ATTENTION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Change or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for Compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

1. 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 EU-200BX is the EMS (Element Management System) Unit that enables the remote
monitoring and management of the XPAS-200 PLC system by providing information on the
status of the PLC sites.
The EU-200BX monitors and manages network information that is characteristic only to PLC,
such as bit loading, powerline channel information, and etc., to ensure reliable network
performance. Remote configuration and firmware upgrade are also supported through the EU-
200BX for efficient setup and maintenance of the PLC units.

4. Installing the EU-200BX
4.1 Connecting the LAN and Console
Note: The EU-200BX should be located within the same broadcasting domain as the Stations
to be managed.
① Connect the ISP backbone to the UPLINK port of the Switch Hub or PLC Master Unit.
② Insert a RJ-45 direct cable into the LAN port of the EU-200BX and connect to the LAN
port of the Switch Hub.
[Note] When connecting directly to the PLC Master Unit, insert the RJ-45 cable into
an available RJ-45 port of the PLC Master Unit.
③ Insert the RJ-45 / RS-232 cable into the CONSOLE port of the EU-200BX. Connect the
other end of the cable to the SERIAL port of the PC.
④ Connect the power adaptor to the EU-200BX and plug into the power outlet.
