PLA-4xx Series User’s Guide

CHAPTER 5

The Configuration Utility

This chapter shows you how to use the Configuration Utility (or Utility) to secure, manage and

set up Quality of Service (QoS) on your powerline network.

5.1 Overview

The PLA-4xx is designed as a plug-and-play network expanding solution. This means that

once you complete your hardware connections, the PLA-4xxs in your network (without

additional configuration) are able to communicate with each other by sending and receiving

information over your home’s electrical wiring (A). For the PLA-402 models you have the

option to use coaxial cables (B) to expand your network.

Figure 21 Example Network Setup

All HomePlug AV compliant powerline adapters within range can join your network. The

range varies depending on the quality of your home’s wiring. In the case of coaxial cable this

can extend beyond the boundary of your home (for example your neighbor’s house or

apartment).

" See Section 5.1.1 on page 42 for more information on enhancing your powerline

network security.
