Hardware Installation

Recommendations

•For best results, use in a regular wall outlet without any other product plugged into the same outlet. Connecting this product to a power strip or a surge protector may adversely affect the performance of this product.

•Avoid using the PowerLine AV 500 switch/adapters in an electrical outlet that is located near an appliance that uses a lot of power such as a washer, dryer, refrigerator, microwave, hair dryer, or air conditioning system.

•To verify connectivity or if you are having connection problems, plug the adapters in the same room to verify whether your home’s electrical wiring is contributing to the issue. The adapters’PowerLine LED indicators will illuminate if the connection is established.

Step 1

Plug the DHP-502AV adapter into an AC Wall outlet. Connect the included Ethernet cable to the network cable connector located on the PowerLine AV 500 Network Adapter and attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet device (e.g. router). Power source is confirmed when the Power LED is illuminated.

Step 2

Connect the supplied power cord into the power receptor located on the back of the DHP-540 switch and press the power button to the ON position. Power source is confirmed when the Power LED is illuminated.

Step 3

Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the 4 ports located on the DHP-540 switch and attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet device such as a computer, NAS device, game console, media player, and Internet TV.

Note: Network Connectivity is confirmed when the PowerLine and Ethernet LED indicators on the adapter and switch are illuminated.
