Chapter 2 Connecting Mechanism

2.1 Introduction

The Powerline Adapter supports up to 500Mbps data rate. With this high speed connection rate, this
Powerline Adapter allows you to set up a high speed home network by using your home existing
electrical wiring. Simply plug this Powerline Adapter into an ordinary power outlet to extend your
Cable/xDSL broadband connection or existing LAN network to any other electrical outlet in any room of
your house.
Note that this Powerline Adapter works in pairs. You need to plug one Powerline Adapter into a power
outlet for each computer and connect the Powerline Adapter to the computer's LAN card with an
Ethernet cable; you will also need another Powerline Adapter connected to your Cable/xDSL broadband
so as to extend your broadband connection or Internet surfing. With clean power line, the distance
between two Powerline Adapters can reach 300 meters at most, but the actual distance may vary due to
the environment.
Section below describes the connection instructions and hardware connection mechanism.

2.2 Connection Instruction

To ensure the optimum performance of the Powerline Adapter and significantly improve the transmission
capacity of the network, we recommend that you comply with the following connection rules:
 Plug the Powerline Adapter directly into a wall socket but not the multiple sockets.
 To take full advantage of the filter function of the Powerline Adapter and to improve data
transmission in the network, always plug the multiple sockets into the integrated electrical socket of
the Powerline Adapter.
