NP285 Turbo HomePlug Ethernet over Power Adaptor

YML798 Rev1

Is there a risk that electromagnetic interference will be distributed all-over the

house, even to the neighbours, when using the NP285 Turbo HomePlug Ethernet

Adaptors?

The NP285 Turbo HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor is tested to the same norms as other electric

devices (C-Tick and EMR). The NP285 generates the same noise level as other electrical

equipment. The NP285 Turbo HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor does not produce any more

interference than a modern electric power drill.

House hold power circuits operate at 50Hz. Is it possible to achieve reasonable ping

times in the range of milliseconds?

The NP285 Turbo HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor doesn’t operate at the 50Hz alternating

frequency. It operates in the Megahertz (MHz) range. Hence the ping times are in the range

of msec.

Is the data carrier rate high enough for a conventional DSL connection?

The bandwidth of the NP285 Turbo HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor depends on the

interferences on your power cabling and of the quality of the electrical installation. It ranges

from 14 MBit to 85 MBit (a conventional DSL connection has 0.512 MBit download and

0.128 MBit upload rates). This is quite sufﬁcient for extending a DSL connection to all the

rooms in your house.

I have the impression, that the carrier rate, which is indicated by the Conﬁguration

Utility, are uncommonly low. Which values are in the realm of normality and what

can I do to boost the carrier rate?

Please remember that the carrier rate falls with increasing reach (up to 5000 square feet)

and the number of adapters installed. 10 adaptors are ideal. The maximum throughput that

the technology can support is about 85Mbits per second. A more common rate would be

~50Mbits.
To increase the data rate you should ensure that the NP285 Turbo HomePlug Ethernet

Adaptor is directly plugged into the wall socket. Do not use unnecessary extension cable or

multi sockets power boards if you wish to achieve maximum carrier rate.
If this cannot be avoided, please ensure that any multi socket power board do not have any

over-voltage or surge protector. This could impair or even inhibit data transmission. Plug in

the least number of devices as well.

In order to increase the distance of my NP285 Turbo HomePlug Ethernet Adapter

Network, I am looking for a HomePlug Ethernet repeater. Do you have such a

product?

You can increase the distance by combining two NP285 Turbo HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor

networks with two different network passwords. The repeater is built up by two standard

NP285 Turbo HomePlug Ethernet Adaptors, which you simply connect via an Ethernet RJ45

cable. Please note that physically you are still using one medium, this means the bandwidth

will be shared between both networks. You can repeat this procedure several times.
