Introduction to the NP285
Powerline Adapters
One of the major drawbacks in setting up a home network is the absence of the required wiring inside the house to interconnect networked computers.
In recent years several technologies have attempted to address this issue. The most prominent technology so far is the family of WIFI (802.11
X)products. Recently, however, another technology called Powerline has been introduced. It uses electrical power circuits within the walls of a building to transmit data from computer to computer. Powerline technology modulates computer data in a way that enables them to use the power circuit as a medium of transmission from point to point. Using this technology, two computers have a virtual Ethernet connection without the need to be physically connected to each other.
The NP285 Powerline Adapters are simple to install and use. They have 3 indicator lights (LEDs) and an Ethernet port. The LEDs display the connection status, as well as other information, enabling detailed diagnosis of system malfunction. The Ethernet port on the NP285 is used to connect to a network device in the home environment. The NP285 Powerline Adapter has a Australian standard power plug for connection to a power outlet.
Typical computer networking applications in the home or office:
1.Share centrally stored data
2.Share a printer
3.Provide shared access to one Internet connection
4.Connect multiple gaming users over a network.
5.Extend an ADSL or Cable modem connection.
.........and many, many more.
