ORDERING INFORMATION
This PLC Device user manual describes Powerline to Ethernet Bridge and Powerline to
Ethernet Switch devices.
The Powerline to Ethernet Bridge device converts the Ethernet packets from its Ethernet
port to the Powerline Communication packets (PLC packets), which then run on home
electrical power lines, and converts the PLC packets back to Ethernet packets.
The Powerline Ethernet Switch device is a four-port Ethernet Switch device bridged
together with the Powerline interface. It converts the Ethernet packets from any of its
Ethernet port to PLC packets, and from PLC packets back to Ethernet packets. Also,
Ethernet packets between any two of the four Ethernet ports is communicable, just like a
normal Ethernet switch.
See the following table for a summary.
