3. Powerline Ethernet Bridge Installation 

3.1 Hardware Installation 

1. Plug one end of an UTP category 5 cable into the computer, switch or hub

’

s LAN 

port. 

2. Plug the other end of the network cable into the 10/100 RJ-45 Ethernet ports on 

PL-103E. 

3. Plug the PL-103E to the power outlet. 

NOTE:

 Because PL-103E sends data over the powerline of your house, it is best 

to plug it directly into a power outlet. Do not plug PL-103E into a UPS power strip 

with surge protection. PL-103E has its own power filter for protection against 

surges. 

4. Perform procedure 1~3 for all other PL-103E on your network. 

 

3.2 Driver Installation 

PL-103E does not need any driver to work if connected to a PC, since the PC should 

install an Ethernet Adapter and its driver already.
