Powerline Coaxial Network
Setup Tutorial
7.0.1 Overview
Use this tutorial to expand your existing powerline coaxial network.
After setting up your first home powerline coaxial network (instructions for that
are in the Quick Start Guide for your ZyXEL PLA-402 v3) you may want to extend
the network or create a new one by adding additional coaxial adapters. This
tutorial shows you the following.
• How to start up your new coaxial adapter. You need to do this before you can
begin the next sections.
• How to make your existing powerline coaxial network bigger by adding new
coaxial adapters.
• How to make a new network separate from your existing network with new
coaxial adapters.
• How to make a new, separate powerline coaxial network with the coaxial
adapters you have.
The tutorial uses the PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility to set up your
coaxial adapter.
If you haven’t already installed the utility, see Chapter 2 on page 21 for
instructions. If you do not have the CD with the utility, the utility software is also
available for download at www.zyxel.com. Navigate to the coaxial products section
of the ZyXEL website to find this software. Follow the instructions provided by the
software to install it on your computer.
See the product specifications in the User’s Guide for a list of hardware and
software compatible with the utility.
Note: The PLA-402 v3 in this tutorial is an example only. Your coaxial adapter may be
different.
