Chapter 1 Introduction

This device is an AV1200 Gigabit Powerline Adapter which transforms your house’s existing electrical

wiring into a ubiquitous networking infrastructure. Simply plug this AV1200 Gigabit Powerline Adapter

into an ordinary AC power outlet which will easily extend your Cable/xDSL broadband connection or

existing Ethernet (LAN) network to any other electrical outlet in any room of a house without the need of

any new cabling.

This powerline adapter supports up to 1200Mbps data rate over the existing household power circuit.

With data rates of 1200Mbps, full multimedia application can easily be supported throughout the whole

house in addition to Internet access. This powerline adapter uses the existing power lines installed in a

home as a path to transmit digital data, voice, audio and video between devices.

To ensure data communication’s security and multimedia applications, this powerline adapter supports

built-in 128-bit AES encryption and Quality of Service (QoS) features. With minimum setup, you can

install and use this powerline adapter within minutes. The adapter adds two useful functions.
