Page 3: Ordering Information
This BV-210/BV-254 User Manual describes how the powerline connects to the Ethernet Bridge (BV-210) and to the Ethernet Switch (BV-254). The BV-210 is a one-port Powerline Ethernet Bridge. The BV-254 is a four-port Powerline Ethernet Switch. Powerline technology lets you use your home's electrical system to transmit data signals, and it uses the electrical system as a network, with each electrical outlet serving as a node. - Page 4 The BV-254 Powerline 4-Port 200Mbps Ethernet Powerline Ethernet Switch Adapter turns any power outlet into a 4-port home (BV-254) network connection. The BV-254 adapter extends your network to provide 200Mpbs connections without the cost or hassle of running new wiring. Just plug the BV-254 Powerline 4-Port Ethernet Adapter directly into the wall outlet, and you are ready.

RODUCT INSTALLATION Setting Logical Network Group Users can set HomePlug AV devices into one or many logical network groups. Devices in the same logical network group will communicate with each other. Devices in different network group won’t communicate with each others. If you have a pair of powerline Ethernet adapters, either one in the pair can be “device A”... -

Remove a Device from a Logical Network Group If device A and B are in the same logical network group but you want to remove device A from this logical network group, just follow the procedure in Step 1 by pressing the GROUP button on device A for 10 seconds. -
Page 16: Application 2 - Computer To Dsl/Cable Router Connection
Application 2 – Computer to DSL/Cable Router Connection Use brite-View powerline to establish communication between your computer and your router – even if they are in different rooms. Installation Options: Connect the computer to a brite-View powerline Ethernet bridge as shown in Room A. The other brite-View powerline Ethernet bridge can be placed in another room, connected to a broadband DSL/cable router shown in Room B. - Page 17 Note: Under decent powerline signal conditions, two devices can communicate with each other without problems even though the two rooms are not right next to each other. (See the FAQ section for more details.)

Page 21: Faq (Frequently Asked Questions)
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) What is the maximum powerline Ethernet devices communication distance? ANS: Powerline technology provides reliable communication coverage in a home setting; the limiting factor is often your home electrical system noise/interference. Powerline devices can communicate with each other within the distance of 340 feet in most homes. Even if the electrical wiring is very “noisy”, the two devices can still communicate with each other within the distance of 120 feet. - Page 22 device in a newly shipped dual or combo package are in same group. How many devices can be assigned to a single group? ANS: Please see S section for maximum number of devices that can be PECIFICATIONS assigned to a single logical network group. There can be multiple groups in the same electric wiring environment.

Page 24: Trouble Shooting
ROUBLE SHOOTING New devices are assigned to the same logical network group so they should have no problem communicating with each other. If two used devices cannot communicate with each other: • Check the logical network group to make sure they are using the same PLC configuration utility. - Page 25 • Pay special attention to the electrical noise generated by the following devices: Air conditioning – Florescent lights, particularly industrial grade lights – Refrigerators – Surge protectors and other line filters and conditioning – Blowers – Large electrical motors – Note These powerline devices are not designed for business use.
