5 HomePlug AV Powerline Network Setup
Follow these steps to set up your HomePlug AV network. You may remain connected to
any other networks such as a wireless network during this procedure.

and turn them on.
2 Log into the web configurator if you haven’t already logged in and go to Advanced setup.
Click on Network > HomePlug to begin setting up your network in the following screen.
3 Set the name for your network in the Network Name section. The Network Name is
like a password for your network. A HomePlug AV adaptor can only access your
network if it has the correct Network Name.
•Select Public, Network Name is HomePlugAV to set your Network Name to the default
(HomePlugAV). Choose this option if you want to easily detect when a new HomePlug AV
device (with the default network name) is connected to your wiring, without having to
change its network password.
•Select Private, Network Name is and type a Network Name if you want to make your net-
work more secure by changing the default Network Name to one that only you know.
ENGLISH
11
4 Click Set to set the Network Name for all devices listed as Active in the My HomePlug
Network table below. These devices now have the Network Name you selected. With
the same Network Name they are now all on the same network.
5 Add a new device to your network by typing its MAC Address and DAK Password in
the Add New Member section. The DAK Password is found along with the MAC
Address on a label attached to the device. The DAK (Device Access Key) is a password
which gives you access to a powerline device, so you can change the device’s Network
Name. Then type a Nickname such as “Mary’s room” to help you identify the device.
Click Add. The device should appear as Active in the My HomePlug Network table
below.
•If MAC address error appears, check the MAC Address is correctly entered.
•If DEK format error appears, check the DAK Password is correctly entered.
6 Click Scan in the My HomePlug Network table to detect the other devices on your new
network.
If a device is Active, it is connected to your network.
If a device is Out of Network your NBG-318S has the details of this device but can-
not detect it. Check it is switched on and click Scan.
If a device is Not Member or fails to appear in the table, try adding it in the Add New
Member section or by clicking on the Edit icon. See Troubleshooting for more sug-
gestions.

7 When you are finished setting up your powerline network, connect your powerline
adapters to the devices you want on your network, such as computers and a router for
connection to the Internet. See the figure on page 2 for an example.
Troubleshooting
V If the login screen does not display, follow these steps.
1 Check your computer’s IP address settings or make sure your computer is set to
receive an IP address dynamically (see the appendix in the User’s Guide).
2 If you cannot access the web configurator using Internet Explorer in Windows XP or
Windows Server 2003, check your web browser’s security settings (see the appendix in
the User’s Guide).
V If you cannot access the Internet when your computer is connected to one
of the NBG-318S’s LAN ports, follow these steps:
1 If an LED does not turn on, check your connections. Then turn the NBG-318S off, wait
for a few seconds and turn it back on.
2 Log into the web configurator again. Make sure you type in the information correctly.
For example, if your account has a user name and password, make sure you type it
correctly. In addition, if you are not sure which encapsulation your ISP uses, contact
your ISP.
3 Log in and go to Advanced setup. Go to Maintenance > Sys Op Mode. Select Router
(Ethernet WAN) if you connect to the Internet through your Ethernet port. Select
Router (HomePlug WAN) if you connect to the Internet through a HomePlug
connection.
4 If you are using a new Internet account, contact your ISP to make sure it is active.
5 If you still have problems, see Troubleshooting in the Users Guide.
V If you cannot access the Internet from the wireless network, do the
following.
1 On a computer connected to the NBG-318S, make sure your NBG-318S and the
computers on your wireless network are using the same wireless and wireless security
settings. See the chapter on Wireless LAN in the User’s Guide for more information.
ENGLISH
13
2 If you are using a security key but do not know what your key is, press RESET on your
NBG-318S for 10 seconds or until the POWER light flashes. The settings on your device
return to their factory defaults. Start the wizard to configure your settings again.
V If you cannot access your HomePlug AV powerline network, try the
following:
1 Make sure that the network password is the same on all of your HomePlug AV adapters
and that the DAKs for your HomePlug AV devices are typed correctly.
2 Make sure that all the powerline adapters you are using are HomePlug AV compliant.
The NBG-318S does NOT recognize earlier versions of HomePlug adapters such as
HomePlug 1.0 or 1.0.1.
3 Make sure that the devices on your network are all on the same electrical wiring.
Connect another powerline adapter into an outlet close to your NBG-318S’s power
outlet. They are probably now on the same electrical wiring. Check the HomePlug
light. If it now lights up your power line adapter was probably previously on separate
electrical wiring. Ask an electrician for more information on the electrical wiring in your
building.
