XAV5001 Powerline AV 500 Adapter User Manual

By default, all types of traffic on the Powerline network are assigned the same priority. For

most applications, this works fine. However, there are situations where performance

improves if you assign a higher priority to certain types of traffic, such as multimedia files.

To prioritize by general application type:

If your network traffic is a mix of multimedia and document/database traffic you might want to

give priority to a particular traffic type. If it is important that your multimedia playback is

smooth, even while document files are being transferred over the network, then give priority

to multimedia traffic. Conversely, if it is more important for your network to be responsive to

database applications, give priority to this type of application over multimedia applications.

The Powerline adapter supports the following:

• MAC address

• IP port

• VLAN tags

• ToS bits (Type of Service routing)

To set the priority of data transfers by the type of protocol:

1. Start the XAV5001 Powerline Utility and wait for the utility to detect the Powerline

adapters connected to the network.

You can go to the QoS screen from either the Security icon

menu or the Powerline

device pop-up menu.

2. From the pop-up menu, click QoS (Quality of Service).
