Chapter 6 The OS X Configuration Utility In the default screen shown in Figure 25 on page 52, the maximum possible speed is 150 Mbps. If the speed falls below 10 Mbps, the light will shine red. It will shine amber for speeds between 10 and 40 Mbps and green for speeds above 40 Mbps. Figure 25 Set HomePlug Light Color Use the slider to define the light behaviour or type a range in the text boxes for when the light should shine amber. For example, if the maximum possible speed in your network is 100 Mbps and you feel that speeds below 15 Mbps are abnormally slow, and speeds above 50 Mbps are good, then enter '15' in the first text box and '50' in the second. The maximum possible speed, 100 Mbps in our example, is detected automatically by the device; you do not enter it. If the HomePlug light displays red, indicating that the powerline coaxial speed is abnormally slow, try unplugging electrical devices such as lamps, phone chargers, hair dryers, drills and vacuum cleaners from the electrical circuit where your coaxial adapters are connected. 6.1.8 Link Information Use the Link Info screen to find out more information on the connection between two coaxial adapters on your powerline coaxial network. The link information screen shows the MAC addresses of connected coaxial adapters and statistics on the links. Figure 26 Link Information 52 PLA-402 v3 User's Guide

Use the slider to define the light behaviour or type a range in the text boxes for
when the light should shine amber. For example, if the maximum possible speed
in your network is 100 Mbps and you feel that speeds below 15 Mbps are
abnormally slow, and speeds above 50 Mbps are good, then enter ‘15’ in the first
text box and ‘50’ in the second. The maximum possible speed, 100 Mbps in our
example, is detected automatically by the device; you do not enter it.
If the HomePlug light displays red, indicating that the powerline coaxial speed is
abnormally slow, try unplugging electrical devices such as lamps, phone chargers,
hair dryers, drills and vacuum cleaners from the electrical circuit where your
coaxial adapters are connected.
