Local Network with the Gigaset HomePlug AV 200
The Gigaset HomePlug AV 200 offers numerous possibilities for setting up a local 
network in your home or office. The basis for this network is the package you purchased 
with two devices, which you can use, for example, for the following configurations:
u PC – PC communication
u Connecting PCs to the Internet
u Establishing a connection for Internet television (IPTV)
Further details are available from the following explanations:
PC – PC Communication
You can use the Gigaset HomePlug AV 200 to set up a local network. All PCs in this 
network can communicate with one another and share the following elements:
u Files and applications as well as
u Peripherals and printers
 
In a wired local area network, the PCs normally communicate via an Ethernet cable. The 
Gigaset HomePlug AV 200 allows you to use the existing mains supply instead of 
Ethernet cables. This is then referred to as a Powerline network. The PCs have to be 
equipped with a network port (Ethernet). New PCs generally have this port. You will 
need to install an Ethernet network adapter in the case of older PCs. The PC and the 
Ethernet LAN port on the Gigaset HomePlug AV 200 are connected using the supplied 
Ethernet cable (CAT5). You can obtain additional Ethernet cables from any specialist 
retail store.
The Gigaset HomePlug AV 200 supports transmission rates of up to 200 Mbps. Please 
note that performance may be restricted by various circumstances. For example, the 
connected devices share the capacity of the network so that the actual data 
transmission rate is dependent on the number of connected devices and the volume of 
data traffic.
