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.
zPlease read all instructions before installing and operating this product.
zPlease keep all instructions for later reference.
zPlease follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
zUnplug the AC coupler from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. DO NOT use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
zDO NOT operate this product near water.
zThis product should never be placed near or over a radiator, or heat register.
zThis product relies on the building’s electrical installation for short-circuit (over current) protection.
zEnsure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC 15A or 240 VAC 6A is used on the phase
conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
zDO NOT allow anything to rest on the product interconnect cords. DO NOT locate this product where people
may walk on the cords.
zBecause the ALL1692 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 ALL1692 has its own power
filter for protection against surges.
zOnly a qualified technician should service this product. Opening or removing covers may result in exposure to
dangerous voltage points or other risks.
zUnplug the AC coupler from the wall outlet and refer the product to qualified service personnel for the following
conditions:
¾When the interconnect cords are damaged or frayed.
¾If liquid has been spilled into the product.
¾If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
¾If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed.
¾If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

5. Familiarize yourself with the ALL1692 device connections:
6. Limitation of the PLC device:
To meet the safety regulation, the longest distance between powerline carrier devices will be limited at 100
meter and for in-house use only.. More than 100 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, 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. You can repeat steps 1 and 2 for connecting many other links depending on your needs.
4. The LINK and LINK/ACT LED indicator light up when you complete the above connection.
5. The ACT LED indicator startsblinking when the data communication proceeds on power line.
6. The COL LED indicator flashes when there is a Powerline communication collision.
To share a xDSL or cable modem with Internet access service
1. Connect one Ethernet Bridge to the broadband router
zPlug the Ethernet Bridge into an AC outlet.
zPlug 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
zPlug the Bridge into an AC outlet.
zPlug 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
zPlug the Bridge into an AC outlet.
zPlug 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 to the AP
zPlug the Bridge into an AC outlet.
zPlug 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 AP.
