1. In multi network scenarios such as the one depicted in the picture above there is a new entity called the QoS controller The QoS controller s role is to assign channel access to the different networks The QoS controller acts at the same time as the AP of one of the networks In the presence of several networks the coexistence protocol automatically selects one of the APs as the QoS controller 4 2 2 1 Two Networks on Different Circuits If two In Home AV networks are configured with no direct visibility between any of the adapters belonging to different networks then these two networks will behave as two independent networks Both APs will act as QoS controllers 4 2 2 2 Two Networks on the Same Circuit Different networks are defined by different network IDs If two In Home AV networks are configured as public networks the coexistence protocol will act as if there were only one network The network ID is transmitted by every adapter to communicate the existence of its network If an adapter with network ID A receives network ID B then it knows that there are at least two networks sharing the channel For example one In Home AV network is configured and running A second network is configured and becomes active Then the second network will notify the first network of its existence in some specified access slots and both networks will automatically be reconfigured and will share the channel If both networks are configured at t2. for set static IP addresses DHCP if the device receives an address from the server IP Address Shows the current IP Address of the adapter Subnet Mask Shows the subnet mask Default Gateway IP Address Shows the Default Gateway Corinex GameNet Adapter Configuration PHY Status Notches Indicates whether or not frequency notches are enabled notches should always be enabled in order to eliminate interference with Radio Amateur bands specified by the local authorities Power Control Indicates status of the power control mechanism described in chapter 3 4 4 IGMP Aware Multicast Syndication Shows the status of the IGMP settings described in chapter 3 4 5 Multicast Bindings Shows all multicast bindings between multicast IP Addresses and AV200 Powerline MAC addresses VLAN Status VLAN Configuration Indicates whether or not VLAN virtual networking is enabled VLAN Tag Shows the selected VLAN Tag All traffic from the ethernet port carries this tag VLAN Priority Shows the selected priority which is inserted into the VLAN tag Corinex GameNet Adapter Configuration Priority Status Default Priority Shows the default priority for traffic transmission Criterion amp 2 Shows which criteria are used to classify traffic This can be TOS 802 Ip or Custom If Custom the complete parameters displayed below Please see chapter 3 4 7 for additional information Security Status

Corinex GameNet 22 Adapter Configuration 3 4 6 VLAN Configuration When AV200 Powerline wall mount F 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 port 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 checkbox If enabled the VLAN tag Spirit WLAN Tag field and priority Spirit VLAN Priority field can then also be configured VLAN Configuration Configuration Disabled Tag 2 3 4094 0 VLAN Priority 0 3 4 7 Priority Configuration It is possible to configure the VPI LED the upper one The LED shows the quality of the network connection to other AV200 devices There are two configurable speed markers The adapter simply reads the network speed and changes the color of the VPI LED according to these markers The default values are 6 Mbps and 12 Mbps The behavior of the LED is described in the table below VPI OFF Standby Adapter is in Standby mode If Powerline link Estimated application Throughput T
