Introduction
BiPAC HomePlug AV 200 is a networking device that utilizes the existing wiring system as a path
to transmit data signal through the inter-conversion between digital and analog signal. With this
functionality, HomePlug AV devices can be plugged into an AC outlet to draw power and at the
same time establishing a network connection between two or more Ethernet devices.
BiPAC HomePlug AV 200 can be used to bridge any Ethernet device to your Powerline network
in your home or ofce. With this technology, Ethernet devices in your home or ofce can equally
share high speed data transmission rate without the need to spend excessive time and money
installing expensive Ethernet cable. It can be plugged into an Ethernet port on a router to equip
a network with powerline capabilities and take advantage of the router features. HomePlug AV
device can also be plugged directly into a cable or DSL modem that allows instant internet access
over home Powerlines to each computer equipped with a HomePlug AV certied Powerline
network adapter. BiPAC HomePlug AV 200 makes high-speed modem sharing as fast and simple
as plugging the devices in the wall.

Quick Start (Setup Powerline Network)
Push Button usage
Sync Button is used to add a HomePlug device to a Powerline network or enable it to join a
network by pressing the Sync Button of the device to turn it into Broadcast state or Join state.
There are 3 types of Sync Button trigger states:
Broadcast State: Enable BiPAC HomePlug AV device to provide information for another 1.
BiPAC HomePlug AV device to join its powerline network group (works even if it is the only
device existing within the network group).
Join State: This allows an ungrouped BiPAC HomePlug AV device to join an existing powerline 2.
network group.
Ungroup State: Press the Sync Button for more than 10 seconds to detach the device from 3.
its network group.
Application Scenarios
Scenario 1: A BiPAC HomePlug AV device A wants to form a network group with another
BiPAC HomePlug AV device B
You can assign whichever device (A or B) to be in the Broadcast State and the other in the Join
State.
Example:
Press the Sync Button of device A for 1~3 seconds to turn it into Broadcast State, you should 1.
nd the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Broadcast state.
Press the Sync Button of device B for 1~3 seconds to turn it into Join State, you should nd 2.
the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Join state.
Wait for both devices to boot again (all LEDs will turn off and on) and when the PLC LEDs of 3.
both devices lit steadily, you will now have these devices being in the same network group.
Scenario 2: A BiPAC HomePlug AV device wants to join an existing network group BC
Device A wants to join a network group “BC” currently consisting of device B and device C. Any
devices within the “BC” group can become the “Broadcast State” and device A will be the “Join
State”.
Example:
Press the Sync Button of device A for more than 10 seconds to make sure that it is detached 1.
completely from any possible network group.
Press the Sync Button of device B or C of the BC network group for 1~3 seconds to turn it into 2.
Broadcast State, you should nd the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Broadcast
state.
16
Press the Sync Button of device A for 1~3 seconds to turn it into Join State, you should nd 3.
the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Join state.
Wait for the devices to boot again and when the PLC LEDs of both devices lit steadily, you 4.
will now have device A joined with the BC network group.
Scenario 3: A BiPAC HomePlug AV device A of network group AD wants to join an existing
network group BC
For a device which already belongs to a network group is to join with a different network group,
that device has to be ungrouped from its current attached group rst.
Example:
Press the Sync Button of device A for more than 10 seconds to ungroup it from network group 1.
AD.
Then press the Sync Button of device (B or C) of network group BC for 1~3 seconds to turn it 2.
to Broadcast State, you should nd the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Broadcast
state.
Press the Sync Button of device A again for 1~3 seconds to turn it to Join State, you should 3.
nd the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Join state.
Wait for the Sync LED of both devices A and (B or C) lit steadily. Now you will have device A 4.
join the network group BC.
