Connecting DHP-200 To Your Network
The DHP-200 is an excellent solution that can be used to extend your wireless
network. In the home or small ofce building, use a pair of DHP-200 Powerline
adapters to link two wireless remote locations without the need to run Ethernet
cables. Combined with a broadband Cable/DSL connection, every room with
electrical outlets will have easy access to the high-speed Internet connection.
Product LED description
This LED will light solid when the Powerline
network is functioning properly.
Powerline
Power
This LED will blink when there is Powerline activity.
Ethernet This LED will light solid when the DHP-200 has a
good link on the Ethernet port, and will blink when
there is Ethernet activity.

You can connect the DHP-200 directly to PC’s network adapter, switch, or any
other Ethernet enabled device. (Note: The Ethernet Port on the DHP-200 is Auto-
MDI/MDIX. Meaning you can use a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet
(CAT 5) cable when connecting to another Ethernet enabled device.)
For the D-Link Conguration Utility, connect the DHP-200 directly to a PC.

In order to start the utility,
double-click the utility icon.
Using the D-Link PLC Utility
Figure 1 , shows the main screen
of the conguration utility. The top

a HomePlug device connected
locally to the host computer. The
bottom panel shows four devices
connected remotely to the computer
running the utility.
Figure 1: Main Screen
User Interface
Main Tab
The Main screen provides a list of all powerline devices logically connected to
the computer when the utility is running.
The top panel shows all local HomePlug connected to the computer’s NIC
(Network Interface Card). In most cases, only one device will be seen. In
situations where there are more than one local device being connected, such
as a USB or an Ethernet adapter, the user can select the local device by clicking
on it and then click the Connect button to its right. The status area above the
button indicates that your PC is connected to that same device. Once connected
to the local device, the utility will automatically scan the power line periodically
for any other HomePlug devices. If no local HomePlug devices are discovered,
the status area above the connect button will indicate with a message ‘NO
HomePlug ADAPTERS DETECTED’.
7
User Interface(continued)
Figure 2 , illustrates the presence
of two local HomePlug devices
connected locally to the computer.
The lower panel displays all
the HomePlug remote devices,
discovered on the current logical
network. The total number of remote
devices connected on the same
network can be found on top of the
remote device panel. The Network
type (Public or Private) is also
displayed based on the network
status of the local device. The scan
status option is displayed on the
top right corner above the Remote
devices panel showing whether the
auto scan functionality is turned ON
or OFF. The following information is
displayed for all devices that appear
in the lower panel.
Figure 2: Multiple Local Device Connection
Device Name column shows the default device name, which may be
user re-dened. A user can change the name by either
using the rename button or by clicking on the name and
editing in-place.
MAC Address column shows the Remote device’s MAC address.
Password column by default is blank and ‘Enter Password’
button can be used to enter it.
8
To set the Password of the device
(required when creating a private
network). First select the device
by clicking on its name in the lower
panel and then click on the Enter
Password button. A dialog box will
appear as shown in Figure 3 to
type the password. The selected
device name is shown above the
password eld and the password
can be veried by hitting the OK
button. The Password eld accepts
the Device password in any case
formats, with or without dashed
between them.
Figure 3: Set Device Password
User Interface(continued)
A conrmation box will appear if the password was entered correctly. If a device
was not found, the user will be notied along with the suggestions to resolve
common problems. This process might take a few seconds to get completed.
The Add button is used to add
a remote device to the existing
network by entering the device
password of the device. A dialog
box will appear as shown below in
Figure 4. The dialog box allows the
user to enter both a device name
and the password.
A conrmation box will appear if
the password was entered correctly
and if the device was found in the
powerline network. If a device was
not found, the user will be notied
and suggestions to resolve common
problems will be presented.
Figure 4: Add Remote Device
Notes: The device must be present on the power line (plugged in) in order for the
password to be conrmed and added to the network. If the device could not
be located, a warning message will be shown.
9
The Scan button is used to perform
an immediate search of the
HomePlug devices connected to
the Powerline network. By default,
the utility automatically scans every
few seconds and updates the
display screen.
A typical screen after naming and
supplying passwords might appear
as in Figure 5. Figure 5: Main Screen of the Conguration
User Interface(continued)
Privacy Tab
The Privacy screen provides the
user with an option to maintain
security for their logical network and
also to select the devices that has
to be included in the network. The
appearance is shown in Figure 6.
All HomePlug devices are shipped
using a default logical network
(network name), which is normally
“HomePlug”. The Privacy dialog
screen allows user to change to a
private network by changing the
network name (network password)
of devices.
Figure 6: Privacy Screen
The user can always reset to the HomePlug network (Public) by entering
“HomePlug” as the network name or by clicking on the Use Default button.
Notes: Changing the network name to anything other than HomePlug will show the
network type on the main screen as Private.
10
The Set Local Device Only button can be used to change the network name
(network password) of the local device. If a new network password is entered,
all the devices seen on the Main panel prior to this will be no longer present in
the new network, effectively making the local devices not to communicate to the
devices who were in the old logical network. Devices previously set up with the
same logical network (same network name) will appear in the device list afterward
selecting this option.
The Set All Devices button is used to change the logical network of all devices
that appear on the Main panel whose Device’s Password had been entered for
the same logical network. A dialog window will appear to report the success of this
operation. For devices whose device passwords were not entered, this operation
will fail and will report a failure message.
Diagnostics Tab
The Diagnostics screen shows
System information and a history of
all remote devices seen over a period
of time. The appearance is shown in
Figure 7.
The Upper panel shows technical data
concerning software and hardware
present on the host computer which
were used to communicate over
HomePlug on the Powerline network.
It shall include the following:
