BiPAC HomePlug AV Utility
Billion BiPAC HomePlug AV Utility consists of 6 screens accessed through 6 panel tabs. The 6
panels are Main, Privacy, Diagnostics, QoS, Firmware Download and About located on the top left
corner of the program for configuration convenience.
Main Tab
The Main Tab screen lists all the powerline devices that are connected to the host computer when
the utility is running.
The top left window panel shows all the local HomePlug devices that are connected to the
computer’s NIC (Network Interface Card). Normally, only one device will be seen on the list. If
there is more than one local device being connected, user can select the local device by clicking
on it and then click the Connect button to its right to use it to connect to the internet. Once
connected to the local device, the utility will automatically scan the power line periodically for
other newly connected HomePlug devices. If no local HomePlug devices are discovered, the
status area above the connect button will indicate with a message "NO HOMEPLUG ADAPTERS
DETECTED".
The bottom window panel displays all the HomePlug remote devices that are detected on the
current network. The total number of remote devices connected on the same network can be
found on top of the Remote device panel. Within this panel, you can also find some useful
informations of each remote device such as its password, the connection quality, transfer rate and
MAC address.
