Page 12: Product Overview
VERVIEW This Powerline device is virtually an Ethernet cable replacement and an Ethernet hub replacement. Two of these Powerline Ethernet Bridge (or one bridge and one switch) devices replace an Ethernet cable, for connecting any PC to another PC, PC to a DSL/cable router, or a wireless AP to a DSL device. Many of this devices can be connected together to form a mesh communication. -

Page 22: Faq (Frequently Asked Questions)
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) What is the distance this device can transmit? ANS: Powerline technology provides reliable coverage for considerable distances in a home, but noises from your home electrical appliances which is introduced into your home's electrical wires is a limiting factor for the transmission distances. Thus you may get (considerably) less or more coverage depending on how many electrical appliances being used at the time your running these devices. - Page 23 How can I connect multiple devices together? ANS: multiple devices can be connected together if they are in same logical network group. Use the GROUP button to set the group of this device. By default, device in a newly shipped dual or combo package are in same group. How many devices can be assigned into a single group? ANS: Please see S section for maximum number of devices that can...
- Page 24 devices is not far away from each other and when there are not too much electrical noise generated by neighboring electrical devices in the office or factories, for example, with most fluorescent lights, the noise is liable to overwhelm Powerline products.

Page 25: Trouble Shooting
ROUBLE SHOOTING New devices are shipped with same logical PLC network group assignment and should be mutually communicable at first deployment. If two PLC devices are not or become not communicating (maybe due to a PLC device’s PLC network group has been erased during product shipping, handling or users deploying), please follow these steps: First, press 1 to 2 sec, with a needle pin, into the RESET button of the powered-on (not entering standby) PLC device. - Page 26 Long distance debugging steps: Gradually increase the distance between the two Powerline devices. Some nearby outlets may be harder for the devices to communicate than the farer outlets. It all depends on electrical wiring topologies. Try with different outlets on different wall or different rooms. Swap devices to isolate the problem to a particular Powerline unit.
