Appendix Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 

1.  The power indicator is not on. 

 

1)  Please check if the adapter is plugged into the 

power socket correctly

.   

2) 

   Try another power outlet to see if the one you are using is faulty

.   

3)  If the power indicator is still out after the above operations are performed, other indicators show 

normally, please consult the local dealers.   

2.  LAN (local area network) status indicator is out. 

 

1)  Please  check  if  the  adapter  network  interface  is  connected  to  computer's  Internet  access  or 

network access port.   

2)  Please  confirm  if  the  computer  network  cards  can  be  normally  used,  and  if  the  driver  and 

configuration parameters are normal.   

3)  Please confirm if you can access to the Internet normally, and if the LAN port which connects 

the 

computer directly to the router can connect 

to

 the Internet normally.   

4)  Connect the power line adapter to other LAN ports of the router.   

5)  If the LAN status indicator is still out after the above operations are performed, please consult 

the local dealers.   

3.  Power line device indicator is out. 

 

1)  Run  the  management  software,  and  click  Search  button  to  search  for  similar  devices  in  the 

main interface.  The management software will search for similar devices in the whole power 
line networks.   

2)  Plug two power line adapters into 

a multi plug

 to check if the power line device indicator 

will

light up.

 As the power outlets you are using may be on two different phases and the adapter 

   

   

  will not work across two phases.

       

3)  If the power line device indicator is still out after the above operations are performed, please 

       

consult the local dealers.   

        

4.  What’s the transmission distance of the power line adapter? 

 

       

The transmission distance of the 

PEA200

 series is up to 300 meters. 

        

5.  Can my neighbo

u

rs connect to my network? 

                 

      

 

No. Network home-entry usually has an ammeter that can block the signal of the power line 

           

adapter. If there is no ammeter, you can also prevent your neighbo

u

rs connecting to your 

           

network

 setting network name to encrypt data.

 

         

6.  Will the household appliances disturb the data transmission with power line adapter in the power 

         

line? 

 

        

The  use  of  household  appliances will  not  disturb  the  performance  of power line  adapter,  but 

          

plug-boards and chargers may influence it a lot. When you use it, try to plug the power line adapter 

          

into  the 

wall socket

and  avoid  using  chargers,  power  adapters  and  other  devices  within 

          

short 

distance.         

         

7.  Do we still need the traditional Modem when using the power line adapter?   

        

Yes. 

The 

Power line adapter is only used in LAN within families. In order to access to the internet,

        

 it 

needs to be connected through your broadband or traditional ADSL Modem.      

 

         

8.  Can we use a single power line adapter?   

        

No. At least two are required. One is for connecting with ADSL Modem or router LAN port, the 

         

other is for connecting with the computer. If there are two computers, it requires three adapters; if 

         

there are three computers, it requires four adapters, and so on.
