1.0 Safety Instruction
Unplug the AC coupler from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. DO NOT use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator, or heat register. This product relies on the building’s electrical installation for short-circuit (over current) protection. DO NOT allow anything to rest on the product interconnect cords. DO NOT locate this product where people may walk on the cords. Because the 500Mbps PLC Ethernet Bridge product sends data over the powerline, it is recommended that you plug directly into a power outlet. Do not plug the device into a UPS or power strip with surge protection. The 500Mbps PLC Ethernet Bridge product has its own power filter for protection against surges.
Congratulations to the Purchase of PL0008 !
Please read the Manual and Safety Instructions before using the product for the first time. Otherwise damage can be the result.

3.0 Installation
3.1 Notice before installation
Your PC mu s t not be c onfigured for another network. This
means:
1. No network clients except for Microsoft Network*, Client for Netware* Networks, or Microsoft Family Logon* are installed.
2. No network services except file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks or Personal Web Server* are installed
3. No network protocols except Microsoft’s TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, or Net BIOS support for IPX/SPX are installed
Network installation requires two steps:
1. Install the 500Mbps PLC Ethernet Bridge
2. For each PC to be added to the network, repeat the process
Check that you have the following parts for each PC on the
network:
1. 500Mbps PLC Ethernet Bridge
2. Ethernet Cable (CAT 5)

Familiarize yourself with the Powerline device
connections:
There is only one Ethernet port. This is used for the connection with PC, xDSL/Router, Cable Modem, or Wireless AP.
Limitation of the PLC device:
To meet the safety regulation, the longest distance between powerline carrier devices will be limited at 200 meter and for in-house use only. More than 200 meter will cause the signal reduction or data loss.
3.2 Installing
Do not plug the device into a power strip or surge protector because these devices may consist of filter and impair signal. Also avoid plugging the device right next to noisy sources such as cell phone charger, Halogen light, Energy saving bulb, noisy desktop computer, vacuum cleaner, etc. Both cases result in poor transmission speed.
To install for the PC local Powerline network
1. Use the supplied Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect
Ethernet Bridge and your PC’s Ethernet port.
2. Plug the Ethernet Bridge to outlet.
3. The PWR LED indicator will light on after plugging.
4. You can repeat steps 1 and 2 for connecting the others.
5. The PL-ACT LED indicator starts blinking when the data
communication proceeds on Powerline.
6. The ETH-ACT LED indicator starts blinking when the data
communication proceeds on Ethernet.
To share a xDSL or cable modem with Internet access
service
1. Connect one Ethernet Bridge to the broadband router
a. Plug the Ethernet Bridge into an AC outlet. b. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector
of the Bridge and plug the other end of the cable into an available Ethernet port of the Router.

2. Connect the other Ethernet Bridge(s) to the PC(s) to share
the Internet access a. Plug the Bridge into an AC outlet. b. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector
of the Bridge and plug the other end of the cable into Ethernet port on the PC.
As wireless AP (Access Point) Extender
1. Connect one Ethernet Bridge to the broadband router a. Plug the Bridge into an AC outlet. b. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector
of the Bridge and plug the other end of the cable into an available Ethernet port of the broadband router.
2. Connect the other Ethernet Bridge to the wireless AP a. Plug the Bridge into an AC outlet. b. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector
of the Bridge and plug the other end of the cable into the Ethernet port on the wireless AP.

*1 : The “PWR“ LED indicator will blink in standby mode. It will
automatically get into standby mode, if the Ethernet-link is lost for 60 seconds. If you unplug the Ethernet cable, it will get into standby mode after 60 seconds. Under standby mode, PLC and ETH LEDs will both be off.

Push Buttons
Push button functions are disabled under Standby mode.
NID/RST Button Usage:
1. Set 2 device into same group (private network):
Step 1. Press and hold the device’s “NID/RST” button for less 3 seconds at same time. You canrelease the button this device would into same private network.
2. Add a new device to the existing private network:
Step 1. Plug the new device and one grouped device. Press and hold its “NID/RST ” button less 3 seconds at same time. Step 2. The new device starts to communicate with the device from existing private network, and tries to join this existing private network. Step 3. If failed, please repeat Step 1 to Step 2 again.
3. Leave the private network:
Step 1. If the device wants to leave the private network, press and hold the device’s “NID/ RST” button for 5-10 seconds to randomize the network encryption setting. This device will leave the private network.
4. Reset the device to the factory default setting:
Push the device’s “NID/RST” button for 10-15 sec seconds. You will see the device’s all LEDs are off and restart. The device’s setting resets to the “factory defaults”.
