XE102 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Bridge User Guide
4
v1.0, June 2007
Connect an XE102 Ethernet Bridge to the Router
1. Disconnect your router from its power adapter.
2. Plug the XE102 Ethernet Bridge into an electrical outlet. Make sure that the electrical outlet is
not controlled by a wall switch so as to avoid someone unknowingly turning off power. Check
that the XE102 power light comes on.
3. Use the
provided Ethernet cable to connect the XE102 Ethernet Bridge to an available
Ethernet LAN port on your router.
4. Apply power to your router. Wait for the router to indicate that the LAN port that is connected
to the XE102 Ethernet Bridge is linked and active. On the XE102, check that the Ethernet and
Powerline status LEDs are on and blinking. Refer to Table 1 for a detailed explanation of the
LED behavior.
Connect Other XE102 Ethernet Bridges
1. Plug your other PowerLine devices into power outlets in your home near to the other
computers and peripherals to be included in your PowerLine local area network.
2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on each of the computers and peripherals to
the nearest PowerLine device.
3. When you plug in a second Ethernet bridge into a power outlet, check the HomePlug LEDs.
They should turn on and then briefly blink at the same time as the Ethernet activity LED.
Warning: Do not connect the Ethernet bridges to power strips,
extension cords, or surge protectors as this may prevent them
from working properly or degrade the network performance.
Do not tie or twist the XE102 power cord with the dual output
cable, or any other Ethernet cable, as this may degrade the
network performance.
Tip: Before plugging in your other PowerLine devices, write down the device password
on the label. You will need it if you want to set up a PowerLine network password. If
you are working with several PowerLine devices, write down their MAC addresses.
