Installing Your Powerline XAV5004 Adapter
Prepare for Installation:
1. Familiarize yourself with the Powerline XAV5004 Adapter.
The front panel has three LEDs: Ethernet, Powerline, and Power. The back panel has
four Ethernet ports, a Security button, and a Factory Reset button. See Figure 2 on
page 5.
2. Plan the location of your Powerline devices:
• Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall
switch to avoid someone
unknowingly turning off the
power to the outlet.
• Do not connect the Powerline XAV5004 Adapter to a
power strip, extension cord, or surge protector as this
might prevent it from working correctly, or reduce the
network performance.
• Avoid using the Powerline XAV5004 Adapter in an
electrical outlet that is located near an appliance that
uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer, or a
refrigerator. This could potentially prevent the adapter
from working correctly, or reduce network
performance.
