MM-202BX Installation Manual 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, Xelines PLC system offers a cost-effective and easy-to-install Internet access solution from any electrical outlet. Xeline's XPAS-200B PLC Internet Access System supports data rates of up to 24Mbps and is targeted for effective Internet access over powerlines in residential houses or high-rise building configurations. The XPAS-200B system supports both Master/Slave or Ad-hoc topology and is based on Xeline's proprietary Cell-structured MAC (CMAC), which offers virtually unlimited number of nodes per physical network. Remote configuration and firmware upgrade are also supported for efficient setup and maintenance of the PLC units in mass-usage environments. Xeline's XPAS-200B system supports EMS (Element Management System) for effective remote monitoring and management of the PLC networks. 5 This document is subject to change without prior notice.

Installing the MM-202BX 4.1 Connecting the Power Plug the power cable of the MM-202BX into an available power outlet in the distribution station or panel1. 4.2 Configuring the MM-202BX The MM-202BX is remotely configured by the EU-200BX through automatic process. Therefore there is no need to manually configure the MM-202BX2. 4.3 Connecting the CU-100A to the MM-202BX The CU-200A is usually installed near the circuit breaker of each subscribers house. Use a straight RJ-11 cable to connect the MM-202BX and CU-100A. The RJ-11 cable is not included with the MM-202BX3. Insert one end of the RJ-11 cable in the SIG1 or SIG2 port of the MM-202BX. Insert the other end of the cable in the INPUT port of the CU-100A. Figure 5 Connecting the MM-202BX to the CU-100A 1 If there is no available power outlet, connect the Hot line and Neutral line from the public power supply in order to provide power to the MM-202BX. Be careful not to use private powerlines. 2 Please refer to the EU-200BX Installation Guide for more details. 3 The RJ-11 cable is not included with the product because the distance to each subscribers house varies widely according to the site configuration. The RJ-11 cable should be a straight cable with wires in the same sequence on both ends.

Turn on the power of the MM-202BX. Using a long sharp instrument, push down on the reset button of the SU-200BX to. Turn on the power of the SU-200BX while the reset button is pushed down. Check if the ACT LED is blinking. Disconnect the RJ-45 cable from the SU-200BX and MM-202BX. Reconnect the MM-202BX cables to their original positions. Reset the power of the SU-200BX. Connect the laptop PC to the LAN port of the SU-200BX and configure the network properties. Confirm if the Internet connection is working properly. 4.6 Resetting to Factory Default Mode Use the reset button at the top side of the MM-202BX in order to reset the configuration into factory default mode. Turn off the power of the MM-202BX. Disconnect all cables (including CU-100A cables) from the MM-202BX except for the power cable. Use a long sharp instrument (such as a tweezers) in order to push down on the reset button on the top side of the MM-202BX. Turn on the MM-202BX while pushing down on the reset button. Using the sharp instrument, push down on the reset button for 1 second. Wait at least 1 second before repeating the procedure at least 3 times or more. The ACT 2 LED will blink when the MM-202BX is changed to the factory default mode. Reset the power of the MM-202BX. 12 This document is subject to change without prior notice.
