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 PLA402 v2 models you have the
option to use coaxial cables (
B
) to expand your network.
Figure 23
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).
