[. . . ] This is used for the connection with PC, xDSL Router, Cable Modem, or Wireless AP. Limitation of the PLC device: To meet the safety regulation, the longest distance between powerline devices is limited to 100 meter and for in-house use only. More than 100 meter will cause the signal reduction or data loss. 8 Chapter 2. Product Installation Guide Important: Do not plug the device into a power strip or surge protector because these devices may consist of filter and impair signal. Also avoid plugging the 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. 2. 1 Installing the local powerline network 1. Use the supplied Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the SMCHPAV-ETH to your PC's Ethernet port. You can repeat steps 1 and 2 for connecting the more powerline devices The Link LED indicator starts blinking when the data communication proceeds on the Powerline network. The Ethernet LED indicator starts blinking when the data communication proceeds on the Ethernet network. 2. Connect one SMCHPAV-ETH device to your broadband xDSL/ Cable Router Plug the SMCHPAV-ETH into an AC power outlet. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of SMCHPAV-ETH and plug the other end of the cable into an available Ethernet port of the broadband router. Connect the other SMCHPAV-ETH device(s) to the PC(s) to share the Internet connection Plug the SMCHPAV-ETH device into an AC power outlet. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of SMCHPAV-ETH and plug the other end of the cable into an available Ethernet port of the PC. 9 2. 3 Extending a wireless network with powerline to share an Internet connection 1. Connect one SMCHPAV-ETH device to the broadband router Plug the SMCHPAV-ETH into an AC power outlet. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of SMCHPAV-ETH and plug the other end of the cable into an available Ethernet port of the broadband router. Connect the other SMCHPAV-ETH adapter to the wireless Access Point (AP) Plug the SMCHPAV-ETH device into an AC power outlet. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of SMCHAV-ETH and plug the other end of the cable into the Ethernet port on the wireless AP. 10 Chapter 3. Utility This Windows utility enables users to find the SMCHPAV-ETH on the Powerline network, measures data transfer rates, ensures privacy and performs diagnostics. 3. 1 System Requirements Operation System CPU RAM Free Disk Space Network Interface Microsoft Windows® 2000, XP, Vista Intel Pentium III or better, clock rate faster than 2. 0GHz recommended Minimum 128MB Minimum 20MB One Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) network card with RJ45 port, one RJ45 Ethernet cable 3. 2 Installation Step1. Before installing this utility, please verify that there is no any other Powerline utility installed on your computer. If there is another utility installed, please uninstall it and restart your computer before installing the SMCHPAV-ETH utility. Please insert the SMCHPAV-ETH CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive. You can add or chance the password by selecting a device and clicking the "Enter Password" button. [. . . ] "Print Report. . .
