The Powerline Advantage |
By simply connecting two or more Powerline Adapters to Electrical Sockets in your Home
any Network Devices with an RJ45 Ethernet Port can be connected to each other.
Powerline offers many benefits over other types of Networking both Wired and Wireless;
• Easy to setup
• No Technical Knowledge required
• Capable of reaching areas often inaccessible by Wireless Networks
• No need to run long lengths of Cat 5 Cabling
• No distance issues
• Not open to Radio Frequency Interference
Powerline is totally safe and uses very minimal amounts of Power. Our existing solution
can support up to 16 Adapters on one Network simultaneously.
Our Adapters adopt the relevant HomePlug Standards (HomePlug 1.0 for Turbo and
HomePlug AV) meaning they are compatible with other Manufacturers Adapters that use
the same Standard.

Frequently Asked Questions |
Are Powerline Turbo and Powerline AV compatible with one another?
No, although Powerline Turbo and AV Adapters can exist on the same Electrical Circuit
they cannot communicate directly with each other due to different Modulation methods.
However, If a Router is used as a Central Point and Adapters of each type are going into the
Router, then Devices connected to Turbo and AV Adapters can belong to the same
Network.
How many Powerline Adapters can be used in the same building?
Up to 16 Powerline Adapters of each Adapter Type can operate in the same Building
simultaneously.
Can the Powerline Adapters be used on different floors of the same building?
Yes, our Powerline Adapters are capable of communicating across up to 3 Electrical
Phases, meaning they should be suitable for any Private Residence or Small Office.
The Communication should stop with the Circuit Breakers that act as the meeting point
between external Mains and the internal Building Circuits, so no Communication should be
possible between Buildings. If in doubt the default Encryption Key used by the Powerline
Adapters could always be altered.

Frequently Asked Questions |
How does the Encryption work?
The Turbo Powerline Adapters use 56-bit DES Encryption to ensure Data Security, whilst
the Powerline AV Adapters use 128-bit AES Encryption. In both cases there is a default
Encryption Key which is used.
The Turbo Powerline Adapters allow you to change the default Encryption Key by using the
‘Belkin HomePlug Utility’ supplied on the CD. The AV Powerline Adapters however, offer a
Push-Button Security feature that allows you to assign a new random Encryption Key to all
your units. Simply push the button on one unit to Broadcast the new Key, and then the
button on all other Units within 2 minutes for them to associate with this new Key.
Do I have to use the CD provided?
No, the Hardware Installation is a CD-less setup. The CD, which simply contains a copy of
the Multilingual Manual and the Belkin HomePlug Utility (F5D4071), would only need to be
used should you wish to change the default Encryption Key at any stage.
Will the Powerline Adapters work via Surge Protectors?
Whilst the Powerline Adapters will still work via Surge Protectors, performance is
dramatically affected so we would not recommend such usage. This is due to the
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference Filtering found within standard Surge
Protectors, essentially the Powerline Communication is also being partly filtered.

Future Of Powerline |
Belkin seems committed to developing the Powerline Range and are already working on
improved enclosures for the current Range.
It is also thought that we are likely to see Powerline incorporated into at least one Surge
Protection Product as well as the release of a Powerline Access Point potentially.
