1.1 Introduction
One of the major drawbacks in setting up home network is the
absence of required wiring inside the house to interconnect
networked computers. In recent years several technologies have
attempted to address the issue. The most prominent technology so
far is the family of WIFI (802.11 X) products. Recently, however,
another technology called HomePlug has come forth. It uses
electrical grids, already available inside walls to transmit data from
computer to computer. HomePlug technology modulates computer
data in a way to enable them use power grid as a medium of
transmission from point to point. Using this technology, two
computers have a virtual Ethernet connection without the need to
be physically connected to each other.
The PowerLine Ethernet Adapterhas 3 indicator lights (LEDs) and
an Ethernet port. The LEDs depict the connection status, as well as
other information, enabling detailed diagnosis of system
malfunction. The Ethernet port is to connect to a device in the
home network. The PowerLine Ethernet Adapterhas a standard
power plug for connection to a power outlet.
Computer networking in the office or at home has the following
advantages:
