1 Introduction to HL100E HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor

One of the major drawbacks in setting up home network is the absence of required wiring inside the

house to interconnect networked computers. In recent years several technologies have attempted

to address the issue. The most prominent technology so far is the family of WIFI (802.11 X)

products. Recently, however, another technology called HomePlug has come forth. It uses

electrical grids, already available inside walls to transmit data from computer to computer.

HomePlug technology modulates computer data in a way to enable them use power grid as a

medium of transmission from point to point. Using this technology, two computers have a virtual

Ethernet connection without the need to be physically connected to each other.

The HL100E HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor has 3 indicator lights (LEDs) and an Ethernet port. The

LEDs depict the connection status, as well as other information, enabling detailed diagnosis of

system malfunction. The Ethernet port is to connect to a device in the home network. The HL100E

HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor has a standard power plug for connection to a power outlet. There are

three main kinds of power plugs:

• HL100E (UK) – 3 pins UK plug with integrated 230V AC power supply.

• HL100E (EUR) – 2 pins Euro plug with integrated 230V AC power supply.

• HL100E (US) – 2 pins US plug with integrated 120V AC power supply.

Computer networking in the office or at home has the following advantages:

1. Share centrally stored data

2. Share one printer

3. Multi-access to one Internet connection

4. Multi-user games over the network.

3.3 Care Instructions

Network Volume

The maximum number of HomePlug adaptors in a single-family house is theoretically 253

connections, but in practice no more than 10 devices should be transferring data

simultaneously.

Network Security

Normally the electric meter forms a physical barrier, i.e. only devices connected to this meter

can be part of the network and benefit from the phase coupling. We strongly recommend that

you use the HL100E HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor internal device encryption. It is configured

with the HL100E HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor Configuration Utility (refer to the Appendix on

Page 11).

How to Use Passwords Correctly

You can improve your security substantially by following some important rules regarding the

use of passwords.

• Keep your passwords as secret as possible.

• Never write a password down. Popular, but completely unsuitable storage options include

notebooks, wallets and text files in computers.

• Do not pass on your password unnecessarily.

• Select a random password. Use random strings of letters and numbers. Passwords from

common language usage are not secure.

• Change the password regularly or immediately if you feel it has been compromised.

• Passwords should be changed as frequently as possible. This requires a little effort, but

increases your security considerably. Even if only the slightest indication of a leak exists,

the password should be changed.

Note: Always use the internal device encryption (the network password) for security. It can be

configured using the HL100E HomePlug Configuration Utility (please refer to Page 11 for the

Configuration Utility User Guide).
