1.Introduction
Powerline Communication (PLC) technology uses the existing powerline infrastructure to
transfer high-speed data, eliminating the need for expensive and complicated cable
installation. Because the home or office is already a ‘wired network’ through powerlines,
Xeline’s PLC system offers a cost-effective and easy-to-install Internet access solution from
any electrical outlet.
Xeline's XPAS-200B PLC Internet Access System supports data rates of up to 24Mbps and is
targeted for effective Internet access over powerlines in residential houses or high-rise
building configurations.
The XPAS-200B system supports both Master/Slave or Ad-hoc topology and is based on Xeline's
proprietary Cell-structured MAC (CMAC), which offers virtually unlimited number of nodes per
physical network.
Remote configuration and firmware upgrade are also supported for efficient setup and
maintenance of the PLC units in mass-usage environments.
Xeline's XPAS-200B system supports EMS (Element Management System) for effective remote
monitoring and management of the PLC networks.

when fixing the MM-202BX on the inner wall of the distribution panel.
(5) Avoid the following environments:
-Areas with extremely high or low temperatures
-Areas with high humidity or high risk of flooding
-Areas where sudden changes in temperature occur
-Under direct sunlight
(In outdoor configurations, install the MM-202BX in a shady area away from
direct sunlight.)
(6) Install the MM-202BX at least 1m from the ground to avoid contact with children
or small animals.

4. Installing the MM-202BX
4.1 Connecting the Power
Plug the power cable of the MM-202BX into an available power outlet in the distribution
station or panel1.
4.2Configuring the MM-202BX
The MM-202BX is remotely configured by the EU-200BX through automatic process. Therefore
there is no need to manually configure the MM-202BX2.
4.3 Connecting the CU-100A to the MM-202BX
The CU-200A is usually installed near the circuit breaker of each subscriber’s house. Use a
straight RJ-11 cable to connect the MM-202BX and CU-100A. The RJ-11 cable is not included
with the MM-202BX3.
①Insert one end of the RJ-11 cable in the SIG1 or SIG2port of the MM-202BX.
②Insert the other end of the cable in the INPUT port of the CU-100A.
Figure 5Connecting the MM-202BX to the CU-100A
1If there is no available power outlet, connect the Hot line and Neutral line from the public
power supply in order to provide power to the MM-202BX. Be careful not to use private
powerlines.
2Please refer to the EU-200BXInstallation Guide for more details.
3The RJ-11 cable is not included with the product because the distance to each subscriber’s
house varies widely according to the site configuration. The RJ-11 cable should be a straight
cable with wires in the same sequence on both ends.
