Chapter 3 Powerline to Ethernet Bridge Installation

Please follow the procedures below to install your PL-401E:

1. Plug one end of an UTP category 5 cable into the computer, switch or hub’s LAN port.

2. Plug the other end of the network cable into one of the 10/100 RJ45 Ethernet ports on

PL-401E.

3. Plug the power cord into the powerline port on PL-401E.

4. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet.

Note1: Use only the supplied power cord to connect PL-401E to the power outlet.

Note2: Because PL-401E sends data over the powerline of your house, it is best to

plug its power cord directly into a power outlet. Do not plug PL-401E into a UPS

power strip with surge protection. PL-401E has its own power filter for protection

against surges.
