Simple Installation
Congratulations on your purchase of the PlugLAN 8350 Wireless
SmarTAP.
One of the major hassles in setting up a network is installing,
pulling, or rerouting Ethernet cables. Your PlugLAN 8350 Wireless
SmarTAP is a plug-and-play solution that uses HomePlug Powerline
technology to create a wireless hotspot simply by plugging it into a
PlugLAN-enabled power outlet. Data can be delivered quickly and
securely at speeds up to 85 Mbps.
The PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP combines robust performance
with advanced security and network management functionalities.
Built-in data encryption and VLAN capabilities ensure security and
privacy to every client. Each device can be controlled either
independently or by using Asoka's PowerView™ management
software.
These intelligent powerline bridging devices are fully plug-andplay, giving the PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP the perfect
combination of functionality and convenience
Your PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP has four light-emitting diode
(LED) indicators and one RJ-45 Ethernet port.
•
The LEDs show the connection status as well as other
information, allowing you to identify network problems.
•
The RJ-45 Ethernet port can be used to connect your PlugLAN
8350 Wireless SmarTAP to a device in your network.
Please take a few minutes to read this chapter to install your
PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP.

How the PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP Fits into Your
Network
The PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP plugs into an ordinary power outlet to
extend a cable or DSL broadband connection or existing Ethernet (LAN)
network to any electrical outlet in any room. Your PlugLAN 8350 Wireless
SmarTAP is compatible with all TCP/IP-based operating systems and requires
no new cabling or drivers to be installed. All that is required is a compatible
network-interface card (NIC) installed in your computers. This makes your
PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP compatible with any device including
Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, and Unix machines.
Devices can communicate with each other quickly and securely at high data
transfer rates (additional Turbo Powerline devices such as the Asoka® PlugLAN
8950 Gateway may be necessary — please contact Asoka for more
information).
For security, your PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP is equipped with 56-bit
Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption. The combination of the privacy
of the home power grid plus encryption makes your PlugLAN 8350 Wireless
SmarTAP significantly more secure than wireless products.
Figure 1-2 shows an example of how your PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP fits
into your network.

Troubleshooting
This chapter contains troubleshooting suggestions you will find
helpful in the unlikely event you encounter a problem with your
PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP.
Troubleshooting
PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP Installation and User’s Guide
3–1
PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP is Not Working
1. Confirm that the PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP is plugged into a working
AC outlet.
2. Plug a device that is known to work (such as a lamp) into the outlet to
confirm that the outlet is working.
3. Verify that the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can
inadvertently remove power from the outlet.
4. Verify that your PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP has a properly configured
password (NEK) that corresponds to the NEK of a PlugLAN Gateway or
Expansion Adapter on your Powerline network (see Changing the
Powerline Network Password (Network Encryption Key – NEK) on page
2-18).
Wireless Connections are Not Working
1. Use the Web Management utility to confirm that the PlugLAN 8350
Wireless SmarTAP’s wireless operation is enabled (see Configuring Basic
Settings on page 2-12).
2. Verify that the ESSID configured for the PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP is
correct (see Configuring Basic Settings on page 2-12).
3. See whether an event was generated in the system log (see Viewing
System Logs on page 2-6).
You Cannot Access the Web Management Utility
1. If you changed the default IP address of the Web Management utility,
enter the new IP address in your Web browser to access the Web
Management utility and make sure your PC is on the same subnet as your
PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP.
2. If you restored your configuration from a binary configuration file (see
Restoring Backup Settings on page 2-10), enter the IP address associated
with the configuration file.
Web Management Utility Times Out Too Quickly
By default, the Web Management utility remains open for 3 minutes. If you
want to change this time interval, change the auto-logout time on the System
Password page (see Changing the Auto-Logout Time on page 2-6).
One of the LEDs Does Not Behave as Expected
1. Be sure you understand the normal behavior of the LED (see Appendix B).
2. Disconnect and reconnect the PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP to the AC
outlet.
3. If the problem continues, please contact Asoka Technical Support (see
Technical Support on page iii).

Troubleshooting
PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP Installation and User’s Guide
You Forgot the Login Password
1.
The default case-sensitive password is welcome. You can change this
password to one that is more meaningful using the Web Management utility.
For more information, see Changing the Login Password on page
2-5.
2.
If you forget the password, return the PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP
to its factory default settings (see Returning to Factory Default Settings
on page 2-8).
3.
Alternatively, you can use a thin object (such as a paper clip) to press the
recessed Reset button on the bottom of the PlugLAN 8350 Wireless
SmarTAP for at least 10 seconds. This switch is located to the left of the
RJ-45 jack, as shown in Figure 3-1.
CAUTION! If you return the PlugLAN 8350 Wireless SmarTAP to
factory default settings, the Adapter discards all custom settings
you set and returns to the settings that were in effect when you
removed the bridge from the box.
NOTE: All Powerline devices on your Powerline network must use the same
password (NEK). If you encounter a problem, please contact Asoka
Technical Support (see Technical Support on page iii).

Warranty
Asoka warrants that (a) the hardware components of the product will be free
from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for one (1) year
from the date of purchase when used within the limits set forth in the
Specifications section of the User’s Guide, and (b) the software components will
perform substantially in accordance with Asoka's published specifications for
ninety (90) days from the date of purchase, but does not warrant that the
software will be error-free or free of all defects.
Should a product fail to perform as described in the User’s Guide within the
warranted period, it will be repaired or replaced with the same or functionally
equivalent product by Asoka, at its discretion, free of charge provided that you:
(a) return the failed product to an Asoka designated repair facility with shipping
charge prepaid, and (b) provide Asoka with proof of the original date of purchase.
Repaired or replacement products will be returned to you with shipping charges
prepaid. Asoka warrants any replaced or repaired product or component for 90
days or the remainder of the initial warranty period, whichever is longer.
Replacement products may be refurbished or contain refurbished materials or
components. If Asoka, by its sole determination, is unable to restore the product
to proper operating condition, it will refund the depreciated purchase price of
the product.
This warranty extends only to you, the original purchaser and is not transferable
to any subsequent purchasers.
This warranty does not apply if, in the judgment of Asoka, the product fails due
to damage from shipment, handling, storage, accident, abuse, misapplication or
misuse, or if it has been used or maintained in a manner not conforming to
product manual instructions, has been modified in any way, or has had any serial
number removed or defaced. Repair by anyone other than Asoka or an approved
agent will void this warranty. The maximum liability of Asoka under this warranty
is limited to the purchase price of the product covered by the warranty. Prior to
returning any defective product, the purchaser or the authorized merchant from
whom the purchaser originally bought the product must obtain a Return Material
