1. Introduction
Congratulations to your choice of
Corinex Wireless to Powerline Router G.
The Router
allows you to set up a home or small business network to share your high-speed
Internet connection using either Ethernet cabling, Powerline or Wireless connection.
1.1 Powerline Routing Overview
The
Corinex Wireless to Powerline Router G
provides a convenient Internet access and
distribution capability for broadband service providers and users alike, using any
incoming high speed signal, whether by A/DSL, cable, satellite or fiber optics as access
and using the existing electrical wires as distribution media.
This product enables
multiple users in small to medium size offices and homes to share one broadband
account and experience a high speed networking capability for data, voice, audio
and video, without pulling new wires
. The embedded Network Address Translation
(NAT) feature enables the usage of a private set of IP addresses, which the Router
translates into a single public IP address. The Router can also act as a DHCP server by
automatically allocating a dynamic IP address to each piece of equipment, which
connects by a communications port, like Ethernet, USB, 802.11b or 802.11g to the
network. The Router has four LANs 10/100M, one WAN 10/100M Ethernet, one
powerline port and one Wireless 802.11b/g port. The Router can act as the "bridge"
between the access side of the network and its specific wire requirements and the
distribution side of the network, which uses the existing electrical wires to move the
signals to every electrical outlet and makes those signals available to wired or portable
devices or uses the wireless type of connection also. The
Corinex Wireless to Powerline
Router G
supports the Corinex Powerline and CableLAN product family, which include:
• Corinex Powerline Ethernet Adapter
• Corinex Powerline USB Adapter
• Corinex Powerline Ethernet Wall Mount
• Corinex Powerline Dual Ethernet Wall Mount
• Corinex CableLAN Adapter
• Corinex Powerline Router
• Corinex Wireless to Powerline Access Point
The Router‘s connection to the electrical wires (powerline) is based upon the HomePlug
1.0 industry standard. This standard warrants a robust and reliable performance for all
HomePlug certified devices connected to the network. The reliability is made
possible by
the use of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology. This
multi-carrier modulation scheme allows devices to dynamically "surf the channel" –
instantly shifting data from one carrier to another, looking for the least noise affected
carrier to bring the signal to its destination. All Corinex Powerline and CableLAN
products have been optimized for low-latency, high-reliability networking applications
and use the HomePlug certified Powerline networking technology, which supports data
rates up to 14 Mbps.
