All devices in your network must be programmed with the same
network encryption password. Run this utility on all computers
with a powerline networking device attached. If you have a
powerline device that is not normally connected to a computer, it
must first be connected to a computer and set up with a network
encryption password.

3.3 FAQ
1. Is the Corinex Powernet USB Adapter still working if there is
an electricity blackout? And will it resume the transmission
automatically after the power come back ?
Corinex PowerNet USB Adapter is supplied from PC power
supply. When UPS is connected to PC, it will work without any
interruption.
2. Once the electricity is on after blackout, is the PowerNet put
into operation "automatically"?
Yes, we can compare the situation to Ethernet card. When OS
Windows starts correctly you don't see any problem.
3. As the transmission range of PowerNet is around 150−200
meters, how does it work when the distance is over say 400
meters?
We recommend to measure the line before starting operations.
5. In case the PCs at the different floors of the same building
are connected, can they use the Powernet device for the data
transmission ? And how does it work ?
Powernet works on the same electric phase − the same physical
line. This is the basic condition. If there is the same electric line
between the offices and maximum distance is up to 200m, it
works fine.
6. What do you mean if you say "Scalable − migration path to
200Mbps and beyond"
Next generation of Corinex products, capable of 20Mbps, will still
be compatible with current 14Mbps devices.
7. Can you see any impact on the transmission of the signal if
the electrocity power (no matter 110V or 220V) is unstable.
No.
Corinex PowerNet USB Adapter• Owner‘s Manual
4. Is there any cross talk or interference issue when using
Corinex PowerNet ?
Within PC we don't see any interference with any other card
and/or system. The OFDM technology reduces influence coming
from another device which is connected to power line network.
To confirm the above there is a requirement such a device should
pass EMC approval.

8. Can we use Corinex PowerNet USB adapter for both
110/220V Power Network or are there two versions of
Corinex PowerNet?
We support both 110V and 220V on the same device (PCI, USB,
Ethernet). 110V and 220V differ only in the shape of the electric
plugs so that they fit into local sockets.
9. Which version of USB do you use?
USB v. 1.0/1.1 , full speed 12 Mbps.

Troubleshooting Guide
Computer networking can sometimes be a headache
when many components must work together for the
system to work. With the right tools the problems are
usually easy to fix. These tools will get you started.
•
PowerNet Setup Tool (from the Corinex PowerNet Installation CD)
•
ping (from the command prompt)
•
ipconfig (from the command prompt)
If it just doesn’t work...
1. Check that the power LED 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 fails, the device is
faulty. Return your product for a replacement.
2. Check that the USB cable is correctly inserted.
•
Check the lower right hand corner of the Windows
screen for an icon with a computer with a red cross
over it. If it is there, the device is not working
correctly
•
Check local area connections properties, click
configure and select the 'Advanced' tab and make
sure Media Select is set to HomeLAN. For detailed
description see your installation guide.
4. Check that the devices exist on the network.

4 Troubleshooting Guide
Start the PowerNet Setup Tool Program, 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 has one only active
network card
•
Make sure the Corinex Powernet Adapters
are plugged straight into the wall and not
through a power strip or extension cord.
•
Unplug all Corinex Powernet Adapters and
plug them back in again one by one. Run the
PowerNet Setup Tool Program again.
•
The devices may be programmed with
different passwords. Setup all devices with a
new password as described in the PowerNet
Setup Tool Manual.
•
The chosen outlet pair may have poor
electrical connection, try a different pair of
outlets.
5. Check that the Corinex Powernet USB Adapters devices
are detected by TCP/IP.
•
Go into the TCP/IP properties and check that the
buttons for automatically obtaining IP address
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
Corinex PowerNet USB Adapter• Owner‘s Manual
From the command prompt, run ping and type the
computer name or IP address of the computer you are
working on. [ping yourcomputername] This should return
four good packets. Now try to ping another computer on
the network. If a timeout occurs:

4 Troubleshooting Guide
•
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.
I cannot share my internet acces
To share broadband internet access, you need a router
connected to your Cable/DSL modem. This will provide a
firewall with single IP address that all computers will use as a
gateway. Connect a Corinex Powernet Ethernet Adapter to
your cable/DSL router.
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 of all computers and unplug the powerline
devices, now plug your Ethernet Adapter back into the
router before switching your computer. This will ensure
that the computer's IP address will be otbained from the
router.
•
Now try opening Intenet Explorer, if the 'Not Found' page
appears, try clicking the link to 'obtain proxy settings
automatically'
It works but it is slow
•
Make sure the device is connected straight into the socket
and not a power splitter or extension cord.
•
Try another outlet.
Corinex PowerNet USB Adapter• Owner‘s Manual
A slow connection is almost always due to poor electrical
connection.
