PL-1085
1 Introduction
The maximum number of PL-1085 adaptors in a single-family house is theo-
retically 253 connections, but in practice no more than 10 devices should
be transferring data simultaneously.

Network Security

The PL-1085 products will immediately work after unpacking and plugging
them into the power connection of your home, even without any software
installation and configuration.
Normally the electric meter forms a physical barrier, i.e. only devices con-
nected to this meter can be part of the network and benefit from the phase
coupling.
We strongly recommend that you use the PL-1085 Adaptor internal device
encryption. It is configured with the PL-1085 Adaptor Configuration Utility.
Limitations
In optimal conditions, the maximum cable distance between two PL-1085
devices can be 200 meters.
However, the connection quality will be influenced by :
– Bad quality of electricity cabling.
– Fuses.
– Lightning/overvoltage protections.
– Multiphase electricity : some homes have 3-phase electricity. The PL-
1085 quality will decrease dramatically when connecting the devices on
different phases. In some cases there will be no communication possible
at all !
– Some electrical equipment like microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners,
earlier laptop/mobile phone chargers will generate noise on the electrical
network during operation.
The PL-1085 is a 85Mbps based Intellon HomePlug device
and is not recommended for DSL TV.
