Tp-Link TL-WPA7510 KIT V2 [5/24] Manage an individual powerline device

Chapter 1

Get to Know the tpPLC Utility

What This Software Does

The tpPLC Utility is a computer software used to view and manage TP-Link powerline

devices, including powerline adapters and powerline extenders.

Compared with the web management interface focusing on single-device management,

the tpPLC Utility shows you a vivid and intuitive powerline network, and it also enables

you to conveniently manage all powerline devices in the network.

View a Vivid and Intuitive Powerline Network

This utility can show you a network map, with the local powerline device at the bottom,

remote powerline devices above it, and colored lines between them. The colored lines

illustrate the current powerline data rates, yellow lines for rates higher than 50Mbps

while red lines for rates lower than 50Mbps. It also shows the LEDs on each device in

real time for you to know the working status of your devices.

Manage an Individual Powerline Device

With this utility, you can change the settings for each powerline device in the current

network, redirect to the web management interface of a powerline extender for more

settings, or remove a remote device from the current network.

Note that earlier TP-Link powerline devices (200Mbps series) and non-TP-Link powerline

devices only support the renaming and removing functions.

Manage the Whole Powerline Network

This utility also enables you to manage the whole powerline network, such as adding a

new device, setting a new powerline network name, and turning on or off the LEDs on

all powerline devices. What’s more, it also provides usage tips for you to better use your

powerline devices.
