PowerLne AV Ethernet Adapter
Using the Configuration Utility
Advanced (Advanced Users Only)
To provide better Quality of Service (QoS) for more
important types of traffic, such as Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) calls or streaming video, set priority levels
for the different types of traffic . Virtual Local Area Network
(VLAN) tags and Type of Service (TOS) bits can specify
eight levels of user priority, 0-7 (7 being the highest user
priority) . HomePlug AV can specify four levels of Channel
Access Priority (CAP), CAP0-3, (CAP3 being the highest
priority) . Hence the eight levels of VLAN tags have to be
mapped to the four levels of CAP .
Advanced Screen
For the connected Adapter, use this screen to map VLAN
tags or TOS bits user priorities to CAP settings . If both VLAN
tags and TOS bits are enabled, then VLAN tags will override
TOS bits . You can also set the default priority mapping of
packets that do not have VLAN tags or TOS bits .

currently accessed by your computer .
Priority Mapping
Configure CAP settings using VLAN tags or TOS bits .
Packets matching the VLAN tag or TOS bit priority will be
assigned the corresponding CAP that you have selected .
VLAN Tags
VLAN Tags
To assign priority using VLAN tags, check
VLAN Tags .
0-
For each VLAN tag user priority (7 being the highest
user priority), select the appropriate CAP setting: CAP,
CAP, CAP, or CAP0 (CAP3 being the highest CAP
priority) .
TOS Bits
TOS Bts
To assign priority using TOS bits, uncheck VLAN
Tags, and check TOS Bts . (If both are checked, then VLAN
tags override TOS bits .)
