Getting Intimate with your Powerline Device  
Before installing your powerline networking device, please take a moment  
to examine and familiarize yourself with it. Below is a diagram of the  
PL9920-BBR along with a brief description of what each LED and port rep-  
resent.  
The front panel of the router has a number of LEDs indicating the status of  
the device, their functions are:  
PWR: Steady light indicates the device is powered up.  
RDY: Flashes quickly after the router is powered up. When the router  
is ready to use, the LED flashes every second to indicate the router is  
functioning normally. If the LED stops flashing or flashes more rapidly  
an error has occurred. Refer to the troubleshooting section for help.  
LINK: One or more powerline devices have been detected on the net-  
work.  
ACT: Traffic indicator on the powerline network (will flash occasional-  
ly even if no powerline device is connected).  
WAN/LAN 1-4 10/100M: If LED is on, the connected device is a  
100 Mbps device.  
WAN/LAN 1-4 LINK/ACT: Steady light shows a device connected  
to the port. Flashes when traffic on the port is detected.

LAN Side and WAN Side  
The router creates a divider between the Internet (WAN side) and your  
computers on the Local Area Network (LAN side). The router uses a  
Firewall to protect the computers on your LAN from all other computers  
connected to the Internet.  
LAN Side Setup Guide  
There are two parts of the software setup, first to get all equipment on the  
LAN working with the router and then to get the router to connect to the  
Internet. The connection of a local computer to the router is required first,  
so that will be the first step.  
The setup will be simplest if automatic IP address assignment (DHCP) is  
used. To find out if DHCP is enabled, follow these steps depending on oper-  
ating system:

Router Setup Guide  
If the computer is connected to the router using a powerline network  
device, the encryption password must be identical on both the router and  
the powerline device connected to the computer. This can be achieved in  
two ways:  
• If the utility supplied with your powerline device supports remote  
encryption key settings, use this feature to set the router password to  
the same as the local powerline device password.  
• If the utility supplied with your powerline device does not support  
remote encryption key settings, then you will need to manually set the  
router password to match the local powerline device password.  
• If a computer is connected directly to the router using an Ethernet  
cable, the computer will not need to do any encryption setup.  
If your computer has been previously connected to the Internet  
• If the computer has been used previously to share Internet access  
using a proxy server, this must be disabled first.  
• If the PC has a ‘Dial Up Manager’ enabled to connect to the Internet,  
this must also be disabled.  
Connection to the router using a web interface:  
1) Open a web browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape) and enter the  
router’s default address: 192.168.8.1 in the Address field, as shown below  
and press ‘Enter.’

Clone MAC Address  
Some ISPs and other services on the web uses MAC address authentication  
for their service, when a service is established, you give your MAC address  
to the company you are connecting to, when you log on to their server, the  
server checks the MAC address of your computer to verify your identity and  
service will be denied if the MAC address is different. If you install a router,  
the computers on the Internet will see the router MAC address, and since  
it is different from your computer’s MAC address, identity checks will fail.  
Using MAC cloning will give the router the MAC address of your computer,  
and any server on the Internet will pass the identity checks.  
Restart System  
Restart the router.  
Router LAN Setup Guide  
The built in DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to all connect-  
ed computers, this is the best setup for most networks.  
If a different range of IP addresses are required, enter the router setup  
page and click the ‘LAN’ button. The router IP address and range of IP  
addresses that the router provides to other computers can be entered here.  
If a static IP address is needed, disable DHCP and click the ‘More’ button.  
This allows a fixed IP address to be associated with a MAC address.

Advanced Tab Setup Guide  
Access Control  
The router can automatically block packets that are commonly used when  
attempting to access a computer maliciously. It is a good idea to set up  
these filters. However, somtimes it is necessary to allow certain packets to  
use other Internet Services and the filtering of these packets must be  
removed. When this feature is enabled, you will be allowed to block up to  
eight (8) ports on the router.  
MAC Filter  
The MAC Filter function allows listing of MAC addresses of computers that  
are not allowed Internet access, but can communicate with other comput-  
ers on the local network.  
Service Time  
To only allow Internet access certain hours of the day, or for a certain peri-  
od of time only, the router can be set up to automatically control access  
and automatically switch Internet access off after a given time.  
URL Blocking  
A list of web addresses, up to eight (8) addresses, or words being a part of  
a web address, can be provided to the router and it will not connect the  
web sites in this list.

Asoka™ PlugLink™ PL Cable/DSL Router Manual  
Virtual Server  
The router normally protects all computers on the local network from out-  
side access. The Virtual Server function will forward all traffic on a certain  
port to a specified IP address. This is necessary to connect to web servic-  
es like NetMeeting.  
DMZ (De-Militarized Zone)  
DMZ disables the protection the router firewall provides and opens the  
specified computer completely for Internet access. This is dangerous as  
hackers may get access to data on your computer, but enables services like  
Internet Gaming and Audio/Video Conferencing that might otherwise be  
blocked by the router.  
Dynamic DNS  
Maintaining a web site is difficult if the computer is not on a static IP WAN  
address. The Dynamic DNA function allows a web address to be associat-  
Troubleshooting Guide  
A computer network contains many separate pieces of software and hard-  
ware that must work together for the network to operate. If any part of the  
network does not work, the first step is to reset all networked devices to  
give the equipment a clean start.
