How does it work?
Each HD-PLC adaptor has an AC cord that plugs into a wall outlet. This connection not only powers the adaptor, but also allows
the adaptor to send data to and from the other adaptors in your home using your existing electrical wiring. Each adaptor also
has a LAN jack, which connects each adaptor to your broadband router, hub, computer, network printer, network camera, etc.
Once your adaptors are registered, simply plug them into the wall outlets around your home. (The included adaptors are already
registered.) Finally, connect the master adaptor to your broadband internet router or modem, and then connect the other adap-
tors to your network devices (computers, network printers, network cameras, etc.). When you’re finished, each network device
will be able to access the internet as well as each other.
Master and terminal adaptors
Before using your adaptors, it is important to understand the concept of a “master” adaptor and a “terminal” adaptor.
An HD-PLC network contains at least 2 adaptors. One (and only one) adaptor must be configured as the master. All other adap-
tors are configured as terminals. (A maximum of 15 terminals per network is recommended.) An adaptor is configured as either
a master or a terminal during registration. For simplicity, we recommend configuring the adaptor that is directly connected to one
of your router’s LAN ports as the master.
