Chapter 2 Planning your Powerline Network
With PLANET PowerLine products, a network can be created using home powerlines.
Computers can be networked over powerlines using a USB Adapter or an Ethernet converter.
Use PL-102U for a USB-enabled computer or use PL-401E for an Ethernet-enabled computer.
The PL-401E is also ideal for any user who already has a router and wants to share
high-speed Internet access across the powerline network. Connect PL-401E to the router after
you have configured it using the Security Configuration Utility. Connect a straight-through UTP
Category 5 cable to the uplink port of the router, or connect crossover UTP Category 5 cable to
a LAN port on the router.
