    Introduction Overview LevelOne HomePlug Adapter allows you to connect any device which has an Ethernet port to a HomePlug network. In operation, the HomePlug Adapter is completely transparent, and simply passes data between the Ethernet port and the HomePlug network. Any device may be connected to the HomePlug Adapter's Ethernet port, but a Windows PC must be used for configuration.
