Tips for Using PowerLinc Modem
• Do not plug PowerLinc Modem into a power strip or AC line filter.
• Some computers and their accessories can absorb PowerLinc Carrier (PLC) signals off the power lines.
Since PowerLinc Modem will be so close to the computer,
the power strip for the computer should be
filtered.
Use Smarthome’s FilterLinc
TM
#1626 on the computer’s power strip to keep the PowerLinc
Modem’s signals from getting absorbed by the computer equipment.
• Don't plug other PLC transmitters into the same outlet as PowerLinc Modem. Every PLC transmitter will
absorb the other transmitter's PLC signals when they are not transmitting. In some cases, up to half
the signal can be lost due to nearby transmitters.
• If the computer's serial port is shared with another hardware device (scanner, pda, etc.) be sure to turn
off that device's program on the PC. If left running, the home automation software will not be able to
communicate to the PowerLinc Modem.
