After the installation is finished, the Setup Tool will start automatically. Refer to chapter
5.3 for further instructions.
5.2 Testing the Setup
To verify that the connection is working correctly, use the standard
Ping
utility. In
Windows, click on menu
Start -> Run
, then write the command
ping IPADDRESS -t
,
where IPADDRESS is the IP address of the computer to which the Router is connected
to, e.g.
ping 192.168.4.1 -t
(This command will be stopped by pressing keys
CTRL+C
).
•
Ping the IP address of the computer to which the Router is connected. If this fails,
there is a problem with the Ethernet network card or with the TCP/IP protocol.
•
Repeat the same process with the other computers on the Powerline network.
•
If all nodes can ping themselves, try pinging another Powerline device on the
network. If this fails, there is a problem with connections on the Powerline. Try to
check the connection to the AC outlet or use a different AC outlet.
•
If the setup does not work, refer to the troubleshooting guide, but first, try
unplugging the Powerline device and reboot the computer as this sometimes fixes
the problem.
5.3 Running the Setup Tool
The setup so far allows transmission of data encrypted with a universal key. To set your
private and personal encryption keys for the network, run the
Corinex Setup Tool
provided on the CD.
This prevents anyone from intercepting your transmitted data
.
The Setup Tool allows the user to setup a private and secure powerline network. Follow
the steps of this guide on the screen and your secure network will be set up correctly.
1. Make sure that your Corinex Wireless to Powerline Router G is connected to the
computer and start the Setup Tool from the
Start
menu by selecting the software
folder and select
Corinex Setup Tool
. The following screen will appear.
