Optimizing the Data Rate
A powerline network is infl uenced by
many factors. With the following steps
you can contribute to an optimal data
rate in your powerline network:
• Insert powerline devices directly into
wall outlets.
• Connect multi-outlet strips to the
outlet on your powerline adapter.
• The data rate in a powerline network
drops
for connections over multiple
–
phases
when junction boxes are located on
–
the path between your powerline
devices
when the connection has to pass
–
through a circuit breaker, dimmer
or ballast
whenever power drills or vacuum
–
cleaners are used
Attempt to minimize these infl u-
ences.

can also be managed and optimized
