Easy setup - No PC required
There's no tricky installation or complicated settings. Just take the BL-PA100KT out of the box and plug it into the power outlet. Set up the other equipment on the network, such as routers and PCs, as described in their respective instructions. Adding more HD-PLC adaptors*1 is easy too, using the following quick 3-step procedure.
* One HD-PLC adaptor can be set as the master unit, and individual terminal units can be registered. One of the BL-PA100KT units is set as a master unit and the other is set as a terminal unit when they are shipped from the factory.
Fast, reliable, and secure
With speeds of up to 190 Mbps*2, advanced error correction, and AES 128-bit encryption, the BL-PA100 provides peace of mind at the speed of light.
* Connecting this product to a power strip which has a noise filter or surge protector may interfere with the performance of this product. For best results, please connect this product directly to a wall outlet.
** Certain electrical devices such as hair dryers or vacuum cleaners emit electrical noise, and may interfere with the performance of this product. *** This product may interfere with short wave radios, lights or lamps which have a dimmer switch or a touch-sensitive on/off feature, or other PLC adaptors which do not use the HD-PLC standard.

Step. 1
