Installation
There are several ways to network your computers using the HomePlug Bridge. Before we get started, please NOTE:
Do not place HomePlug devices under direct sunlight or near high heat emitting devices; Do not place HomePlug devices near water or wet surfaces to avoid electric hazards; Do not place HomePlug devices on any moving or unstable surfaces;
It is recommended that you plug the HomePlug devices directly into the wall outlets, not to any power adapters, surge protectors or any device that filters signals.
If you plan to use this unit as a BRIDGE, not as a NODE; there is a limitation of having sixteen BRIDGES PER NETWORK, (refer to the Network Terms for details):
1.Remove the HomePlug Bridge, the power cord, the CAT5 cable and the installation CD from the package.
2.Allocate a space for the adapter's placement. Make sure you avoid the places mentioned above.
3.Plug one end of the CAT5 cable into the Ethernet port on the computer, and the other end into the Ethernet port of the bridge.
4.Plug the power cord into the HomePlug bridge and wall outlet.
5.At this point, the Power and Link LED should be on, and you should see the ACT (Activity) LED start blinking.
6.Turn on your computer and set up your networks (refer to Network Basics for more information).
