Installing Your Powerline AV 500 Adapter

Prepare for Installation:

1. Before you begin, verify the following:

• Your Ethernet network is set up.

• An Ethernet port is available on your router.

• Your Internet connection is working.

• An Ethernet port is available on each computer that will use a Powerline AV Ethernet

Adapter and is configured to work on your network. Usually, the default configuration

settings (TCP/IP and DHCP) are fine.

2. Familiarize yourself with the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter.

The front panel has three lights: Power, Powerline, and Ethernet. The side panel has a

Security button, and a Reset button. The Ethernet port is located on the bottom of the

adapter. See Figure 2 on page 5.

3. Plan the location of your Powerline devices:

• Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall

switch to avoid someone

unknowingly turning off the

power to the outlet.

• Do not connect the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter to

a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector as

this might prevent it from working correctly, or reduce

the network performance.

• Avoid using the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter in an

electrical outlet that is located near an appliance that

uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer, or a

refrigerator. This could potentially prevent the adapter

from working correctly, or reduce network

performance.
