Seconds Function

1-2 Connects to an existing Powerline network

5-8 Generates a random, unique network key on the adapter and immediately separates the device from an existing network.

10-15 Resets the adapter to the factory settings.

10. Connections

In order to create a network with the Powerline Adapters, it is necessary for at least two adapters to be connected for the purpose of transferring data.

There are two options available: A direct connection between two network-capable devices or a connection between a network-capable device and a router (to the Internet).

Connect the Powerline Adapter to a wall socket (100-240 V\~50/60 Hz) near to the network-capable device.

NOTE

In order to ensure constant access to an existing LAN network, it is necessary to permanently supply the Powerline Adapter with electricity.

10.1. Notes on the electricity connection

NOTE

Directly connect the Powerline Adapter to a wall socket and not to an extension cable or multiple socket adapter because otherwise this may negatively influence the quality of the data transmission. You can operate other devices via the integrated power socket on the Powerline Adapter.

If possible, directly plug the Powerline Adapter into its own wall socket.

NOTE

If you cannot achieve a connection after linking the adapter to a computer, try the process again using a different wall socket. Please note that the quality of the data transmission is dependent on the load and quality of your mains electricity network:

–The data transmission will slow down as the length of the power line between the two Powerline Adapters increases.

- Depending on the load placed on the mains electricity network, the speed of the data transmission may vary or even be interrupted.

-In the case of older mains electricity networks, which do not correspond to the latest technological standards, the data transmission may be a little slower.

10.2. Connection with a network device

In order to connect two network devices e.g. a PC and a router together in a network using Powerline Adapters, each of the two devices must be connected to their own Powerline Adapter with a LAN cable (RJ-45).
