IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product is intended for connection to the AC power line. For installation instructions,

please refer to the Installation section. For removing the device, refer to the Unplug

section. The following precautions should be considered when using this product.

zPlease read all instructions before installing and operating this product.

zPlease keep all instructions for later reference.

zPlease follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

zUnplug the powerline adapter from the power outlet before cleaning the product.

Use a damp cloth for cleaning. DO NOT use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

zDO NOT operate this product near water.

zThis product should never be placed near or over a radiator, or heat register.

zThis product relies on the building’s electrical installation for short-circuit (over

current) protection.

zEnsure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120VAC/20A or 240VAC/16A

is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).

zDO NOT allow anything to rest on the product interconnect cords. DO NOT install

this product where people may walk on the cords.

zBecause the SMCHPAV-ETH device sends data over the powerline, it is

recommended that you plug it directly into a power outlet. Do not plug the device

into a UPS or power strip with surge protection. The SMCHPAV-ETH device has its

own power filter for protection against surges.

zThe product can be operated at an ambient temperature of 40oC.

zFor pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment

and shall be easily accessible.

zOnly a qualified technician should service this product. Opening or removing

covers may result in exposure to dangerous voltage points or other risks.

zUnplug the powerline adapter from the power outlet and refer the product to

qualified service personnel for the following conditions:

¾When the interconnect cords are damaged or frayed.

¾If liquid has been spilled into the product.

¾If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

¾If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are

followed.

¾If the product shows a distinct change in performance.

Chapter 1. Installation notice

The first thing you need to know before you begin to install……

1. Before installing, make sure your PC meets these requirements for hardware

installation:

zMicrosoft Windows® 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Mac OS or Linux OS

zPentium® III or better, clock rate faster than 2.0GHz recommended

zResource on your PC

At least one free Ethernet port for SMCHPAV-ETH device

2. Your PC must not be configured for another network. This means that:

zNo network clients except for Microsoft Network*, Client for Netware*

Networks, or Microsoft Family Logon* are installed

zNo network services except file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks or

Personal Web Server* are installed

zNo network protocols except Microsoft’s TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, or Net

BIOS support for IPX/SPX are installed

3. Network installation requires two steps:

1. Install the SMCHPAV-ETH device

2. For each PC to be added to the network, repeat the process

4. Check that you have the following parts for each PC on the network:

Quick installation guide for SMCHPAV-ETH device:

1. SMCHPAV-ETH device

2. Ethernet Cable (CAT 5)

5. Familiarize yourself with the Powerline device connections:

There is only one Ethernet port. This is used for the connection with PC, xDSL Router,

Cable Modem, or Wireless AP.

6. Limitation of the PLC device:

To meet the safety regulation, the longest distance between powerline devices is

limited to 100 meter and for in-house use only. More than 100 meter will cause the

signal reduction or data loss.

Chapter 2. Product Installation Guide

Important:

Do not plug the device into a power strip or surge protector because these devices may

consist of filter and impair signal. Also avoid plugging the device right next to noisy sources

such as cell phone charger, Halogen light, Energy saving bulb, noisy desktop computer,

vacuum cleaner, etc. Both cases result in poor transmission speed.

2.1 Installing the local powerline network

1. Use the supplied Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the SMCHPAV-ETH to your

PC’s Ethernet port.

2. Plug the SMCHPAV-ETH device to an AC power outlet.

3. The Power LED indicator will light on after plugging.

4. You can repeat steps 1 and 2 for connecting the more powerline devices

5. The Link LED indicator starts blinking when the data communication proceeds on

the Powerline network.

6. The Ethernet LED indicator starts blinking when the data communication proceeds

on the Ethernet network.

2.2 Sharing a xDSL or cable modem Internet connection

1. Connect one SMCHPAV-ETH device to your broadband xDSL/ Cable Router

zPlug the SMCHPAV-ETH into an AC power outlet.

zPlug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of SMCHPAV-ETH

and plug the other end of the cable into an available Ethernet port of the

broadband router.

2. Connect the other SMCHPAV-ETH device(s) to the PC(s) to share the Internet

connection

zPlug the SMCHPAV-ETH device into an AC power outlet.

zPlug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of SMCHPAV-ETH

and plug the other end of the cable into an available Ethernet port of the PC.
