1 HomePlug Powerline
HomePlug powerline is an excellent solution that can be used to extend your network. In the home or small office
building, use HomePlug Ethernet Bridge Adapters to link multiple locations without the need to run Ethernet cable.
Combined with a broadband DSL/Cable connection, every room with electrical power outlets will have easy access
to high-speed Internet connection.
1.1 Introduction
HomePlug Pro 4-Port Bridge allows you to connect up to 4 devices that have Ethernet ports to a Powerline net-
work. In operation, the HomePlug Pro 4-Port Bridge is completely transparent, and simply passes data between
the Ethernet port and the Powerline network. The Powerline data transfer rate can be reached up to 200Mbps. Any
device may be connected to the HomePlug Pro 4-Port Bridge’s Ethernet ports, but a Windows PC must be used
for configuration.
* Strongly recommend Windows Vista/2000/XP for utility configuration
