Section 1 - Product Overview Introduction D-Link announces a fast, 200Mbps Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter which allows you to network your home computers, networking devices and gaming devices through the most pervasive medium in your house - the electric powerlines - and share Internet connections, printers, transfer files, play games, and more. This kit can be used to network two computers with a 10/100Base-T adapter through powerlines.
Section 1 - Product Overview Hardware Overview LEDs Power LED A solid light indicates that the device is receiving power. AP LED A solid light indicates that the device is the master unit in the powerline network. Ethernet LED A solid light indicates a connection on the Ethernet port. The LED blinks during data transmission. Throughput LED A solid green light indicates that the master device has detected another Powerline device on the network.
Section 1 - Product Overview Hardware Overview Connection Depressable push button Press to secure your network. Refer to page 8 for more information. Ethernet Port Connect CAT5 Ethernet cable to the DHP-302 Ethernet port.
Section 2 - Installation Hardware Installation Power Plug in the DHP-302 into an AC wall outlet or power strip. Note: Power source is confirmed when the green LED Power Indicator on the DHP-302 is illuminated. Connect the Ethernet Cable Connect the included Ethernet cable to the network cable connector located on the DHP-302 and attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to the network or PC.
Section 2 - Installation Push Button Security Plug in all the adapters to be configured. Note: It is strongly recommended to designate the local adapter as the one that is directly connected to your router. This local adapter will act as the security key master in the network. Each additional adapter you proceed to add afterwards will be referred to as a ‘remote’ adapter. Local adapter Press and hold the push button down until the local adapter AP LED begins to flash.
Section 2 - Installation 1. Local adapter Begin by pressing the push button until its AP LED starts to flash. During this flashing phase the adapter is actively waiting for other adapters to sync Press and hold the button Local Adapter 2. Remote (additional) adapters Push the button on the remote adapter until the AP LED begins flashing. (It is important to ensure the local adapter AP LED is still in the flashing state while you do this).
Section 2 - Installation 3. Synchronization complete After a few seconds, successful synchronization should occur. This is visible when the remote adapter’s AP LED switches off indicating that it is securely configured. The local adapter AP LED however, will continue to remain solidly lit and the throughput LED should turn Green. Remote Adapter Local Adapter Note: When adding more adapters, repeat steps 1 to 3. At the end of this process, only the local adapter should have the AP LED lit.
Section 2 - Installation Using the Setup Wizard Follow the simple steps below to run the Setup Wizard to guide you quickly through the installation process. Insert the D-Link DHP-302 CD into your CD-ROM drive. If the CD Autorun function does not automatically start on your computer, click Start > Run. In the Run command box type “D:\DHP302.exe”, where D: represents the drive letter of your CD-ROM. If it does start, proceed to the next screen.

Section 3 - Configuration Configuration After you have completed the D-Link DHP-302 Utility installation wizard, double-click the D-Link DHP-302 Powerline HD Utility icon on your desktop to start the configuration of the DHP-302. Double-click the D-Link DHP-302 Powerline HD Utility icon The utility provides you with the option of setting your own unique Network ID and the ability to prioritize traffic passing through the network.
Section 3 - Configuration Red text on the Device Name, Network ID, MAC & Location columns mean that the powerline network is encrypted with the default Network ID (DHP-302). Follow the steps below to encrypt the network with a non-default Network ID: • Single-click on the nodes that you want to change. • Once all the nodes you want to encrypt with a non-default Network ID, click the Security page. • Change to different Network ID. • Press Save Settings.
Section 3 - Configuration Setup This screen shows the current configuration of the DHP-302. Device Name: Show name of devices that have been discovered. Default is Device 1, Device 2 etc (Max 16 characters, 0-9, A-Z, case sensitive) ie. Living room, Bedroom, etc. Network ID: Powerline Network Name. The default ID is DHP-302 (Max 10 characters, 0-9, A-Z, case sensitive). MAC: MAC Address of detected node. Location: Local or Remote nodes.
Section 3 - Configuration Quality: Network connection quality of the connected node. • Three circles - Best powerline connection. Suitable for HD video stream connection. • Two circles - Better powerline connection. Suitable for SD video stream connection. • One circle - Good powerline connection. Suitable for data and internet activity connection. Scan: Scan the powerline network for PLC nodes. Check the AutoScan box to scan the network periodically.
Section 3 - Configuration Security This section shows the security configuration of the DHP-302. You can modify any of the parameters and click Save Setting to save your configuration. Device Name: Show name of devices that have been discovered. Default is Device 1, Device 2 etc (Max 16 characters, 0-9, A-Z, case sensitive) ie. Living room, Bedroom, etc. Network ID: Powerline Network Name. Default is DHP-302 (Max 10 characters, 0-9, A-Z, case sensitive).
Section 3 - Configuration Application QoS The Quality of Service (QoS) screen will allow you to set priorities for traffic passing through your network. By default all types of traffic are assigned the same priority. Multimedia applications use UDP (User Datagram Protocol) for data transfer, while database applications use TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) for data transfer. Application QoS: Select an application from the drop-down menu of predefined QoS rules to apply QoS automatically.
Section 3 - Configuration Advanced QoS Rule: Select the traffic type (UDP or TCP) to have priority. 802.1p use prioritization bits in Layer-2 frames. Port: Input the port number to have priority. Priority: Input port priority from 1 to 6. The highest priority is 6, and the lowest is 1.
Section 3 - Configuration Reset To reset your configuration password, please click Reset to restore the password to the factory default value. When the master unit is in stand-by mode, the throughput LED will blink red intermittently. With the power saving mode enabled and the ethernet link activity being down for 15 minutes, the DHP-302 will automatically go into standby mode.
Section 4 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting • DHP-302 Powerline HD utility does not start correctly: Reinstall the utility. • DHP-302 Powerline HD utility does not detect the PowerLine HD Ethernet Adapter: Please make sure your Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter is correctly plugged and connected to the computer or network device. • I can’t configure the PowerLine HD Ethernet Adapter, DHP-302 Powerline HD utility is always asking me for the password: Please make sure you have entered the correct password.
