Powerline PL500 Series Adapter
For best performance, plan the location of your Powerline adapters.
•
To avoid accidentally turning off the power to the outlet, select an electrical outlet that is
not controlled by a wall switch.
•
Do not plug Powerline adapters into electrical outlets that are located near appliances
that consume a lot of power, such as washers, dryers, or refrigerators. Interference from
these appliances might prevent Powerline products from working correctly or reduce
Powerline network performance.
•
Do not plug Powerline adapters into a power strip,
extension cord, or surge protector. Connecting a
Powerline adapter to one of these devices might prevent
it from working correctly or reduce Powerline network
performance.
Set Up a New Powerline Network
Different Powerline models can share the Powerline network. All On Networks Powerline AV
products are compatible.
To set up a new Powerline network:
1.
Make sure that your network is working and that you can connect to the Internet.
2.
Plug a Powerline adapter into an electrical outlet near your router or gateway.
3.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the adapter to a LAN port on your router or gateway.
