3.1 Overview
The PLA-4xx is designed as a plug-and-play network expanding solution. This means that
once you complete your hardware connections, the PLA-4xxs in your network (without
additional configuration) are able to communicate with each other by sending and receiving
information over your home’s electrical wiring (A). For the PLA-402 models you have the
option to use coaxial cables (B) to expand your network.
