TPE-111BR F.A.Q.
Q: What is a Powerline Network?
A:A Powerline Network uses electrical wires in your home or office to connect computers, routers, or
other network devices.
A Powerline device sends data along AC wires by using a frequency common to powerline devices
but different to other electrical appliances. Since a powerline device operates at a different
frequency, appliances such as your T.V. or microwave will not receive any interference, and your
powerline device will continue to communicate with other powerline devices at 14Mbps.
Q: How does a Powerline device communicate with other powerline devices?
A:
Q: What are the benefits of using Powerline networking products?
A:
Q: What can I do with Powerline devices?
A:
All homes and offices have power outlets in almost every room. Since power outlets are
connected through electrical wiring, you can immediately network devices through AC wires
without purchasing extra cables, switches, or other networking hardware. Because of the growing
popularity of high-speed broadband technology, powerline devices present a cost-effective solution
to easily share an Internet connection or other network resources.
You can transfer files between workstations such as, MP3s, videos, Word documents, or other
media. You can also share an Internet connection, printers, hard drives, or other network
resources.
Q: How can I get high-speed Internet access through Powerline devices?
A:First you need a broadband connection (DSL or Cable) from your local ISP. Then you need to
have a router to share your Internet connection. Once you have these requirements, you can use
powerline devices to connect to the Internet.

Q: Can I share my network connection with a neighbor?
A:
Q: Are powerline devices thoroughly tested?
A:
Q: If I have older wiring in my home, will I experience a difference in
performance?
A:
Q: What are some companies that support HomePlug standards?
A:
Q: What operating systems are compatible with powerline devices?
A:
Q: Do your powerline devices handle power surges?
A:
Q: Are Powerline devices "secure"?
A:Yes, powerline devices use 56-bit DES (Data Encryption Standard) to encrypt data transmissions
between your workstations and router. Through a shared network password, you can prevent
other powerline devices from eavesdropping on your home network.
If your neighbor has the same network password and is on the same electrical circuit and within
300 meters (total wired distance) from the closest powerline device, then you can share your
network connection.
The HomePlug alliance has tested powerline technology in 500 homes throughout North America.
Based on this extensive field trial, HomePlug specification 1.0 was announced in June 2001.
Field tests have shown consistent performance regardless of a home’s age or size. Field tests
confirm nearly 100 percent coverage for every home tested.
Companies such as Intellon, Cogency, Cisco, Radio Shack, Texas Instruments, and many other
companies support powerline technology.
When using powerline adapters, Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP are compatible operating systems.
If you are using powerline routers, access points, or bridges, these applications are platform
independent.
Yes, our powerline devices can handle power surges.

Q: When I run the PLC Configuration Utility I detect more PowerLine devices
than I have. Why is this?
A:One of your neighbors is using powerline devices as well.
You can identify your devices by their MAC addresses in the Network tab of the PLC Configuration
Utility.
Make sure you run the PLC Configuration utility and click on the Security tab. Enter the same
network password for all powerline devices on your network.
