About LINDY HomePlug devices
There are two LINDY HomePlug devices available – The HomePlug USB Adaptor and the HomePlug Ethernet Bridge. Each device allows you to connect your computer to a network, but there is an essential difference between them -
The HomePlug Ethernet Bridge connects to an Ethernet port. It does not function as a network adaptor, but provides a ‘bridge’ between the Ethernet and HomePlug networks.
The HomePlug USB Adaptor connects to a USB port on your computer and functions as a network adaptor. It can only be connected to a PC running Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP. It cannot be connected to a USB printer or other USB device!
The HomePlug Ethernet Bridge can be plugged into any device with a 10/100
Note: to change the network password or use the HomePlug configuration utility, you need to connect the Ethernet Bridge to a PC and install the supplied software. The HomePlug software must be installed when using the USB model!
