Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS PowerLine
HD Ethernet Adapter, Model 503273. This quick install guide presents the basic
steps for setting up and operating this device. For troubleshooting suggestions
and specifications, refer to the user manual on the included CD and at www.
intellinet-network.com.
ConneCtionS
Adapter Connections & LED Indicators
NOTE: To connect the powerline network to the Ethernet network, this device can
be attached to a LAN switch port; however, each PC or server on the powerline
network needs to be directly attached to its own PowerLine adapter.
1. Plug the Cat5 cable into the Ethernet ports of the computer and the adapter.
2. Plug the adapter into an AC outlet.
IMPORTANT: Because the adapter sends data over a home’s power
lines, plug it directly into an electrical outlet. It’s recommended not to plug
the device into a power strip with surge protection. And do not plug the device
into a UPS: The adapter has its own power filter for protection against surges.
To connect the adapter to a router, disconnect the network cable from the PC
and connect it to the uplink port of the router. If only a LAN port is available on
the router, use a crossover Category 5 Ethernet network cable to connect the
adapter to the router. The installation of the adapter is complete.
ConfiGUrAtion UtiLity
After installing the adapter, run the Setup Wizard to install the PowerPacket
Configuration Utility. Use this utility to check the PC’s direct connection to the AC
power line network, search for PowerLine devices on your network, and set up
security using a network password.
NOTE: If you want the devices on your PowerLine network to share
high-speed Internet access, connect the adapter to a router after you
run the PowerPacket Configuration Utility (refer to the previous section).

Main
Local Device(s) on your computer: Devices connected locally to the host computer
are listed here (in most cases, only one device will be presented).

Device Detected / Network Type / Autoscan: The number or status of these
three references is listed just above the lower-panel window: a count of all
HomePlug AV remote devices discovered to be currently on the logical
network; public or private network; and whether Autoscan is on or off.
Device Name: Devices are listed in this column by their default name (as shown)
unless re-defined by clicking “Rename” or by highlighting the name and editing
it in place. An icon is usually displayed alongside the name, with a color
distinction between HomePlug 1.0 and Turbo devices.
Password: By default, this column is blank;
however, clicking “Enter Password” with
a device selected on the Main screen
allows you to set the password, which
is required when creating a private
network. When the Set Device Password
screen displays, the name of the selected
device appears above the “Password”
text field. Enter the password, which
appears on the back panel of the
adapter, then click “OK.” NOTE: The
password is accepted regardless of the
font case entered, but do
include any dashes that
separate the four- character
alphanumeric segments. A
confirmation box appears if
the password was correctly
entered. If a device isn’t found on the network, a notification prompt will
appear, along with suggested solutions.
Quality: This indicates the quality of the transmission between two devices.
Rate: This indicates the current transmission rate of the selected device.
MAC Address: This is the device’s MAC address.
Add: Click to add a remote device to the
existing network. When the Add Device
to Network screen displays, fill in the
“Device Name” and “Password” text
fields, then click “OK.” A confirmation
box appears if the entries are correct. If
a device isn’t found on the network, a
notification prompt will appear, along
with suggested solutions.
Scan: Click to search for devices that are
connected to the network. By default,
the utility automatically scans every few
seconds and updates the Local Devices list.

Privacy
This screen allows you to maintain security for the logical network and select
the devices to be included in the network.
Private Network Name: All PowerLine HD devices are set with a default logical
network (network name): This is normally “HomePlugAV,” and will display in
the text field when you click “Use Default (Public Network).” Alternatively, you
can change to a private network by changing the network name (network
password) of devices. You can always reset to the PowerLine HD network
(Public) by entering “HomePlugAV” as the network name.
Set Local Device Only: Click to change the network name (network password)
of the local device. If a new network password is entered, all the devices
previously listed on the Main screen will no longer be present in the new
network, effectively preventing the local devices from communicating with
the devices in the “old” logical network. Devices previously set up with the
same logical network (same network name) will appear in the device list
after selecting this option.
Set All Devices: Click to change the logical network of all devices that appear
on the Main screen and whose passwords had been entered for the same
logical network. A dialog window will appear to report the success of this
operation. For devices whose passwords were not entered, this operation
will fail and a failure message will display.

Diagnostics
This screen displays detailed information about both local and remote devices.
System Information: This window presents device names, user names, firmware
versions, packets sent/dropped/missed/failed, and other data that can be
useful in monitoring and identifying a device.
Remote Device History (Log): This window presents historical data of all remote
devices. Those currently active on the logical network show a transfer rate in
the “Rate” column; those that are inactive or no longer exist on the network
show a question mark (?) and a “Last Seen” time/date.
Delete / Save Report / Print Report: Diagnostics data can be removed, printed or
saved to a text file for later reference by clicking the appropriate button.
About
This screen displays the software version and company information. The Autoscan
feature can also be selected/activated on this screen.
