Powerline

This chapter introduces the main applications and management of the powerline feature.

8.1 Overview

The P-660HWP-Dx is a HomePlug AV adaptor integrated DSL product. The P-660HWP-Dx
and other HomePlug AV powerline adapters in your network communicate with each other by
sending and receiving information over your home’s electrical wiring.
The P-660HWP-Dx plugs into an ordinary outlet to create a new network which can extend to
any other electrical outlet in any room of a house.
The following section shows you a typical application.

1 Connect your P-660HWP-Dx to the Internet.
2 Then plug your P-660HWP-Dx into a power outlet and turn it on.

The P-660HWP-Dx is ready for connection on a powerline network.

3 Connect another HomePlug AV compatible adapter to a computer and then plug it in on

the same home or office wiring.

After configuring the settings on all adapters (see

Section 8.3 on page 38

and

Section 8.4 on

page 39

) your computer can now connect to the powerline network and to the Internet. Your

powerline network can be further expanded by plugging additional powerline adapters into
other outlets in your home and connecting other computers or network devices (for example, a
printer) to them.
