GP-L200MP User Manual 5 5.1 How to Use the Utility Main Tab The Main screen provides a list of all power line devices logically connected to the computer when the utility is running. The top panel shows the local HomePlug devices connected to the network interface card (NIC) of the computer. Click Connect. The utility automatically scans the power line periodically for other HomePlug devices when it is connected to the local device.
GP-L200MP User Manual The lower panel displays all the HomePlug remote devices, which are discovered in the current logical network. The total number of remote devices connected in the same network is displayed above the remote device panel. Network type (Public or Private) depends on the network status of the local device. Autoscan shows whether the autoscan function is on. The following information is displayed for all the devices that appear in the lower panel.
GP-L200MP User Manual Figure 7 Setting the device password Step3 Click OK to verify the password. The password field accepts the device password in any case formats, with or without dash. A confirmation box appears if the password is entered correctly. If a device is not found, a message appears, providing suggestions to solve the common problems. This process might take a few seconds to get completed.

GP-L200MP User Manual to the power line network. By default, the utility automatically scans every a few seconds and updates the displayed information. 5.2 Privacy Tab In the Privacy screen, you can maintain security for the logical network and select the device included in the network. See Figure 9. Figure 9 Privacy tab All HomePlug devices are loaded using a default logical network (network name), which is normally “HomePlug”.
GP-L200MP User Manual If the network name changes to anything other than HomePlug, the network type in the main screen is displayed as Private. Set Local Device Only This button is used to change the network name and password of the local device. If a new network password is entered, all the devices appeared in the main panel prior to this are no longer present in the new network, effectively making the local devices not to communicate to the devices which are in the old logical network.
GP-L200MP User Manual 5.3 Diagnostics Tab The Diagnostics screen shows the system information and history of all remote devices appeared over a period of time. See Figure 10. The Upper panel shows technical data concerning software and hardware on the host computer that are used to communicate through HomePlug on the power line network.
GP-L200MP User Manual Figure 10 Diagnostics tab The Lower panel displays the history of all remote devices appeared on the computer over a certain period of time. All the devices and the parameters of the devices on the power line network are listed. Devices that are active on the current logical network show a transfer rate in the rate column. Devices on other networks, or devices that no longer exist are shown with a “?” in the rate column.

GP-L200MP User Manual 6 How to Use the Security Pushbutton This section describes how to add new devices to, or remove old devices from a HomePlug AV logical network (AVLN). Both can be accomplished by using a Security (NMK) pushbutton. Operation progress and outcome can be monitored by observing the behavior of the power LED. 6.1 Forming a HomePlug AV Logical Network When two devices with different NMK values are connected to the same power line, the user wants them to form a logical network.

You want to remove one device, the ‘leaver’, from that network, for whatever reason, and you may want to remove the device from service altogether or have it join another logical network. Do as follows: Step1 Press the pushbutton on the ‘leaver’ for at least 10 seconds. The device will reset and restart with a random NMK. Step2 Wait for reset to complete.

GP-L200MP User Manual 7 How to Improve the Transmission Capacity It is important to use the PLC product complying with the following "correct rules", because it can significantly improve the transmission capacity of the network. For the PLC device without female socket, it is recommended to plug the device directly into a wall socket, not to a power stripe.

GP-L200MP User Manual Appendix C About QoS PLC 200AV allows for 4 levels of Channel Access Priority (CAP (0 – 3)). The 8 levels of VLAN Ethernet tags must be mapped to the 4 levels of CAP priority, where CAP 3 is the highest priority and CAP 0 is the lowest. CAP 3 priority might be used for voice and network management frames, and CAP 2 is used for streaming video and music while CAP 1 and CAP 0 are used for data.
