Appendix A: Troubleshooting
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What’s the speed of the PL-420 operating over a standard home power
line network?
The PL-420 operates up to 85 Mbps bandwidth over a standard home power line
network.
2. What’s the Estimated Range of the PL-420?
Approximately 300 meters in wall power lines (one household).
3. Does PL-420 work in any home?
The PL-420 should work with copper wiring in any home. Since some of the older
houses built before 1950 might have older wiring, it may not work in this instance.
4. Does PL-420 signal pass through circuit breakers?
Yes, this device signal will have no problem pass through circuit breakers but not
through power transformers.
5. Does PL-420 work with AC input 100 – 240V?
Yes, this device works with AC input 100 – 240V.
6. Does PL-420 cause any interference with other home networking devices?
No, this device operates in a different frequency band than other power line
control devices and can co-exist with technologies as X-10, CEBus, and
LONworks.
7. Can my neighbor receive my PL-420 signal?
It is possible for your neighbor receive your PL-420 signal between two adjacent
homes. To prevent this happen, please enable the 56-bit DES security
encryption on your device. To do that, you must run the HomePlug Configuration
Utility on each Homeplug device in your power line network. This will only allow
computers with the same security password to be able to receive information.
8. How do I find out what’s my current speed and my signal strength of my
HomePlug device?
