5.0.4 Adding a Powerline Adapter
This section shows you how to add a new powerline adapter to expand your existing network.
The figure below shows the family computer with Internet access on a powerline network. Expand
the network by adding a new powerline adapter connected to a printer.

Add a Printer to Your Powerline Network
Note: You do not need to know the network name of the new adapter to add it to your
network.
1
Connect your computer to the powerline adapter you want to add to your network and open the
PLA42xx Series Configuration Utility (see
Section 5.0.3 on page 38 ).
2
The utility should open to the configuration tab. On this screen in the Site column your new
powerline adapter should appear as Local (A). Check the Local adapter’s MAC address (B). It
should match the MAC address listed on the label on the back of your powerline adapter.
