Chapter 1 Introduction
This device is an AV500 Powerline Adapter with AC Pass Through which
transforms your house's existing electrical wiring into a ubiquitous networking
infrastructure. Simply plug this AV500 Powerline Adapter with AC Pass Through
into an ordinary AC power outlet which will easily extend your Cable/xDSL
broadband connection or existing Ethernet (LAN) network to any other electrical
outlet in any room of a house without the need of any new cabling.
This Powerline Adapter supports up to 600Mbps data rate over the existing
household power circuit. With data rates of 600Mbps, full multimedia application
can easily be supported throughout the whole house in addition to Internet
access. This Powerline Adapter uses the existing power lines installed in a home
as a path to transmit digital data, voice, audio and video between devices. To
ensure data communication's security and multimedia applications, this
Powerline Adapter support built-in 128-bit AES encryption.
The new Powerline Adapter PL5001 from MTC provides extra convenience and
better performance for your home network with its integrated electrical socket
and mains filer. The common problem of wasting an electrical outlet is solved
and additional terminal devices or multiple sockets can be connected to the
adapter just like to a normal wall socket. What's more, the data transmission in
the network can be significantly improved by the integrated mains filter. With
minimum setup, you can install and use this Powerline Adapter within minutes.
The adapter adds two useful functions.
1. Existing connection with a new unassociated device added via the Pair
Button.
2. Reset to default setting via the Management Utility.
