  Video Network Setups

An In-Home AV network is made up of an access point (AP) adapter and several end 
points (EPs). In-Home AV networks can have only one AP. However, several In-
Home AV networks can be created in the same space, each of them with its own AP, 
because each network is isolated by a unique network identifier. An adapter can be 
configured as a Fixed AP (i.e. it always will be an AP) or an automatic EP/AP. When 
set to automatic, the In-Home AV protocol decides which adapter will function as 
an AP. This means that if no Access Point (AP) has been defined, an End Point (EP) 
will be automatically set to function as an AP.

Note: It is recommended to configure a Fixed AP. This provides increased 
stability for future reconfigurations and in multi-network environments.

Note: It is not necessary to have full connectivity between all the adapters on 
a network. The network topology will be configured automatically, allowing 
for the use of repeaters if the connectivity between two adapters fails.

The necessary steps for setting up a basic In-Home AV network are, for each 
adapter, as follows:

- Set 

its 

IP address. It should be a unique IP address (e.g. private address like 

 10.10.1.<pick a number>).
-  Select the spectral configuration (notches enabled or disabled).
- Set 

the 

Network Identifier. It should be the same value for all adapters on the 

 network.
- Configure 

the 

Encryption Key. It should also be the same value for all adapters 

  on the network.
-  It is not necessary to configure the In-Home AV MAC, since there is only one 
 

available network topology in the current firmware version. To configure a Fixed 

 AP is optional.

This section contains a few network scenarios, explaining the application and 
necessary configuration.

There are two types of In-Home AV network.
