HE 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, Mac OS or linux OS   

 

Pentium® III or better, clock rate faster than 2.0GHz recommended 

 

Resource on your PC 

 

At least one free Ethernet port for 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

 

500Mbps

 

PLC-Ethernet Bridge

:

 

1. 

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 100 meter 

and for in-house use only. More than 100 meter will cause the signal reduction or data loss.
