What ArePowerline and HomePlug AV?
It’s an intelligent, safe technology that can be used to set up ahome network quickly,easily and affordably without installing expensive and inconvenient network cabling. However,you don’t have to sacrifice performance data and installation time as compared to traditional methods. Quite the opposite: With HomePlug AV,you can now achieve the same speeds as with other network technologies –but the installation is far simpler.
With HomePlug AV,the existing power network is used to transfer data between different com-puters and other network components that areconnected using suitable adapters. This turns every electrical socket into a network socket.The data is converted, modulated and sent to the power lines as asignal for transfer.Cutting-edge technology ensures that the power network and the data network don’t interferewith each other.Networking via HomePlug AV is also fast and secure. The information being transferred is encrypted with apasswordtoprevent thirdparties from accessing it.

Reducing power consumption with the integrated standby mode

• The standby mode is automatically activated whenever the adapter isn’t used for acertain amount of time. This reduces the power consumption considerably as compared to models without this mode. After all, your socket-based Powerline network should not only be convenient, but also use as little energy as possible.
• APowerline adapter that is connected to the computer can only go into power-saving mode if the network cardofthe computer that is switched off is also inactive. If you use anetwork cardthat remains active even when the computer is off (e.g. for Wake-on-LAN), we recommend connecting the computer to the power network using apower strip with an on/off switch so that both the computer and the integrated network cardare disconnected from the power supply.
• The Hama 600 Mbps Powerline adapter establishes asimple, fast connection via the internal po-wer network. Thanks to the simple plug-and-play technology,you can connect routers, computers and other network-capable devices to one another.
• Because the Socket model is equipped with an integrated electrical socket, you don’t have to give up any sockets to use it. Youcan attach additional terminal devices by connecting apower strip to the adapter.

Note -Child protection

• The device features an integrated child safety featuretoprotect any small children in your home. This featureprevents children from inserting sharp objects into the power connection and being injured by electric shocks.

Integrated electrical socket
If you connect other devices using apower strip, plug the power strip into the socket of the Hama Socket 600 Mbps Powerline adapter.The integrated mains filter eliminates any noise from the devices connected and significantly improves data transfers in your home network.

Encryption button
Youwill find the encryption button beneath the LED lights on the front of the Powerline adapter. In our case the button is displayed as Pair/RST. To getmoredetails about the encryption function, please check section 8.2 Encrypting your Powerline network.

Connecting the Hama 600 Mbps Powerline adapter

Warning

• Only operate the product from asocket that has been approved for the device.
• The socket must be installed close to the product and must be easily accessible.
• Disconnect the product from the power supply using the On/Off switch –ifthis is not available, unplug the power cordfromthe socket.
• If you will not be using the product for aprolonged period, disconnect it from mains power.

Connect the Powerline adapter to anetwork connection on your computer (computer must be switched on) or to another network device using the included network cable.
Connect the adapter to aproperly installed and easily accessible mains socket.
You can connect other devices to the power supply network using apower strip by plugging the power strip into the integrated socket of the Hama Socket 600 Mbps Powerline adapter.
After you have connected at least two Powerline 600 adapters as described, the setup for your Power-line network is complete. To protectyour Powerline network security,continue with the configuration. Youcan read more about this in the next section, Powerline Networks.

Security in the Powerline network

• Beforeyou can use the Hama 600 Mbps Powerline adapter in your Powerline network, you must first connect it to other Powerline devices to create ahome network. Twospecifictips areparti-cularly important here:
• Aclosed Powerline network is created through the use of acommon Powerline passwordfor access control. The common Powerline passwordisused for network encryption to prevent un-authorised access to the data being transferred.
• Youcan define the Powerline passwordautomatically using the encryption button.

Note

• The Hama 600 Mbps Powerline adapters come equipped with the HomePlug AV default encryption.

Warning

• Forreasons of security,weurgently recommend that you protect your Powerline network using the encryption button as soon as you have finished installing and starting it up. This generates an individualised 128-bit AES key that cannot be read outside the network and reliably protects your network from unauthorised external access.

Encrypting your Powerline network using the encryption button
To encryptaPowerline networkall connected devices needs to be equipped with an encryption button.

Note

• Encryption cannot be performed when the device is in standby mode.

Examples
Encrypting anew Powerline network with two Hama Socket 600 Mbps Powerline adapters.

Preperation:
After you have successfully connected the two adapters, it is needed to delete the standardpass-word. Push the security/reset button on your device for 10 seconds. (refer picturestep 3) All LED´s on the adapter will switch off for an view seconds and the adapter is rebooting then. Afterwards the DATA LED is still switched off.

Encryption of the devices.
To beginwith the encryption, please push the Security/Reset button for 2seconds on the first powerline adapter.The Power LED is now fulshing. Youhave an time-frame of 2minutes to push the same Secuirty/Reset button on the other powerline adapter.Now both adapters aretrying to apply an new security key.Please wait for another 5minutes to make surethe encrytpion are done. Check whether the power LED, network LED and DATA LED arelit on all the devices.
Your Powerline network is now protected.

Expanding an existing Powerline network by adding anew Hama 600 Mbps Powerline adapter If your existing Powerline network is already secured using the encryption button, you can proceed in the same way as describte in chapter 8.2 in order to integrate additonal adapters.

Removing aHama 600 Mbps Powerline adapter from your network. To remove aHama 600 Mbps Powerline adapter from an existing network, press and hold the encryption button of the adapter in question for at least 10 seconds. This device receives anew randomly generated passwordand is thereforeremoved from your network. To integrate it into another Powerline network later,proceed as described above, depending on whether you want to create anew network or expand an existing one.

Appendix

Bandwidth optimisation
To significantly improve your network’sdata transmission, we recommend that you observe the following connection guidelines: Plug the device straight into awall socket instead of apower strip. Youshould connect other network devices to the power supply network using apower strip by plugging the power strip into the integrated socket of the Hama Socket 600 Mbps Powerline adapter.Tomake optimal use of the Hama Socket 600 Mbps Powerline adapter’s filter function and improve data transfers in your network, always plug the power strip into the socket in the Hama Socket 600 Mbps Powerline adapter.Ifyou need to supply other devices with power,use a wall socket that is further away.
