Start Here
These instructions explain how to add XE103 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Adapteres to your
existing network. To do this, you complete these two simple steps:

How the XE103 PowerLine Adapter Fits in Your
Network
After you install the XE103 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Adapters, your network will combine
these two elements:
•
An Ethernet portion where the devices are connected with cables.
•
A PowerLine portion where the devices are connected over your electrical power
wires.
The encryption of the information you send over the PowerLine helps keep it secure. This
security feature is especially relevant in settings like apartment buildings.
