Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a SHARP PLC (PowerLine Communication)
adapter kit.
The SHARP PLC adapter kit lets you use the existing electrical wiring in
your house to create a home network. Simply plug the adapters into
electrical outlets at the desired locations, and then connect your computer
and other devices to the adapters with LAN cables (two LAN cables are
provided).
Two adapters are provided in the kit. Additional adapters (HN-VA400U/
HN-VA100U) can be purchased to expand your network. A total of 16
adapters (including the adapters in this kit) can be used.

If you have Broadband Internet
service, connect your router to one of
the adapters to allow all your network
devices to access the Internet.
Connect a network-enabled
AQUOS LCD-TV to your
powerline network with ease.
Up to four devices can
be connected to the
HN-VA400U adapter.
Data can be exchanged at
speeds of up to 85 Mbps
on your powerline network.

Unpacking Checklist
Unpacking Checklist
Safety Information
Do not disassemble the adapter or attempt any procedures not described
in this manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

basement. Do not spill any liquids on the adapter.
Unplug the adapter from the electrical outlet and consult a qualified
service representative if any of the following situations occur:
- Liquid has been spilled into the adapter or the adapter has been
exposed to rain or water.
- The adapter produces odors, smoke, or unusual noises.
- The power cord is frayed or damaged.
Do not install the adapter near heat sources such as radiators or stoves.
Do not place on top of other electrical devices.

Electrical Interference Information
Do not cover the adapter with a blanket or cloth. Excessive heating may
result and cause fire.
The power outlet must be installed near the adapter and must be easily
accessible.
Do not connect a cable other than a LAN cable to the LAN port on the
adapter. Connecting a different type of cable may cause the adapter to
overheat and result in fire.
Keep at least 4 inches free around the sides and top of the adapter to
allow air circulation and cooling.

Electrical Interference Information
Devices that may interfere with the powerline network
Cell phone chargers, battery chargers, vacuums, power tools, hair dryers,
and other appliances may cause noise on your power line that will affect
the performance and communication speed of the adapters. It is
recommended that you use noise filters between these devices and the
electrical outlets where they are plugged in.

built-in noise filter
Devices that may be affected by the powerline network
The powerline network may interfere with the operation of short-wave
radio, wireless devices such as cordless mice, cordless keyboards and
remote controls, and other devices connected to the same power line
such as touch lamps and dimmers.

Network Security
Network Security
To prevent others using nearby power lines from accessing or
eavesdropping on your network, only adapters that have been registered
are permitted to connect to the network. In addition, the adapters
communicate using 128-bit AES encryption. Encryption is automatically
enabled when an adapter is registered on your network. (Note that
although 128-bit AES encryption provides a high level of security, it does
not guarantee 100% protection against unauthorized access to your
network.)
♦The adapters in your SHARP PLC adapter kit have been registered at
the factory and 128-bit AES encryption has been enabled.
♦In the event that you transfer one of your adapters to another person or
send an adapter out for service, it is recommended that you cancel the
registration of the adapter (see page 18).
♦If you lose an adapter, it is recommended that you cancel the
registration of your remaining adapters (see page 18) and then re-
register the adapters.
Compatibility with other PLC systems
The PLC adapters use the HomePlug®AV 1.1
standard to communicate.
The PLC adapters cannot communicate with adapters that use a previous
HomePlug standard. However, the PLC adapters can coexist on the same
power line with previous HomePlug adapters without mutual interference.
The PLC adapters cannot communicate or coexist with adapters that use
a standard other than HomePlug AV.
The SHARP PLC adapter kit is only for use in the U.S.A.

SET button
This button is used to register the adapter on the network.
The two adapters in the HN-VA401SU kit have already been
registered. Registration using the SET button is only necessary
when you have purchased an additional adapter, or have canceled
the registration of an adapter. (The SET button is also used to
cancel the network registration of the adapter.)
POWER indicator
This lights green when the power is on (see page 16).
PLC indicator
This lights steadily when communication is possible, and blinks
when communication is taking place (see page 16).

LAN ports
Connect network devices such as a computer, router, and TV to
these ports using LAN cables. (Two LAN cables are provided;
please purchase additional cables separately as needed.)
Note: The HN-VA100U adapter has only one LAN port.
♦The indicator at the bottom right of each LAN port blinks while
communication is taking place:
Blinks green: Communicating by 100BASE-TX
Blinks orange or red: Communicating by 10BASE-T
If both indicators (at the bottom left and right of each LAN port)
are off, the power is either off or the adapter is not connected to
the network correctly.

Plug the power cords of the adapters into electrical outlets at the desired
locations of your house.
• It is recommended that you plug each adapter directly into an electrical
outlet. Plugging the adapters into a surge protector or other device may
impair performance. (The adapters have their own surge protection.)
• ThePOWER indicator on each adapter will blink orange and green while
the adapter starts up.
Do not plug the
adapter into the same
outlet as another AC
adapter or charger
Do not plug the
adapter into a power
strip with a built-in
noise filter
Do not plug the
adapter into the same
power strip as
another AC adapter
or charger
If you already have a HomePlug AV 1.1 network
If you are adding the adapters to an existing HomePlug AV 1.1 network,
you must first cancel the registration of the adapters (page 18), and then
register them using an existing adapter on the network (page 11).
