You have already created a HomePlug network: adding a 

new adapter to your network  (Hercules ePlug 200 C/Multi 

Solo or Duo) 

Let's take an example of a home in which you have already installed a HomePlug network composed  of 

HomePlug adapters in the AV standard (Hercules ePlug 200 C/Multi, for example).  You now wish to install 

one or more new Hercules ePlug 200 C/Multi adapters in order to expand your network and be able to connect 

new devices (printer, modem, router, game console...). 

1. Ethernet connection and electrical connection of your new Hercules ePlug 200 adapter 

 

1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet plug 

on your new adapter.
