Dependent upon the type of broadband Internet subscription, one or more
computers or network devices can share the broadband Internet subscription.
Contact your Internet service provider for more information.
When two or more network devices share the broadband Internet subscription, a
router is required. When your Internet service provider did not provide a modem
with an integrated router, you must install a separate router.
Refer to www.philips.com/ce for the latest Philips routers (base stations).
Connect a computer (option A2+)
It is not necessary to install a driver in the connected PC for the powerline ethernet
adapter. However, the Ethernet adapter in the connected PC needs a driver to
operate correctly.

Introduction
You can enable and disable personal security of the data transmissions with the security
CD and a computer with one of these operating systems:
• Microsoft Windows® 2000
• Microsoft Windows® XP
To enable personal security, drivers must be installed. These drivers communicate
with the powerline ethernet adapters.
The default security code is: HomePlug.

Powerline ethernet networks
The advertised maximum speed between two SYE3600 powerline ethernet adapters
is 14 Mbit/s. The 14 Mbit/s includes the added data that is necessary to send the actual
data from one powerline ethernet adapter to another. In a ‘clean’ environment, the
maximum data speed between two SYE3600 powerline ethernet adapters can be up
to 5 Mbit/s.
The advertised maximum speed between two SYE5600 powerline ethernet adapters
is 85 Mbit/s. The 85 Mbit/s includes the added data that is necessary to send the actual
data from one powerline ethernet adapter to another. In a ‘clean’ environment, the
maximum data speed between two SYE5600 powerline ethernet adapters can be up
to 25 Mbit/s.
How ‘clean’ the powerline ethernet network is, is dependent upon:
• The quality of the cables of the electric installation.
• The number of connected powerline ethernet adapters. Each powerline ethernet
adapter gets a part of the available bandwidth. The higher the number of connected
powerline ethernet adapters, the lower the bandwidth per powerline ethernet
adapter. The maximum number of powerline ethernet adapters on the same
powerline ethernet network is 15.
• The distance between the powerline ethernet adapters. The maximum cable length
between two powerline ethernet adapters is 200 m.
• The electrical noise in the powerline ethernet network. For example, washing
machines, cell phone chargers and light dimmers can cause electrical noise.
• The way in which the powerline ethernet adapter is connected to the power supply
in the wall. We recommend you to connect the powerline ethernet adapter as close
to a wall as possible. If possible, do not use an uninterrupted power supplies or
multi-way sockets to connect the powerline ethernet adapter to the power supply
in the wall.
• The shortage of phase couplers in the electric installation. For an optimal connection
from a powerline ethernet adapter on one phase to another powerline ethernet
adapter on another phase, the phases must be coupled.
