HomePlug PowerLine
HomePlug PowerLine is an excellent solution that can be used to extend your network. In the home or small office
building, use HomePlug Ethernet Bridge Adapters to link multiple locations without the need to run Ethernet cable.
Combined with a broadband DSL/Cable connection, every room with electrical power outlets will have easy access
to high-speed Internet connection.
Introduction
200 Mbps HomePlug AV Adapter allows you to connect any device which has an Ethernet port to a PowerLine net-
work. In operation, the 200 Mbps HomePlug AV Adapter is completely transparent, and simply passes data
between the Ethernet port and the PowerLine network. The PowerLine data transfer rate can be reached up to 200
Mbps. Any device may be connected to the 200 Mbps HomePlug Ethernet Bridge’s Ethernet port, but a Windows
PC must be used for configuration.
* Strongly recommend Windows 2000/XP/Vista for utility configuration

The 200 Mbps HomePlug AV Adapter is now ready for use.
Operation
Operation is completely automatic, and no user intervention is required.
If your HomePlug devices have difficulty communicating with each other, check the following:
Each HomePlug device must use the same Network Key.
You can use the Encryption tab of the PLI-2040 utility to assign a Network Key to other HomePlug devices.
200 Mbps HomePlug AV Adapter works better when plugged into the wall socket. Connect the 200 Mbps Ho-
mePlug AV Adapter into the power strip or surge protectors may degrade the network performance.
