2.1 Introduction to Powerline
The Telesystem P-Link 0.1 is the home plug-in device for high requirements. The fast transfer rate (up to 200
Mbps) makes every intensive Internet application a real multimedia treat. The integrated Quality of Service function
measures the bandwidth requirement, optimises the data flow and ensures excellent quality. Whether in the office
or at homeo, devices such as digital receivers, set-top boxes or computers can be connected with the P-Link 0.1
powerline adapter using the available Ethernet interface. On top of that, the range of 300 meters creates a high
degree of flexibility.
Why using powerline adapters? With powerline adapters you can set up a home network easily, quickly and econo-
mically via your household power grid, without the need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling. The available
performance and effort required for the installation attains speeds you would expect from other LAN technologies.
The installation procedure is truly plug&play (no need of a computer for configuring the adapter) and, in addition,
P-Link 0.1 is green: it can reduce its energy consumption automatically by up to 60% when in standby mode.

connected to the network interface is switched on again, your device can also be reached again via the
electrical wiring.
