RDERING INFORMATION
This BV-210/BV-254 User Manual describes how the powerline connects to the
Ethernet Bridge (BV-210) and to the Ethernet Switch (BV-254).
The BV-210 is a one-port Powerline Ethernet Bridge. The BV-254 is a four-port
Powerline Ethernet Switch .
Powerline technology lets you use your home's electrical system to transmit data signals,
and it uses the electrical system as a network, with each electrical outlet serving as a node.
Any Ethernet-equipped device (PCs, TiVos, and set-top boxes, among others) that's
connected to a power line adapter can be part of the power line network.
After successful installation, the BV-210 and BV-254 Powerline network behaves like a
traditional LAN for computers. These brite-View Powerline Adapters support up to 200Mbps
network speed.
See the following table for a summary.
