For each device (router, computer, network TV, etc.) that you wish to
connect to your home network, insert one end of a LAN cable into the LAN
port on the device and insert the other end into a LAN port on one of the
adapters. Firmly insert the cable ends until they “click” into place.

• Two LAN cables are provided in the kit. If you need additional cables,

please purchase 10BaseT-100BaseTX straight-through (regular) cables.

Make sure that the PLC indicator on each adapter lights steady green. This
indicates that the adapter is able to communicate.

• To be able to communicate, the adapter must be registered. The two

adapters

in the HN-VA401SU kit have been registered at the factory. If

you are adding a separately purchased adapter, see page

11 to register

the adapter.
