In-Home AV Network Topology
Corinex AV200 Powerline Ethernet Adapter
• Public Network - This is the default configuration of an In-Home network. If
the user does not want to configure its network, the network configuration
protocol will configure all nodes automatically. By default, all nodes are EPs
and have a public network ID. If the protocol does not detect an AP in the
channel, it will select an EP as automatic AP. All EPs will connect directly to
the automatic AP if they have direct visibility, or to an EP that will act as a
repeater. Then the network will be established.
• Private Network - To configure a private network (to ensure data privacy),
a network ID must be assigned to all nodes of the network using the
configuration tool. It is recommended to configure a node as a fixed AP (for
example the node with the video server or Internet access). If the fixed AP is
turned off or it is not defined by the user, the network configuration protocol
will select an EP to be transformed into an AP (automatic) to configure the
network.
4.2.1 Single-Network Scenarios
The following two sections show examples of a single In-Home AV network.
4.2.1.1 Local Area Network using two AV200 powerline adapters
The picture below shows a simple PLC (Powerline) network where two adapters
are used to make a local area connection available in all outlets of the house. This is
the simplest case, where no QoS (Quality of Service) configuration is required.
