Bridge Connections & LED Indicators
NOTE: To connect the powerline network to the Ethernet network, this device can
be attached to a LAN switch port; however, each PC or server on the powerline
network needs to be directly attached to its
own HomePlug bridge.
1. Plug the Cat5e cable into the Ethernet
ports of the computer and the bridge.
2. Plug the electrical cable into the electrical
port.
IMPORTANT: Because the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS
HomePlug Turbo Ethernet Bridge sends data over a home’s power lines,
plug it directly into an electrical outlet. It’s recommended not to plug the device
into a power strip with surge protection. And do not plug the device into a UPS:
The bridge has its own power filter for protection against surges.
The installation of the bridge is complete. To configure the bridge, proceed to
Section 4: Configuration Utility.
Router Connections
If you want to connect the bridge to a router, disconnect the network cable from
the PC and connect it to the uplink port of the router. If you only have a LAN port
available on the router, then use a crossover Category 5 Ethernet network cable
to connect the bridge to the router. The installation of the bridge is complete.
4. configuration utility
After installing the bridge, run the Setup Wizard to install the Configuration Utility. Use
this utility to check the PC’s direct connection to the AC power line network, search for
HomePlug devices on your network, and set up security using a network password.
