Appendix FAQ
Q1: What is Powerline networking?[PL-510W]
A:
Powerline technology upgrades your existing electric wiring, enabling
transmission of both network data and electric power in a single power
line at a high speed of up to 200Mbps, low cost and with better
stability while without new wires required.
Q2: Can a PL-510W be used alone (without a PLC adapter)?
A:
Yes. However, when used alone (without a Powerline adapter), it
functions only as a wireless AP instead of a Powerline wireless AP.
Q3: Can a PL-510W access Internet immediately after plugged
into a wall outlet?
A:
No. There are two ways to enable clients connected to a Powerline AP,
say, PW-510W, to access Internet. A. Connect a second PW-510W or
another PLANET Powerline device (200M/500M) to an Internet-enabled
broadband router. With a Powerline connection established between
the two involved Powerline devices, clients connected wirelessly to the
PW-510W are able to access Internet. B. Simply connect the PW-510W
to an Internet-enabled broadband router using an Ethernet cable. And
clients connected wirelessly to the PL-510W will be able to access
Internet.
Q4: Do I need to install a utility to use the device?
A:
No. The device is a plug-&-play Powerline device. Two Powerline devices
connected to the same electricity meter are able to interconnect automatically, no
configuration required. Yet, there is still an included Web based utility for
configuring advanced features.
Q5: I have installed two PL-510W devices under a single
electric meter. How am I supposed to manage them?
A:
By default, the two PL-510W devices cannot be managed concurrently as both
