3. Plug the Bridge into an electrical outlet.
The installation of the Bridge is complete.
If you want to configure the Bridge, proceed to “Chapter 6: Using the PowerLine Configuration Utility.”
Connecting to a Router
If you want to connect the Bridge to a router, then proceed to the next section, “Connecting to a Router.”
If you want to share high-speed Internet access across a powerline network, then you can choose to connect the
Bridge to a router.
Follow these instructions:
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.
IMPORTANT: Because the Bridge sends data over the power lines of your house, plug the
Bridge directly into an electrical outlet. Do not plug the device into a UPS or power strip with
surge protection. The Bridge has its own power filter for protection against surges.
