IMPORTANT:
Do NOT use a switch to connect multiple powerline devices to your PC’s Ethernet
port. Each powerline device should be connected to its own Ethernet port on the PC.
1.
Plug the included Category 5 Ethernet network cable into the computer’s Ethernet port.
2.
Plug the other end of the cable into the Ethernet port of the Bridge.
3.
Plug the Bridge into an electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: Because the Bridge sends data over the power lines of your
house, plug the Bridge directly into an electrical outlet. Do not plug the device
into a UPS or power strip with surge protection. The Bridge has its own power
filter for protection against surges.
The installation of the Bridge is complete. If you want to configure the Bridge, proceed to
“Chapter 5: Using the PowerLine Configuration Utility.”
