Connecting DHP-200 To Your Network

The DHP-200 is an excellent solution that can be used to extend your wireless

network. In the home or small ofce building, use a pair of DHP-200 Powerline

adapters to link two wireless remote locations without the need to run Ethernet

cables. Combined with a broadband Cable/DSL connection, every room with

electrical outlets will have easy access to the high-speed Internet connection.

Product LED description

This LED will light solid when the Powerline

network is functioning properly.

Powerline

Power

This LED will blink when there is Powerline activity.

Ethernet This LED will light solid when the DHP-200 has a

good link on the Ethernet port, and will blink when

there is Ethernet activity.

You can connect the DHP-200 directly to PC’s network adapter, switch, or any

other Ethernet enabled device. (Note: The Ethernet Port on the DHP-200 isAuto-

MDI/MDIX. Meaning you can use a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet

(CAT 5) cable when connecting to another Ethernet enabled device.)

For the D-Link Conguration Utility, connect the DHP-200 directly to a PC.

User Interface

Main Tab

The Main screen provides a list of all powerline devices logically connected to

the computer when the utility is running.

The top panel shows all local HomePlug connected to the computer’s NIC

(Network Interface Card). In most cases, only one device will be seen. In

situations where there are more than one local device being connected, such

as a USB or an Ethernet adapter, the user can select the local device by clicking

on it and then click the Connect button to its right. The status area above the

button indicates that your PC is connected to that same device. Once connected

to the local device, the utility will automatically scan the power line periodically

for any other HomePlug devices. If no local HomePlug devices are discovered,

the status area above the connect button will indicate with a message ‘NO

HomePlug ADAPTERS DETECTED’.

User Interface(continued)

Figure 2 , illustrates the presence

of two local HomePlug devices

connected locally to the computer.

The lower panel displays all

the HomePlug remote devices,

discovered on the current logical

network. The total number of remote

devices connected on the same

network can be found on top of the

remote device panel. The Network

type (Public or Private) is also

displayed based on the network

status of the local device. The scan

status option is displayed on the

top right corner above the Remote

devices panel showing whether the

auto scan functionality is turned ON

or OFF. The following information is

displayed for all devices that appear

in the lower panel.

Figure 2: Multiple Local Device Connection

Device Name column shows the default device name, which may be

user re-dened. A user can change the name by either

using the rename button or by clicking on the name and

editing in-place.

MAC Address column shows the Remote device’s MAC address.

Password column by default is blank and ‘Enter Password’

button can be used to enter it.

To set the Password of the device

(required when creating a private

network). First select the device

by clicking on its name in the lower

panel and then click on the Enter

Password button. A dialog box will

appear as shown in Figure 3 to

type the password. The selected

device name is shown above the

password eld and the password

can be veried by hitting the OK

button. The Password eld accepts

the Device password in any case

formats, with or without dashed

between them.

Figure 3: Set Device Password

User Interface(continued)

A conrmation box will appear if the password was entered correctly. If a device

was not found, the user will be notied along with the suggestions to resolve

common problems. This process might take a few seconds to get completed.

The Add button is used to add

a remote device to the existing

network by entering the device

password of the device. A dialog

box will appear as shown below in

Figure 4. The dialog box allows the

user to enter both a device name

and the password.

A conrmation box will appear if

the password was entered correctly

and if the device was found in the

powerline network. If a device was

not found, the user will be notied

and suggestions to resolve common

problems will be presented.

Figure 4: Add Remote Device

Notes: The device must be present on the power line (plugged in) in order for the

password to be conrmed and added to the network. If the device could not

be located, a warning message will be shown.

The Scan button is used to perform

an immediate search of the

HomePlug devices connected to

the Powerline network. By default,

the utility automatically scans every

few seconds and updates the

display screen.

A typical screen after naming and

supplying passwords might appear

as in Figure 5. Figure 5: Main Screen of the Conguration

User Interface(continued)

Privacy Tab

The Privacy screen provides the

user with an option to maintain

security for their logical network and

also to select the devices that has

to be included in the network. The

appearance is shown in Figure 6.

All HomePlug devices are shipped

using a default logical network

(network name), which is normally

“HomePlug”. The Privacy dialog

screen allows user to change to a

private network by changing the

network name (network password)

of devices.

Figure 6: Privacy Screen

The user can always reset to the HomePlug network (Public) by entering

“HomePlug” as the network name or by clicking on the Use Default button.

Notes: Changing the network name to anything other than HomePlug will show the

network type on the main screen as Private.

The Set Local Device Only button can be used to change the network name

(network password) of the local device. If a new network password is entered,

all the devices seen on the Main panel prior to this will be no longer present in

the new network, effectively making the local devices not to communicate to the

devices who were in the old logical network. Devices previously set up with the

same logical network (same network name) will appear in the device list afterward

selecting this option.

The Set All Devices button is used to change the logical network of all devices

that appear on the Main panel whose Device’s Password had been entered for

the same logical network. A dialog window will appear to report the success of this

operation. For devices whose device passwords were not entered, this operation

will fail and will report a failure message.

Diagnostics Tab

The Diagnostics screen shows

System information and a history of

all remote devices seen over a period

of time. The appearance is shown in

Figure 7.

The Upper panel shows technical data

concerning software and hardware

present on the host computer which

were used to communicate over

HomePlug on the Powerline network.

It shall include the following:
