    Figure 1-2

  3. Plug the XEPS103 Powerline Extender into an electrical outlet. Take care that the electrical outlet is not controlled by a wall switch so as to avoid someone does not unknowingly turn off power to your adapter. Check that the XEPS103 power light comes on.
    Do not connect the Powerline extender to a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector as this may prevent it from working properly or degrade the network performance.
    Do not tie or twist the XEPS103 power cord with the dual output cable, or any other Ethernet cable, as this may degrade the network performance.
     
  4. Wait for the router to indicate that the LAN port that is connnected to the XEPS103 Powerline Extender is linked and active. On the XEPS103, check that the Ethernet and Powerline status LEDs are on and blinking. Refer to Table 1-1. for a detailed explanation of the LED behavior.
