1.1 Introduction

One of the major drawbacks in setting up home network is
the absence of required wiring inside the house to
interconnect networked computers. In recent years several
technologies have attempted to address the issue. The
most prominent technology so far is the family of WIFI
(802.11 X) products. Recently, however, another technology
called HomePlug has come forth. It uses electrical grids,
already available inside walls to transmit data from
computer to computer. HomePlug technology modulates
computer data in a way to enable them use power grid as a
medium of transmission from point to point. Using this
technology, two computers have a virtual Ethernet
connection without the need to be physically connected to
each other at the speed of up to 85Mbps.
The PowerLine Ethernet Adapterhas 3 indicator lights
(LEDs) and an Ethernet port. The LEDs depict the
connection status, as well as other information, enabling
detailed diagnosis of system malfunction. The Ethernet port
is to connect to a device in the home network. The
PowerLine Ethernet Adapter has a standard power plug for
connection to a power outlet.
Computer networking in the office or at home has the
following advantages:
•
Share centrally stored data
•
Share one printer
•
Multi-access to one Internet connection
