The PLA-402 allows you to be more flexible in expanding your network by adding the coaxial
cable capability.
Figure 2 Expand Your Network with the PLA-402 over Coaxial Cable Wiring
As well as being able to connect your PLA-402 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.
1.3 Ways to Manage the PLA-4xx
Use any of the following methods to manage the PLA-4xx.
• The PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility. This is recommended for everyday
management of the PLA-4xx. See Section 2.2 on page 19 for instructions on installing the
utility.
1.4 Security
Since your powerline network may extend outside your premises, it is important to set up
security on your PLA-4xx.
