Legrand Powerline Module User Guide
This guide provides instructions for the Legrand 1-Port and 4-Port Powerline Modules, models DA2301-V1 and DA2304-V1.
Product Overview
The Legrand Powerline Modules allow you to create a network connection using your home's existing electrical wiring. This is useful for connecting devices like PCs, NAS drives, and printers to your router without running new Ethernet cables.
The modules are designed to be plugged into standard electrical outlets.
Diagram Description: The diagram shows a typical home network setup. A Cable/DSL line connects to a CBL/DSL MODEM, which then connects to a ROUTER via Cat5 cable. The router is connected to a Wireless Access Point (WAP), a Printer, a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, and a Personal Computer (PC). The DA2301-V1 (1-port) and DA2304-V1 (4-port) Powerline Modules are shown integrated into this network, extending the network connection through the electrical outlets.
Module Features and Indicators
Each module features a Power Status indicator, a Powerline Status indicator, and Ethernet Port Status indicators. It also has a RESET button and a SYNC button.

Installation Instructions
To install the powerline modules:
- Connect one powerline module to a power outlet near your router.
- Connect the module to your router using an Ethernet cable.
- Connect a second powerline module to a power outlet in the room where you want to extend your network.
- Connect your device (PC, printer, etc.) to the second powerline module using an Ethernet cable.
- The modules will automatically establish a connection. Use the SYNC button if a connection is not made automatically.
Note: For optimal performance, plug the powerline modules directly into wall outlets and avoid using surge protectors or power strips.
