Introduction                                                   Powerline Communication (PLC) technology uses the existing powerline infrastructure to transfer high-speed data, eliminating the need for expensive and complicated cable installation. Because the home or office is already a ‘wired network’ through powerlines, Xeline’s PLC system offers a cost-effective and easy-to-install Internet access solution from any electrical outlet.    Xeline’s SU-200B is the PLC Slave Unit of the 24Mbps XPAS-200A PLC Internet Access System, and is designed to enable the end-user to instantly access the Internet or home network from any electrical outlet in the home or office. One SU-200B is needed for each PC or device that you wish to connect to the network. Due to the smooth and high quality of data communication, the SU-200B can also be used with various application equipment to provide value-added services such as VoPL (Voice over Powerlines) and video conferencing.  The XPAS-200B system supports both Master/Slave or Ad-hoc topology and is based on Xeline's proprietary Cell-structured MAC (CMAC), which offers virtually unlimited number of nodes per physical network. Remote configuration and firmware upgrade are also supported for efficient setup and maintenance of the PLC units in mass-usage environments.

Trouble Shooting                                                        Problem Checklist The POWER LED does not activate. Check if the power cable is firmly plugged into the SU-200B and power outlet.   The ACT and SYNC LEDs do not activate. This can occur when the PLC link is not possible or the channel conditions are poor.   Try plugging the SU-200B directly into a wall outlet. (When using a power strip, the other connected electrical appliances can affect the performance of the SU-200B.) The LAN LED does not activate. Check if the RJ-45 cable is firmly plugged into the SU-200B and the NIC of the PC. Check if the NIC connection is disabled in the Local Area Network window.   Pinging to the default Gateway IP is unsuccessful. ① Check for typos in the ping command. ② Check if the Gateway IP address is correct. ③ Check the IP configuration of the subscriber’s PC. ④ If the IP configuration is correct, the problem lies in the ISP backbone. Check if it is possible to ping to a gateway at another location. The IP address does not appear correctly in the ‘ipconfig /all’ command prompt window.   (1) DHCP IP Address ① Open the command prompt window. Type ‘ipconfig /renew’.② Type ‘ipconfig /all’ to recheck the IP address. (2) Fixed IP Address ① Reconfigure the IP settings according the manual. ② Type ‘ipconfig /all’ to recheck the IP address.  If the problem is still not solved, please contact Xeline’s Technical Support Center.
