ZyXEL PLA402 v2 Quick Start Guide - Page 2

ENGLISH 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 B Internet C D 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.
