EtherFast® 10/100 Bridge and USB Adapter Chapter 5: Planning Your Powerline Network With the Instant PowerLine products, a network can be created using home powerlines. Computers can be networked over powerlines using a USB Adapter or an EtherFast 10/100 Bridge. Use the USB Adapter for a USB-enabled computer, or use the 10/100 Bridge for an Ethernet-enabled computer. The 10/100 Bridge is also ideal for any user who already has a router and wants to share high-speed Internet access across the powerline network. Connect the Bridge to the router after you have configured the Bridge using the Security Configuration Utility. Connect a straight-through UTP Category 5 cable to the uplink port of the router, or connect a crossover UTP Category 5 cable to a LAN port on the router. Figure 5-1 8 9
