HomePlug 8500W Wireless Adapter

Introduction

The HomePlug 8500W uses the power cables already provided inside buildings to
transmit signals to provide a reliable network of computers and network equipment.
Its maximum transmission rate of 85 Mbps means that the HomePlug 8500W can
cope with sophisticated applications such as internet telephony, high resolution video
applications and internet access, reliably and simultaneously.

The technology implemented by the HomePlug modulates the computer data so that
it is possible to transfer it from point−to−point via the power lines. Using this
technology, two computers have a virtual network connection without the units
actually being physically connected to each other.

The HomePlug 8500W uses 

No New Wires

®

 communication in in each room, via

each power line, using a transmission rate of up to 85 Mbps. It has 4 indicator lamps
(LEDs) and a network (Ethernet) port. The LEDs serve to indicate the connection
status and to signal problems concerning system malfunction. The Ethernet port is
used to connect the HomePlug 8500W to the network. The HomePlug 8500W is
equipped with a standard plug and, thus, is suitable for any 100 − 240 V power
socket.

Networking computers has the following advantages:

1. Shared access to centrally stored data.

2. Shared access to all the printers in the network.

3. Shared use of an internet connection.

4. Multi−user games over the network.
