IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product is intended for connection to the AC power line. For installation instructions, refer to the
Installation section. For removing the device, refer to the Unplug section. The following precautions should be
taken when using this product.
Please read all instructions before installing and operating this product.
Please keep all instructions for later reference.
Please follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
Unplug the AC coupler from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
DO NOT use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
DO NOT operate this product near water.
The opening of enclosure near AC plug to face up or frontal, the connector face bottom or rear.
This product should never be placed near or over a radiator, or heat register.
This product relies on the building’s electrical installation for short-circuit (over current) protection.
Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC 20A or 240 VAC 16A is used on the
phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
DO NOT allow anything to rest on the product interconnect cords.
DO NOT locate this product where people may walk on the cords.
Because the 200Mbps PLC Ethernet Bridge product sends data over the powerline, it is recommended
that you plug directly into a power outlet. Do not plug the device into a UPS or power strip with surge
protection. The 200Mbps PLC Ethernet Bridge product has its own power filter for protection against surges.
The product can be operated at an ambient temperature of 40℃.
For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.
Only a qualified technician should service this product. Opening or removing covers may result in
exposure to dangerous voltage points or other risks.
Unplug the AC coupler from the wall outlet and refer the product to qualified service personnel for the
following conditions:
When the interconnect cords are damaged or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled into the product.
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed.
If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL…
1. Before installing, make sure your PC meets these requirements for hardware installation:
Microsoft Windows® 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS or linux OS
Pentium® III or better, clock rate faster than 2.0GHz recommended
At least one free Ethernet port for ALL168500 500Mbps PLC-Ethernet Bridge
2. Your PC must not be configured for another network. This means that:
No network clients except for Microsoft Network*, Client for Netware* Networks, or Microsoft
Family Logon* are installed
No network services except file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks or Personal Web
Server* are installed
No network protocols except Microsoft’s TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, or Net BIOS support for
IPX/SPX are installed
3. Network installation requires two steps:
1. Install the 500Mbps PLC Ethernet Bridge
2. For each PC to be added to the network, repeat the process
4. Check that you have the following parts for each PC on the network:
Product installation guide for ALL168500 500Mbps PLC-Ethernet Bridge:
1. ALL168500 500Mbps PLC Ethernet Bridge
2. Ethernet Cable (CAT 5)
5. Familiarize yourself with the Powerline device connections:
There is only one Ethernet port. This is used for the connection with PC, xDSL/Router, Cable Modem, or
Wireless AP.
6. Limitation of the PLC device:
To meet the safety regulation, the longest distance between powerline carrier devices will be limited at
200 meter and for in-house use only. More than 200 meter will cause the signal reduction or data loss.

Product installation guide
Important:
Do not plug the device into a power strip or surge protector because these devices may
consist of filter and impair signal. Also avoid plugging the device right next to noisy
sources such as cell phone charger, Halogen light, Energy saving bulb, noisy desktop
computer, vacuum cleaner, etc. Both cases result in poor transmission speed.
To install for the PC local Powerline network
1. Use the supplied Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect Ethernet Bridge and your PC’s Ethernet port.
2. Plug the Ethernet Bridge to outlet.
3. The PWR LED indicator will light on after plugging.
4. You can repeat steps 1 and 2 for connecting the others.
5. The PL-ACT LED indicator starts blinking when the data communication proceeds on Powerline.
6. The ETH-ACT LED indicator starts blinking when the data communication proceeds on Ethernet.
To share a xDSL or cable modem with Internet access service
1. Connect one Ethernet Bridge to the broadband router
Plug the Ethernet Bridge into an AC outlet.
Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of the Bridge and plug the other end of
the cable into an available Ethernet port of the Router.
2. Connect the other Ethernet Bridge(s) to the PC(s) to share the Internet access
Plug the Bridge into an AC outlet.
Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of the Bridge and plug the other end
of the cable into Ethernet port on the PC.
As wireless AP (Access Point) Extender
1. Connect one Ethernet Bridge to the broadband router
Plug the Bridge into an AC outlet.
Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of the Bridge and plug the other end of
the cable into an available Ethernet port of the broadband router.
2. Connect the other Ethernet Bridge to the wireless AP
Plug the Bridge into an AC outlet.
Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of the Bridge and plug the other end
of the cable into the Ethernet port on the wireless AP.

Setup Button Usage:
1. First time to setup your private network:
Step 1. Press and hold the device’s “SETUP” button for more than 10 seconds. You can release the button
when you see all the device’s LEDs are off and restart. The original network encryption setting is
cleared.
Step 2. Repeat Step 1 to clear another device’s original network encryption setting.
Step 3. Press both devices’“SETUP” button for 1 to 3 seconds. You will see both devices’“PWR” LED start
blinking. Both devices start to communicate and try to setup their private network encryption. They will
complete the new private network encryption setting within 10 seconds. You will see both devices’all
LEDs are off and restart.
Note: The setup operation timeout is 120 seconds.
Step 4. If failed, please repeat Step 1 to Step 3 again.
2. Add a new device to the existing private network:
Step 1. Plug the new device. Press and hold its “SETUP” button for more than 10 seconds to clear the original
network encryption setting.
Step 2. Press the new device’s “SETUP” button for 1 to 3 seconds. The “PWR” LED starts blinking.
Step 3. Select a random device from the existing private network. Press its “SETUP” button for 1 to 3
seconds. The device’s “PWR” LED starts blinking.
Step 4. The new device starts to communicate with the device from existing private network, and tries to join
this existing private network. It will complete the new private network encryption setting within 10
seconds. You will see the new device’s all LEDs are off and restart after completing the private
network setting. The existing private network device’s “PWR” LED become solid.
