Corinex AV200 Powerline Ethernet Adapter
3.4.5 Multicast Configuration
In order to optimize multicast traffic (video streams, etc.) between AV200 Powerline
adapters, you can specify which adapters you want to receive the traffic. Others
will then not be able to receive the multicast communication, and therefore the
bandwidth will be used only for transmission to the intended recipients, making your
broadcast, and overall network, more efficient.
This form shows the list of multicast bindings, where multicast IP addresses are
assigned to a unicast (stream source) MAC address. This list can be saved to the
adapter (Save in NVRAM). Moreover, you can remove bindings by checking their
Remove checkboxes and clicking
OK. Add a new binding to the list by entering the
multicast IP address, in decimal (ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd) format, and the unicast MAC
address, in hexadecimal (XXXXXXXXXXXX) format, in the appropriate fields,
and clicking OK.
3.4.6 VLAN Configuration
When AV200 Powerline adapters are used for ADSL extension, it is important for the
operator to be able to distinguish the type of traffic that each adapter is generating.
This is usually done by means of VLAN tagging. The AV200 technology includes the
ability to tag all traffic that enters the Powerline network through each adapter’s
Ethernet interface. It is only tagging - there is no VLAN filtering on an AV200
Powerline network.
The parameters for VLAN configuration can be set in the form displayed below.
First the Spirit VLAN can be enabled or disabled (Spirit VLAN Configuration select
box). If enabled, the VLAN tag (Spirit VLAN Tag field) and priority (Spirit VLAN Priority
field) can then also be configured.
