Introduction / Powerline routing overview  
1
Introduction  
Congratulations! Thank you for choosing the Corinex Powerline Router.  
The Router allows you to set up a home or small business network to  
share your high-speed Internet connection using either Ethernet cabling or  
Powerline connection.  
1.1 Powerline Routing Overview  
The Corinex Powerline Router provides a convenient Internet access and  
distribution capability for broadband service providers and users alike,  
using any incoming high speed signal, whether by A/DSL, cable, satellite or  
fiber optics as access and the existing electrical wires as distribution media.  
This product enables multiple users in small to medium size offices  
and homes to share one broadband account and experience a high  
speed networking capability for data, voice, audio and video, without  
pulling new wires. The embedded Network Address Translation (NAT)  
feature enables the usage of a private set of IP addresses, which the Router  
translates into a single public IP address. The Router can also act as a DHCP  
server by automatically allocating a dynamic IP address to each piece of  
equipment, which connects by a communications port, like Ethernet, USB,  
PCI or 802.11b to the network. The Router has three LAN, one WAN 10/  
100M Ethernet and one powerline port. The Router can act as the "bridge"  
between the access side of the network and its specific wire requirements  
and the distribution side of the network, which uses the existing electrical  
wires to move the signals to every electrical outlet and makes those signals  
available to wired or portable devices. The Corinex Powerline Router  
supports the entirely new Corinex Powerline and CableLAN product family,  
which consists of:  
5
• Corinex Powerline Ethernet Adapter  
• Corinex Powerline USB Adapter  
• Corinex Ethernet Wall Mount  
• Corinex CableLAN Adapter  
• Corinex Wireless to Powerline Access Point  
The Router‘s connection to the electrical wires (powerline) is based upon  
the HomePlug 1.0.1 industry standard. This standard warrants a robust  
and reliable performance for all devices that have passed the HomePlug  
certification test and are connected to the network. The reliability is made

Corinex Powerline Router User Guide  
   
Powerline routing overview / Router Features  
possible by the use of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing  
(OFDM) technology. This multi-carrier modulation scheme allows devices  
to dynamically "surf the channel" – instantly shifting data from one carrier  
to another, looking for the least noise affected carrier to bring the signal  
to its destination.  
All Corinex Powerline and CableLAN products have been optimized for  
low-latency, high-reliability networking applications and use the HomePlug  
1.0.1 certified powerline networking technology, which supports data rates  
up to 14 Mbps. The Corinex Powerline Router also fully complies with the  
IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u 10/100M standard and offers static and dynamic  
IP routing mode operation, NAT, DHCP and IP filtering functionality. The  
Router supports a wide range of communications protocols and works  
seamlessly with all major access technologies, including A/DSL and Cable  
modems with PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) and/or Microsoft Peer-to-Peer  
Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), as well as "Direct Connection" type service. The  
Corinex Powerline Router has advanced firewalling features, which protect  
home/SOHO networks from unwanted access. Corinex Powerline Router  
uses 56-bit DES Encryption with key management for secured powerline  
communications applications.  
6
End user equipment which uses Corinex adapters to conect to the network  
can run on Windows 98/ME/2000/NT/XP, Linux and MAC operating systems  
and use the full range of the Routers networking features.  
1.2 Router Features  
The Corinex Powerline Router contains an HTTP server with web  
configurable SNMP powerline agent. This enables you to connect to it, and  
configure it, using your web browser. Every Corinex Powerline, CableLAN  
and Wireless product, no matter where it is located in the network, can  
be managed by the Corinex Open Powerline Management software or by  
using a web browser. Corinex offers a one-stop-shop experience and offers  
this for networking solutions in homes, apartments, condominiums, small  
to medium size offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, conference centers or  
shopping malls.

Step 1: Connecting the Router  
2.1 Step 1: Connecting the Router  
In this Step, you will connect the Corinex Powerline Router to your Internet  
connection (cable or DSL modem) and to the computers in your home or  
business sharing the Internet connection  
A. Connect your Internet connection (cable or DSL modem) to its proper  
connector—the coaxial jack for cable, or the phone jack for DSL (follow the  
instructions from your cable or DSL modem’s installation guide).  
B. Use the Ethernet cable that had been supplied as part of the shipment  
of your Corinex Powerline Router. Connect this Ethernet cable from the  
LAN or Ethernet port of the Internet connection (cable or DSL modem) to  
the WAN port of the Corinex Powerline Router.  
C. If you have the Ethernet connected computer, proceed to C1, if you have  
the Powerline connected computer proceed to C2  
C1. Use the Ethernet cable that had been used to connect your Internet  
connection (cable or DSL modem) to your computer. Connect this Ethernet  
cable to your computer’s Ethernet adapter. Connect the other end of the  
cable to the LAN port on the back of the Corinex Powerline Router.  
16  
Note: If your Computer’s Ethernet adapter is not set up, please refer to  
the Ethernet adapter’s user guide for more information.  
C2. Connect the AC power adapter to the Router. Connect the AC power  
adapter to the electrical outlet. Use only the power adapter supplied  
with the Router. Use of a different adapter may result in product  
damage!  
Note: If you want to use your Corinex Powerline Router to share your  
Internet connection also for Powerline connected computers, then this  
electrical outlet will be used for communication with other powerline  
connected computers.  
Turn on the Internet connection (cable or DSL modem). Then turn on the  
computer you wish to use to configure the Router.

Step 2: Configuring Computer  
2.2 Step 2: Configuring Computers  
The instructions in this chapter will help you to configure each of your  
computers to be able to communicate with the Corinex Powerline Router.  
This process differs between Ethernet connected computers and Powerline  
connected computers, and also differs between different operating  
systems.  
If you have an Ethernet connected computer, proceed to B, if you have a  
Powerline connected computer proceed to A.  
A. We advise you to read and use the Manual of your Powerline Adapter  
to establish a Powerline connection between the Corinex Powerline Router  
and the Powerline Adapter. Use the default Powerline (NEK) password  
"HomePlug", as this is the factory default password setting for the Corinex  
Powerline Router. When you are using the Corinex Setup Tool to configure  
your powerline adapter, you can check, whether your Adapter has a  
powerline connection to the Corinex Powerline Router by searching in the  
last window of the Corinex Setup Tool for the MAC address of the Router.  
You will find the MAC address of your Corinex Powerline Router on the  
label on the bottom of the Router’s plastic cover (MAC PLC/SN). Proceed  
to B.  
17  
Fig.2.2 Corinex Setup Tool  
B. Next you will need to configure your TCP/IP settings so that your  
computer will obtain an IP (or TCP/IP) address automatically (called DHCP).  
Computers use IP addresses to communicate with each other across a  
network or the Internet.

4 Appendix A: Troubleshooting  
4.1 Corinex Product Support  
You may contact the Corinex "help desk" by sending an e-mail to:  
- describing your problem  
- reporting the devices types and manufacturing numbers of your  
network devices  
- giving us a phone number under which you may be reached, inclusive a  
convenient time to call.  
4.2 Troubleshooting Guide  
Computer networking can sometimes be "tricky" when many components  
must work together for the ultimate network system to function properly.  
With the right tools the problems are usually easy to fix. The following  
tools, available on your computer or on the Corinex CD, will get you  
started.  
83  
• Setup Tool (from the Corinex Powerline Router Installation CD)  
• Ping (from the command/terminal prompt, see chapter 6)  
• ipconfig (WinNT/2000/XP), winipcfg (Win9x/Me) (from the command  
prompt)  
If it just doesn’t work...  
1. Check that the power LED on the Powerline side labeled LINK (L) on all  
devices are on, if not:  
• Check the AC cables.  
• Make sure the AC outlet is working by plugging something else into it.  
If this works, try another outlet. If this fails as well, try 2. – 4.  
2. Check the Ethernet cables:  
The Corinex Powerline Router has a LED on the Ethernet side labeled  
Link/Act. If it is not on:  
• Check if the device at the other end of the Ethernet cable is switched  
on.  
• Try a different Ethernet cable.

Corinex Powerline Router User Guide  
     
Troubleshooting Guide  
3. Check that the devices exist on the network:  
Start the Setup Tool, click "Next" and see if all devices on your network are  
found. If all devices are listed, skip this section. If a device is missing:  
• Make sure all computers have only one active network slot.  
• Make sure the Corinex Powerline Adapters are plugged straight into the  
power socket.  
• Unplug all Corinex Powerline Adapters and plug them back in again, one  
by one. Run the Setup Tool again.  
• The devices may be programmed with different passwords. Setup all  
devices with a new password as described in the chapter 3.9.  
4. Check that TCP/IP detects the Corinex Powerline Adapters:  
From the command prompt, run ping and type the computer name or IP  
address of the computer you are working on [ping your computer name].  
This should return 4 good packets. Now try to ping another computer on  
the network. If a timeout occurs:  
• Go into the TCP/IP properties and check that the buttons for automatically  
obtaining IP addresses and gateway are checked. If not, make sure that  
both computers are on the same subnet.  
• Run ipconfig/all from the command prompt on all computers to verify  
that all computers have valid IP addresses on the same subnet.  
• The IP tables may be corrupted, reboot all computers and try again.  
If these tests work, you have basic connectivity and can use all network  
services. If this does not work, you may have a faulty device. Please contact  
your reseller or local distributor.  
84  
I have got all that, it still doesn’t work...  
• Make sure that your TCP/IP settings are set to automatically obtaining IP  
address and gateway address.  
• Switch off all computers and unplug the Powerline devices, now plug  
your Powerline Adapter back into power socket before switching on your  
computer. This will ensure that the computer’s IP address will be obtained  
from the Router.  
• Now open the web browser, if the "Not Found" page appears, try to  
check your LAN settings in the Internet Options of your web browser.  
It works but it is slow...  
A slow connection is almost always due to poor cable connection.  
• Make sure the device is connected straight into the power outlet and  
not into a extension.

10BaseT - An Ethernet standard that uses twisted wire pairs. 100BaseTX  
- IEEE physical layer specification for 100 Mbps over two pairs of Category  
5 UTP or STP wire.  
1000BASE-T - A 100 Mbps technology based on the Ethernet/CD network  
access method. Provides half-duplex (CSMA/CD) and full-duplex 1000  
Mbps Ethernet service over Category 5 links as defined by ANSI/TIA/EIA-  
568-A. Topology rules for 1000BASE-T are the same as those used for  
100BASE-T. Category 5 link lengths are limited to 100 meters by the  
ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A cabling standard. Only one CSMA/CD repeater will be  
allowed in a collision domain.  
Adapter - Printed circuit board that plugs into a PC to add capabilities or  
connectivity to a PC. In a networked environment, a network interface card  
(NIC) is the typical adapter that allows the PC or server to connect to the  
intranet and/or Internet.

for voluntary standards groups within the United States. ANSI is a member  
of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).  
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) - This is  
the code that most computers use to represent displayable characters. An  
ASCII file is a straightforward text file without special control characters.  
Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) - A new standard for  
transmitting at speeds up to 7 Mbps over a single copper pair.  
Auto-negotiate - To automatically determine the correct settings. The  
term is often used with communications and networking. For example,  
Ethernet 10/100 cards, hubs, and switches can determine the highest  
speed of the node they are connected to and adjust their transmission rate  
accordingly.

channel, in terms of how much data the facility can transmit in a fixed  
amount of time; expressed in bits per second (bps). 2. The difference  
between the highest and lowest frequencies of a band that can be passed  
by a transmission medium without undue distortion, such as the AM band  
535 to 1705 kilohertz.  
Baseband - Transmission scheme in which the entire bandwidth, or data-  
carrying capacity, of a medium (such as a coaxial cable) is used to carry  
a single digital pulse, or signal, between multiple users. Because digital  
signals are not modulated, only one kind of data can be transmitted at a  
time. Contrast with broadband.  
Baud (Bite at Unit Density) - A measure of the speed of transmission of  
data; number of elements transmitted per second.  
Bit – A binary digit. The value 0 or 1 used in the binary numbering system.

group of adjacent binary digits, usually 8, often used to represent a single  
character.  
Cable Modem - A device that connects a computer to the cable television  
network, which in turn connects to the Internet. Once connected, cable  
modem users have a continuous connection to the Internet. Cable modems  
feature asymmetric transfer rates: around 36 Mbps downstream (from the  
Internet to the computer), and from 200 Kbps to 2 Mbps upstream (from  
the computer to the Internet).  
Caching – 1. Speeds information processing by storing information from  
a transaction to use for later transactions. 2. Storing or buffering data  
in a temporary location, so that an application program can retrieve the  
information quickly.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) -A  
channel access mechanism wherein devices wishing to transmit first check  
the channel for a carrier. If no carrier is sensed for some period of time,  
devices can transmit. If two devices transmit simultaneously, a collision  
occurs and is detected by all colliding devices, which subsequently delays  
their retransmissions for some random length of time. CSMA/CD access is  
used by Ethernet /IEEE 802.3 and HomePlug.

communications is based on dividing the transmitted message into  
packets. For example, an Ethernet packet can be from 64 to 1518 bytes in  
length.  
Default Gateway - The routing device used to forward all traffic that is not  
addressed to a station within the local subnet.  
Demodulation - Opposite of modulation; the process of retrieving data  
from a modulated carrier wave.  
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that lets  
network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment  
of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization’s network. Using  
the Internet’s set of protocol (TCP/IP), each machine that can connect to  
the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its  
computer users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be  
assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered  
manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location  
in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP  
lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a  
central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer  
is plugged into a different place in the network. DHCP uses the concept  
of a "lease" or amount of time that a given IP address will be valid for a  
computer. The lease time can vary depending on how long a user is likely  
to require the Internet connection at a particular location. It’s especially  
useful in education and other environments where users change frequently.  
Using very short leases, DHCP can dynamically reconfigure networks in  
which there are more computers than there are available IP addresses.  
DHCP supports static addresses for computers containing Web servers that  
need a permanent IP address.  
89  
DMZ - (DeMilitarized Zone) allows one IP address (or computer) to be  
exposed to the Internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP ports  
to be open. It is recommended that you set your computer with a static IP  
address if you want to use DMZ Hosting.

transmit.  
DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum) - DSSS generates a redundant  
bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip  
(or chipping code). The longer the chip, the greater the probability that  
the original data can be recovered. Even if one or more bits in the chip  
are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in the  
radio can recover the original data without the need for retransmission. To  
an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is  
rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers.

Dynamic IP Address - An IP address that is automatically assigned to  
a client station in a TCP/IP network, typically by a DHCP server. Network  
devices that serve multiple users, such as servers and printers, are usually  
assigned static IP addresses.  
Dynamic Routing - The ability for a Router to forward data via a different  
route based on the current conditions of the communications circuits. For  
example, it can adjust for overloaded traffic or failing lines and is much  
more flexible than static routing, which uses a fixed forwarding path.

Appendix C: How to Ping your ISP’s E-mail and Web address  
6 Appendix C: How to Ping your ISP’s E-mail  
and Web addresses  
Virtually all Internet addresses are configured with words or characters  
(e.g., www.corinex.com, www.yahoo.com, etc.). In actuality, however,  
these Internet addresses are assigned to IP addresses, which are the true  
addresses on the Internet. For example, www.corinex.com is actually  
81.0.193.56 at the time of producing this User Guide. Type it into your web  
browser and you will end up at the Corinex home page every time.  
There are servers that translate the URL to an IP address; these are called  
Domain Name System (DNS) Servers. IP and web addresses, however, can  
sometimes be long and hard to remember. Because of this, certain ISPs  
will shorten their server addresses to single words or codes on their users’  
web browser or e-mail configurations. If your ISP’s email and web server  
addresses are configured with single words (www, e-mail, home, pop3,  
etc.) rather than whole Internet addresses or IP addresses, the Router may  
have problems sending or receiving mail and accessing the Internet. This  
happens because the Router has not been configured by your ISP to accept  
their abbreviated server addresses.  
99  
The solution is to determine the true web addresses behind your ISPs code  
words. You can determine the IP and web addresses of your ISP’s servers  
by "pinging" them.  
Important: If you don’t have your ISP’s web and e-mail IP addresses,  
you must either get them from your ISP or follow these steps prior to  
connecting your Corinex Powerline Router to your network.  
6.1 Step One: Pinging an IP Address  
The first step to determining your ISP’s web and e-mail server address is to  
ping its IP address.  
1. Power on the computer and the cable or DSL modem, and restore  
the network configuration set by your ISP if you have changed it.  
2. Click Start, then Run, and type command. This will bring up the  
DOS window.  
3. At the DOS command prompt, type ping corinex.com(assuming

Corinex Powerline Router User Guide  
   
Step Two: Pinging for a Web Address  
that the location for which you’re trying to find an IP address is  
configured as corinex.com). Press Enter. Information such as the  
following data, taken from a ping of Microsoft Network’s e-mail  
server, will be displayed.  
Fig. 6.1 Pinging  
4. Write down the IP address returned by the ping command. (In  
the example above: 81.0.193.56). This IP address is the actual IP  
address of the server mail, or any other word or value you have  
pinged.  
100  
6.2 Step Two: Pinging for a Web Address  
While the IP address returned above would work as your e-mail server  
address, it may not be permanent. IP addresses change all the time. Web  
addresses, however, usually don’t. Because of this, you’re likely to have  
fewer problems by configuring your system with web addresses rather  
than IP addresses. Follow the instructions below to find the web address  
assigned to the IP address you just pinged.  
1. At the DOS command prompt, type ping -a 81.0.193.56, where  
81.0.193.56 is the IP address you just pinged. Information such as  
the following data will be displayed.  
Fig. 6.2 Pinging

Corinex Powerline Router User Guide  
 
Step Two: Pinging for a Web Address  
2. Write down the web address returned by the ping command (In  
the example in Figure 6.3 corinex.com is the web address). This  
web address is the web address assigned to the IP address you just  
pinged. While the IP address of mail could conceivably change, it  
is likely that this web address will not.  
Fig. 6.3 Pinging  
3. Replace your ISP’s abbreviated server address with this extended  
web address in the corresponding Internet application (web  
browser, e-mail application, etc.).  
101  
Once you have replaced the brief server address with the true server  
address, the Router should have no problem accessing the Internet  
through that Internet application.
