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. 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. 3.3 FAQ 14 Corine x Powe rNe t USB A d a p t e r • Owne r‘s Manual 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. 3 User‘s Guide 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. 3.4 USB Adapter Specifications The following table lists the product specifications for the Corinex PowerNetUSB Adapter. 3.4 USB Adapter Specifications 15 Corine x Powe rNe t USB A d a p t e r • Owne r‘s Manual Homeplug v 1.01 Certified Windows 9x/Me/2000/XP Compatible for PowerNet Setup Tool IEEE 802.3 UL Approved Standard compliance FCC Approved Protocol TCP/IP Port USB (v.1.0/1.1) Speed Up to 14 Mbps Cabling type − Standard AC cable − USB cable LED status Lights Power, Collision, Link, Activity Unit Dimensions 2.36“L x 4.49“W x 1.18“H 60m…
