The first thing you need to know before you begin to install the CD
1. Before installing, make sure your PC meets these requirements
for hardware installation:
• Microsoft Windows® 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Mac OS or linux OS
• Pentium® III or better, clock rate faster than 2.0GHz recommended
• At least one free Ethernet port for 500Mbps PLC Nano.
• 2.YourPCmustnotbeconguredforanothernetwork.Thismeansthat:
• No network clients except for Microsoft Network*, Client for Netware*
Networks, or Microsoft Family Logon* are installed.
• NonetworkservicesexceptleandprintersharingforMicrosoftNetworks
or Personal Web Server* are installed
• No network protocols except Microsoft’s TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, or
Net BIOS support for IPX/SPX are installed
3. Network installation requires two steps:
• Install the 500Mbps PLC NANO
• For each PC to be added to the network, repeat the process
4. Check that you have the following parts for each PC on the network:
• Product installation guide for 500Mbps PLC NANO
• 500Mbps PLC NANO
• Ethernet Cable (CAT 5)

5. Familiarize yourself with the Powerline device connections:
• There is only one Ethernet port. This is used for the connection with PC,
xDSL/Router, Cable Modem, or Wireless AP.
6. Limitation of the PLC device:
• To meet the safety regulation, the longest distance between powerline
carrier devices will be limited at 200 meter and for in-house use only.
More than 200 meter will cause the signal reduction or data loss.
• Always connect to the nearest source where possible and avoid exten-
sions power connectors. Every step that brings you further away from the
source (your power network) will cause signal reduction or loss.
• There are some limitations in regards to the house main installation.
Some phase jumps might not be possible or cause signal reduction or loss.
Product Installation Guide
Notice:
Do not plug the device into a power strip or surge protector because these
devicesmayconsistoflterandimpairsignal.Alsoavoidpluggingthe
device right next to noisy sources such as cell phone charger, Halogen light,
Energy saving bulb, noisy desktop computer, vacuum cleaner, etc. Both
cases result in poor transmission speed. Nevertheless, you can put the
noisysourcetothePassThrough’soutlet.Theoutletwilllteroutthenoise
and improve the Powerline communication performance.
To install for the PC local Powerline network
• Use the supplied Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect powerline product
and your PC’s Ethernet port.

• Plug the powerline product to power outlet.
• The PWR LED indicator will light on after plugging.
• You can repeat steps 1 and 2 for connecting the others.
• The PLC-ACT LED indicator starts blinking when the data communication
proceeds on Powerline.
• The ETH-ACT LED indicator starts blinking when the data communication
proceeds on Ethernet.
To share a xDSL or cable modem with Internet access service
1. Connect one powerline product to the broadband router
• Plug the powerline into an AC outlet.
• Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of the
powerline product and plug the other end of the cable into an available
Ethernet port of the Router.
2. Connect the other powerline products(s) to the PC(s) to share the Internet access
• Plug the Bridge into an AC outlet.
• Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of the powerline
product and plug the other end of the cable into Ethernet port on the PC.
As wireless AP (Access Point) Extender
1. Connect one powerline to the broadband router
• Plug the Bridge into an AC outlet.
• Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of the
powerline product and plug the other end of the cable into an available
Ethernet port of the broadband router.
2. Connect the other 500 NANO to the wireless AP.
• Plug the Bridge into an AC outlet.
• Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of the powerline prod-
uct and plug the other end of the cable into the Ethernet port on the wireless AP.

mode, if you plug the device to outlet and no Ethernet link detected after booted
and 60 second later. If you unplug the Ethernet cable, it will get into standby mode
after 60 seconds. Under standby mode, PLC and ETH LEDs will both be off.
Push Buttons (Only applicable for models with push button)
Push button functions are disabled under Standby mode.
NID/RST Button Usage:
1. Set 2 devices into same group (private network):
Step 1. Press and hold the device’s “NID/RST” button for less 3 seconds at same
time. You can release the button these device would into same private network.
2. Add a new device to the existing private network:
Step 1. Plug the new device and one grouped device. Press and hold its “NID/
RST ” button less 3 seconds at same time.
Step 2. The new device starts to communicate with the device from existing
private network, and tries to join this existing private network.
Step 3. If failed, please repeat Step 1 to Step 2 again.
