Corinex Global Powerline Router - Manual (Page 8)

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:
• 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
