Planning your Powerline Network

With  a 

PL-501

  and  the  other  Powerline  device  installed,  a 

network  can  be  created  over  residential  powerline  of  your 
house. 

PL-501

  can  be  connected  to  Ethernet  switch,  hub, 

and  broadband  router  or  directly  connected  to  PC.    If  connect 
directly  to  a  PC,  of  course,  the  PC  must  be  equipped  with  an 
Ethernet card.

All  the  Powerline  devices  on  the  network  must  use  the  same 
password  to  communicate  each  other.  This  password  can  be 

configured  through  the  Powerline  Configuration  utility  that  can 

be  found  in  the  CD-ROM.    The  default  password  of  PLANET 
powerline  devices  is 

“HomePlugAV”

.  Thus,  all  the  PLANET 

powerline  devices  can  communicate  each  other  without  prior 

password  configuration.  Please  refer  to  User’s  Manual  on  detail 
of installing and using Powerline Configuration utility.
