You can use your PLA402 v2s to connect networking products on a home network using
the standard electrical wiring in your house. The PLA402 v2 also allows you to be more
flexible in expanding your network by adding coaxial cable capability. This expands your
HomePlug AV network across the coaxial cables in your building.
To create a secure HomePlug AV network you can use the ENCRYPT button on the rear
panel of the PLA402 v2.
As an example, this Quick Start Guide shows you how to use two PLA402 v2s (B and C) to
connect your computer (A) to a modem (D) on your home network for Internet access. You
can connect other networking products, such as a router or switch, the same way. This
example uses both a powerline connection and coaxial connection.
A
The coaxial connection offers a greater range than a powerline connection. This makes it
suitable for setting up networks in large areas such as apartment buildings, communities,
hotels and ships.
This Quick Start Guide shows you how to complete the following:
1 Connect a PLA402 v2 to a Cable/DSL modem.
2 Connect a PLA402 v2 to a computer in your home.
3 Use the PLA402 v2's ENCRYPT button to set up a HomePlug AV secure home
network.
See the User's Guide on the included CD for details on all of the PLA402 v2's features. If a
screen does not pop-up when you insert the included CD, use Windows Explorer (My
Computer) to go to the CD-ROM (commonly drive D) and browse for the User's Guide.
