are applied the Powerline devices on the Powerline network. To set up Quality of Service for Powerline devices: 1. Start the Powerline Utility and wait for the utility to detect the Powerline AV Ethernet adapters connected to the network. 2. Either click the device, or click the Security icon . 3. Select QoS (Quality of Service). The following screen displays: You can use these methods to set up QoS: • Destination MAC address • TCP/UPP port number • 802.1Q VLAN tag or ToS 4. To set the traffic prioritization rule for the selected Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter device, click Priority and specify the priority in the QoS Setup section of the screen. 5. If applicable, select the VLAN tag or TOS field check box. These options apply only to QoS-configured networks. IEEE 802.1p uses prioritization bits in Layer-2 frames. Type of Service (ToS) routing uses prioritization bits in Layer-3 IP packets. The deprecated ToS values range from 0 to 7. 6. Click Apply. 3. Troubleshooting Basic Functioning After you plug in the Powerline adapter, the following sequence of events should occur: 1. The Power LED lights up. 2. After approximately 10 seconds, verify that: a.The Power LED is solid green. b. The Powerline LED is lit. c. The Ethernet LED lights or blinks. Troubleshooting Tips The Reset and Security buttons are located on the side panel of the adapter. • Pressing the Reset button longer than 2 seconds does not reset the device. • Pressing the Security button longer than 2 seconds does not activate security. LEDs The LEDs indicate activity, and can be used for troubleshooting. LEDs Are Off When the Adapter Is Plugged In • First check to make sure that the electrical outlet has power. • If power is supplied and the LEDs stay off, someone might have used the Powerline Utility to turn off the LEDs. Use the Powerline Utility to see if that is the case. If so, then use the Powerline Utility to turn them back on. Power LED • Off. Make sure that power is supplied to the electrical outlet, and that the Powerline devices are not plugged into an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector. • Amber. Power saving mode occurs when the Ethernet LED is off. This can occur when: -The Ethernet cable is unplugged. -The device connected through the Ethernet cable is turned off. -The adapter is idle for 10 minutes. The adapter returns to normal mode within 2 seconds once the Ethernet link is up. Powerline LED • Off. The Powerline devices cannot find each other. Make sure that the Powerline devices are plugged into outlets with power, and that they use the same network encryption key. -Move the Powerline device to a location closer to the computer or devices. -If you have set up network security, make sure that all Powerline devices are using the same encryption key. -If the problem occurred after you changed the network encryption key, reset each device to its factory default settings. Then you can customize the encryption key. • Amber or red. Move the Powerline device to a closer location. Ethernet LED Does Not Blink There is no data traffic. Make sure that: -Your router and modem are switched on. -The adapter’s cable is securely connected to a router LAN port. -The PC connected directly to the router can access the Internet. -Press the Reset button on each Powerline device for 1 second to return the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings. If You Do Not See All Your Devices with the Powerline Utility If you click Refresh on the main screen of the Powerline Utility, and do not see all the devices you expect, it could be that a Powerline adapter is in power saving mode or is set to use a different encryption key. • Power saving mode. You might see a message at the bottom of the screen regarding the power saving feature. If a unit goes into power saving mode, the Powerline Utility does not find it. Keeping a connected Ethernet cable plugged into the device keeps it active so that it does not go in to power saving mode. • Encryption keys are different. To fix this, you can do one of the following: -Reset your Powerline adapters to their factory settings and default encryption key. Then set the encryption for all of your Powerline adapters. -Connect your computer to each Powerline device and set up the network encryption key for one adapter at a time. A.
