Installing Your Powerline XAV1601 Nano
Prepare for Installation:
1. Before you begin, verify the following:
• Your Ethernet network is set up.
• An Ethernet port is available on your router.
• Your Internet connection is working.
• An Ethernet port is available on each computer that will use a Powerline XAV1601
Nano and is configured to work on your network. Usually, the default configuration
settings (TCP/IP and DHCP) are fine.
2. Familiarize yourself with the Powerline XAV1601 Nano.
The front panel has three lights: Power, Powerline, and Ethernet. The side panel has a
Security button, and a Reset button. The Ethernet port is located on the bottom of the
adapter. See Figure 2 on page 5.
3. 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 XAV1601 Nano 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 XAV1601 Nano 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.
