Introduction

How does it work?

Each HD-PLC adaptor has an AC cord that plugs into a wall outlet. This connection 
not only powers the adaptor, but also allows the adaptor to communicate with the 
other adaptors in your home using your existing electrical wiring. Each adaptor also 
has a LAN jack, which connects each adaptor to your broadband router, hub, 
computer, network printer, network camera, etc.
Once your adaptors are registered, simply plug them into the wall outlets around 
your home. (The included adaptors are already registered. To register additional 
adaptors, see page 15.) Finally, connect the master adaptor to your broadband 
internet router or modem, and then connect the other adaptors to your network 
devices (computers, network printers, network cameras, etc.). When you’re 
finished, your network devices will be able to access the internet as well as each 
other.

Example of an integrated HD-PLC network

Master and terminal adaptors

Before using your adaptors, it is important to understand the concept of a “master” 
adaptor and a “terminal” adaptor.
An HD-PLC network contains at least 2 adaptors. 

One (and only one) adaptor 

must be configured as the master. All other adaptors are configured as 
terminals.

 (A maximum of 15 terminals per network is recommended.) An adaptor 

is configured as either a master or a terminal during registration (see page 15). For 
simplicity, we recommend configuring the adaptor that is directly connected to one 
of your router’s LAN ports as the master.
