3.1 Adapter Installation
The installation of the adapter is straightforward; simply plug the adapter into the electrical outlet and
connect your PC or any other equipment to it.
However, to optimize the performance of your PLC network you should take care to:
• Plug the adapter directly into the wall outlet;
• Not to use extension cords or power strips with the adapter.
