How the PowerLINE Adapter Fits Into Your Network
You can use one or more PowerLINE adapters to extend Internet access throughout your home.
A PowerLINE network consists of two or more compatible PowerLINE devices that communicate with each
other using your electrical power lines. One of the PowerLINE devices is connected with an Ethernet cable
to your router so that the PowerLINE network is linked to your local area network (LAN). Connecting one
Pow erLINE device to your router allo ws all the Po werLINE devices on the P owerLINE network to communicate
with the router and use its Internet connection.
The following illustration sho ws a PowerLINE network with one PowerLINE device in Room 1 and a second
PowerLINE device in Room 2.
Figure 8. Poweline adapters connecting two rooms
To form a PowerLINE network, you need at least two compatible PowerLINE devices.
PowerLINE Networks

PowerLINE
For best performance, follow these guidelines when you plan the location of your PowerLINE devices:
• Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to a void accidentally turning off the power
to the outlet.
• Avoid plugging P o werLINE products into electrical outlets that are located near appliances that consume
a lot of power, such as washers, dryers, or refrigerators. Interference from these appliances might
prevent PowerLINE products from working correctly or reduce PowerLINE network performance.
• Do not plug PowerLINE products into a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector. Connecting a
Pow erLINE product to one of these devices might prevent the product from working correctly or reduce
PowerLINE network performance.
Set Up a New PowerLINE Network
You can use two or more Po werLINE adapters to f orm a network or extend an e xisting netw ork to additional
wired Ethernet devices.
Pow erLINE networks use an encryption key common to all adapters on the network.Y ou can use the def ault
key or a private key.We recommend that you use a private key.This procedure sets a private key.
To set up a new PowerLINE network:
1. If you are extending an existing wired network, make sure that your wired Ethernet connections are
working by navigating to a web page from a computer connected to your router or gateway using an
Ethernet cable.
2. Plug one PowerLINE device into a wall outlet near your router or gateway.

About PowerLINE Network Security
A PowerLINE network consists of two or more P owerLINE devices using the same network encryption key.
By setting up security, you configure your PowerLINE network to use a private key instead of the default
key. If y ou do not set up security on your netw ork, any one nearby with a PowerLINE network can potentially
use his or her connection to gain access to your network and information that you send over the Internet.
You can use the Security button on the PowerLINE device to create a private encryption key and secure
your PowerLINE network. See Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key on page 20.
Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key
All PowerLINE networks start with the same default encryption key.You can use the Security button to
replace the default key with a random private key.This is especially relevant in settings such as apartment
buildings, office buildings, dorm rooms, and other more populated areas.
A Pow erLINE device can generate a random private encryption key only once. If you
Note
want to generate a new random key, first reset the PowerLINE device to its factory
default settings. Press the Factory Reset button for two seconds, and then release
it.
To set the encryption key:
1. Make sure that all of the P o werLINE devices that you want to configure are plugged in by checking that
the Power and Pick A Plug LEDs on each device are lit solid green.
Do not press the Security button on the P owerLINE de vices until the Power and Pick
Note
A Plug LEDs on each PowerLINE device are lit solid green. Pressing the Security
button too soon can temporarily disable PowerLINE communication. If PowerLINE
communication is disabled, reset the P o w erLINE de vice to its factory default settings
by pressing the Factory Reset button for two seconds and then releasing it.
2. Press the Security button on the first PowerLINE device for two seconds.
The Pow er LED starts blinking after you release the button, and then the P owerLINE de vice automatically
creates a new , randomly gener ated encryption key that all other P o werLINE de vices on the network will
use.
At this point, the PowerLINE devices cannot communicate with each other.
3. Within two minutes of pressing the Security button on the first PowerLINE device, press the Security
button on the second PowerLINE device for two seconds.
You must press both Security buttons within two minutes.
The Pow er LED starts blinking after you release the b utton.This process allows the second Pow erLINE
device to use the same private encryption key as the first device so that they can communicate.

Safety Information
Follow these safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your system from
potential damage:
• For national approvals (approval schemes other than CB), relevant national standards for plug,
socket-outlet, and direct plug-in units (for example, US) shall also be consulted while you are testing
and approving such products according to the national standards.
• Check the electrical current for any device plugged into the filtered AC socket. Do not exceed home
and product outlet ratings and electrical requirements.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible.
• Only power cords are allowed to be inserted into the filtered AC sock et; no other equipment with a direct
plug-in is allowed. Power cords must be a maximum of 1 m long and a minimum of 0.75 mm2 of
cross-sectional area.
• Do not plug devices into the PowerLINE PassThru Adapter filtered AC outlet that exceed the product
ratings.The output voltage of the filtered AC outlet is the same as the power outlet that the P owerLINE
PassThru Adapter is plugged into.To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the attached
devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
• If the input AC voltage is less than 100 VAC, the device plugged into the filtered AC socket of the
PowerLINE PassThru Adapter might not perform as well as expected.
• DO NOT PLUG MAJOR HOME APPLIANCES into the filtered AC socket or into an attached power
strip.The device is not intended to be used with home appliances such as air conditioners, power tools,
space heaters, fans, hair dryers, ovens, or refrigerators.
• Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of
network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, low er actual data throughput
rate.
• Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation.
• Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt can e xpose
you to electrical shock. Only a trained service technician should service components inside these
compartments.
• Use the product only with approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
• T o help a void damaging y our system, be sure that the voltage selection s witch (if provided) on the power
supply is set to match the power available at your location:
- 110 volts (V), 60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries
such as South Korea and Taiwan
- 100V, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100V, 60 Hz in western Japan
- 230V, 50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
