Chapter 1 Introduction to Powerline Networking

Powerline Network Adapter

Chapter 1: Introduction to

Powerline Networking

How Powerline Networking Works

Powerlines run through your home or office, carrying

electrical power to electrical outlets in every room.

The typical wired Ethernet network uses Ethernet network

cables to connect your wired network devices. A powerline

network uses your existing powerlines as the wiring for

your powerline network.

To create your powerline network, use Powerline

Adapters. Each device on your powerline network requires

connection to a Powerline Adapter.

The Powerline Network Adapter (model number: PLTE200)

features one Ethernet port and connects to the following:

an electrical outlet•

a computer or other Ethernet network device (using•

an Ethernet cable)

The Powerline 4-Port Network Adapter (model number:

PLTS200) features four Ethernet ports and connects to the

following:

an electrical outlet•

up to four computers or other Ethernet network•

devices (using Ethernet cables)

How to Share Internet Access over the

Powerline Network

To share Internet access over the powerline network,

add your router to the powerline network. Connect a

Powerline Adapter to one of the local Ethernet network

ports on your router. Then connect the Powerline Adapter

to an electrical outlet.

The diagram below shows the connections of a basic

powerlinenetwork.Theconnectionsbetweenthe Internet,

modem, and router stay the same.

Using an Ethernet network cable, the router is connected

to its Powerline Adapter, which is plugged into an electrical

outlet.

A Powerline Network in a Two-Story House

This diagram shows a basic powerline network in a

two-story house. The router upstairs is connected to its

Powerline Adapter, which is plugged into an electrical

outlet. Downstairs, the gaming console and a computer

share their Powerline 4-Port Network Adapter, which is

plugged into an electrical outlet.

Using the powerlines of the home, the router expands

your local network to include the gaming console and

desktop computer in the living room. Internet access and

files can be shared between your computers and other

networked devices.

For online gaming, you can play downstairs in the comfort

of your living room, while taking advantage of your router

and high-speed Internet connection upstairs.

Placement Options

There are three ways to place the Powerline Adapter. The

first way is horizontal placement on a surface. The second

way is vertical placement on a stand. The third way is wall-

mounting.

Horizontal Placement

Place the Powerline Adapter on a level surface near an

electrical outlet.

Vertical Placement

The stand fits only on the side panel adjacent to the Power

port. Insert the stand into the side panel, and then place

the Powerline Adapter on a level surface near an electrical

outlet.

NOTE: When the Powerline Adapter is on the

stand, the Power port is closest to the stand.

Wall-Mounting Placement

ThePowerlineAdapterhasfourwall-mountslotsonitsback

panel. The distance between two adjacent slots is 60 mm

(2.36 inches).

Two screws are needed to mount the Powerline Adapter.

Suggested Mounting Hardware

2-2.5 mm

4 mm 1-1.5 mm

Note: Mounting hardware illustrations are not†

true to scale.

NOTE: Linksys is not responsible for damages

incurred by insecure wall-mounting hardware.

Follow these instructions:

Determine where you want to mount the Powerline1.

Adapter. Make sure that the wall you use is smooth,

flat, dry, and sturdy. Also make sure the location is

within reach of an electrical outlet.

Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are2.

60 mm (2.36 inches) apart.

Chapter 2 Product Overview

Powerline Network Adapter

Insert a screw into each hole and leave 3 mm3.

(0.12 inches) of its head exposed.

Maneuver the Powerline Adapter so the two wall-4.

mount slots line up with the two screws.

Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide5.

the Powerline Adapter down until the screws fit snugly

into the wall-mount slots.

60 mm

Wall Mounting Template

Print this page at 100% size, and cut along the dotted line.

Check the template’s accuracy by measuring the distance

between the wall-mount slots with a ruler. This distance

should be 60 mm. Then place the template on the wall to

drill precise spacing.
