Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Powerline AV Networking Adapter (the

Adapter) . Most people don’t enjoy buying long and expensive Ethernet cables or pulling the cables from one place to another, but the Adapter offers one of the easiest ways to enjoy home or small-business networking . Users can now experience a total network solution with the Adapter . The Powerline AV Networking Adapter operates on the

HomePlug ® Powerline Specification 2 .0 standard, providing up to

200Mbps* bandwidth over home AC wiring . Since the home power lines are the most pervasive medium in households with multiple outlets in every room, the Adapter allows multiple home desktop and notebook computers to be networked to share an Internet connection, printers, and files, and play games without any additional wiring .

The advanced signal processing is capable of maintaining coverage throughout the entire house, even across different phase rings .

The installation of the Adapter only requires that a 10/100Mbps network adapter is installed on the computers . This makes the

Powerline AV Networking Adapter compatible with any device, including Mac, Windows, and UNIX machines .

For security, all HomePlug devices are equipped with 128-bit AES encryption . The private home power grid plus encryption makes

HomePlug significantly more secure than competing technologies .

Installing and Setting Up the Adapters

Overview

Installation of the Powerline AV Networking Adapter takes only seconds and does not require setting up long wires throughout the house . Simply plug the units directly into any available wall outlet and connect to any device with an Ethernet port . Users have the option to randomly change the security password for their powerline network .

Hardware Setup

1. Plug your network cable into the computer’s RJ45 network adapter port.

2. Plug the other end of your network cable into the RJ45 port located at the

back of the Adapter .

3 . Plug the power cable or wall adapter into the power connector at the back of

the Adapter .

4 . Insert the power plug of your power cable or wall adapter directly into a

power outlet in the wall .

NOTE: Do not plug the device into a UPS or power strip with surge protection.

The Adapter has its own power filter for protection against surges.

have to load the new password before it can join the network .

2 . Press the “Encryption” button on an encrypted unit for more than 0 .5

seconds, but less than three seconds .

3 . Within two minutes, press the “Encryption” button on the new unit for more

than 0 .5 seconds, but less than three seconds .

4 . The new device has now been loaded with the network password and

added to the current powerline network

Resetting to Factory Defaults

Using a pointed object, press and hold the “Reset” button for one second to restore defaults . This procedure resets the network password to the default out-of-box value .
