Flowire

Flowire is based on the HomePlug AV power line communications specification, only using 24 - 48 V DC as the medium. It is a network bridge between Ethernet and a PLC link.

There are three variants:

• FCDC-3 (1008080110 )

The versions

• FCDC-1 (1008080110 ) - Forwards power to the spare pairs of the Ethernet port
• FCDC-2 (1008080210) - Does not forward power to the Ethernet port

The FCDC-1 is directly forwarding the power from the Power Supply Unit to the Ethernet port (802.3af Type 1 mode B only). This means it is using the spare pairs only for power, and there is no auto-sensing of polarity or load. It is not using PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology

Factory defaults

• Static IP address : 169.254.1.10
• DHCP enabled. If the unit obtains a dynamic IP address, it comes in addition to the static address.
• NMK Password: HomePlugAV0123

Reset to Factory defaults

Flowire can be reset to Factory defaults by pressing the button for 15 seconds. The recessed button is located next to the Ethernet connector.
