Corinex AV200 Powerline Ethernet Adapter
The AV200 technology supports multiple networks on a single electrical circuit. The
networks are differentiated by Network Identifiers, which can be set in the MAC
section. The Network Identifier is a character string (Network Identifier field) which
simply acts as a name for the network. It must be the same value for all adapters
on the same network. Adapters with different Network Identifiers are not able to
communicate with each other.
Note: Please refer to section 4.2 for more information about the network
types and their Network Identifiers.
In case of a null string (i.e. the Network Identifier field left blank), the default
publicly available network is configured, and the adapter can communicate with any
other adapter which also has a blank Network Identifier field. Otherwise, a private
network is configured.
The following picture shows an example of two AV200 networks with different
Network Identifiers.
Data transmission between adapters (modems, in the picture) is encrypted with
a Triple-DES algorithm. The Encryption Key can be configured from a character
string (Encryption Key field), which is actually a passphrase. The three 56-bit keys
for Triple-DES encryption are obtained from this passphrase by means of a hash
function. Entering a null string (leaving it blank) disables the encryption. After
entering a passphrase, click OK to confirm your choice.
Note: The encryption will be enabled only if a non-empty Network Identifier
is set.
