the Extender’s Configuration Utility on a computer connected to the Homeline
network, and how to access the Homeline network (via the Extender) with a wire-

set up a Homeline network with a computer connected to
the network.
Plugging in the Extender
To use the Extender properly, it should be plugged into an electrical outlet already
part of a Homeline network, with other devices (computers, printer servers, etc.)
connected to the network. The Power light will glow steadily green when the
Extender detects a HomeLine network.
Installing the Configuration Utility

the Homeline network.
2. Navigate to the CD ’s directory and double-click on the file named “utility.exe.”
3. The Utility is loaded on the computer’s hard drive.
The Extender’s Configuration Utility is now installed on the computer. See
