PowerLINE 2000 For best performance, follow these guidelines when you plan the location of your PowerLINE devices: • Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to avoid accidentally turning off the power to the outlet. • Avoid plugging PowerLINE products into electrical outlets that are located near appliances that consume a lot of power, such as washers, dryers, or refrigerators. Interference from these appliances might prevent PowerLINE products from working correctly or reduce PowerLINE network performance. • Do not plug PowerLINE products into a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector. Connecting a PowerLINE product to one of these devices might prevent the product from working correctly or reduce PowerLINE network performance. Set Up a New PowerLINE Network You can use two or more PowerLINE adapters to form a network or extend an existing network to additional wired Ethernet devices. PowerLINE networks use an encryption key common to all adapters on the network.You can use the default key or a private key. We recommend that you use a private key. This procedure sets a private key. To set up a new PowerLINE network: 1. If you are extending an existing wired network, make sure that your wired Ethernet connections are working by navigating to a web page from a computer connected to your router or gateway using an Ethernet cable. 2. Plug one PowerLINE device into a wall outlet near your router or gateway. PowerLINE Networks 10
