2. INSTALLING YOUR HERCULES ePLUG 200 V2/HD
The Hercules ePlug 200 V2/HD adapter has been designed to be simple to use and install. If you have
already purchased and installed HomePlug (or PLC) adapters, Hercules provides a Quick Start Guide which
guides you through several steps to take to add your Hercules ePlug 200 adapters to your existing HomePlug
network.
If you are new to the world of HomePlug technology, we invite you to follow the pieces of advice set out in
chapters 2.1 and 2.2 in order to get started.
Otherwise, you can proceed directly to chapter 2.3. You haven't yet created a HomePlug network: initial
installation of Hercules ePlug 200 V2/HD Duo which sets out, step by step, the installation procedure for
your Hercules ePlug 200.
Finally, if you have already created a HomePlug network and wish to add a new adapter, please refer to
chapter 2.4. You have already created a HomePlug network: adding a new adapter to your network
(Hercules ePlug 200 V2/HD Solo or Duo).
2.1. How to position your Hercules ePlug 200 V2/HD
To help you connect your Hercules ePlug 200 V2/HD, start by selecting an electrical outlet near to the
equipment you wish to connect and follow the pieces of advice set out below.
To optimize the transfer of data on your electrical network, be sure to follow these
recommendations:
 You should preferably plug the adapters and devices (computer, Internet "box"...) into
separate wall outlets: one for the adapter and one for the device to be connected to the
HomePlug network.
 If you plug both an adapter and a device into the same powerstrip, the performance
(bitrate) of your network may be affected.
