After you install the HDX111 Adapters, your network will combine an Ethernet portion,
where the devices are connected with cables, with a Powerline portion, where the devices
are connected over your electrical wires.

Preparing for Installation
To prepare for installation:
1.
Before you begin, verify the following:
•
Your Ethernet network is set up and an Ethernet port is available on your router.
•
Your Internet connection is working.
•
Each computer that will use the HDX111 Adapter has an Ethernet port available
and is configured to work on your network. Usually, the default configuration
settings (TCP/IP and DHCP) are fine.

Plan the location of your Powerline devices.
•
Do not connect the HDX111 to a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector
as this might prevent it from working properly or degrade the network
performance.

•
For best Powerline performance, plan to connect adjacent electrical appliances of
up to 15 amps directly to the pass-through AC outlet. The outlet filters out noise
that affects Powerline performance.
