Planning your Powerline Network

network can be created over residential powerline of your

house. PL-501 can be connected to Ethernet switch, hub,

and broadband router or directly connected to PC. If connect

directly to a PC, of course, the PC must be equipped with an

Ethernet card.

be found in the CD-ROM. The default password of PLANET
