Set Up Quality of Service (QoS)

The Quality of Service (QoS) feature helps you prioritize your Powerline network traffic. By

default, all types of traffic on the Powerline network are assigned the same priority. For most

applications, this works fine. However, there are situations where performance improves if

you assign a higher priority to certain types of traffic, such as multimedia files.

If your network traffic is a mix of multimedia traffic and document and database traffic, you

might want to give priority to a particular traffic type. 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).
