Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA-4xx

PLA-4xx Series User’s Guide

The PLA402 v2 allows you to be more flexible in expanding your network by adding the 
coaxial cable capability.

Expand Your Network with the PLA402 v2 over Coaxial Cable Wiring

As well as being able to connect your PLA402 v2 to a power outlet, you also have the option 
of connecting to a coaxial cable outlet. Connect other powerline adapters in your powerline 
network to coaxial cable outlets on the same line. Then set up your network with additional 
devices such as a computer or printer the same way you would set up a powerline network on 
an electrical circuit.
If you are setting up a coaxial connection in a room with only one coaxial outlet you can use a 
coaxial splitter to connect more than one device. For example, if you want to connect a TV and 
a PLA402 v2 to a single outlet you could use a coaxial splitter.

Use the ENCRYPT button to add powerline devices to your powerline network if they have 
this button. See 

 for instructions on using the ENCRYPT feature.

Use the PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility (or utility, for short) to manage the PLA-4xx. 
See 

 for instructions on installing the utility.

Use the firmware detection and firmware upgrade tools to upgrade to the latest firmware. 
Because the latest PLA-4xxs are only compatible with other powerline devices with the latest 
HomePlug AV firmware, as well as the latest version Utility, these tools are available to help 
you upgrade. You can download both of these tools from the ZyXEL website 
(www.zyxel.com.tw). See 

 for information in using these tools.
