Hercules ePlug 85
2/44 User Manual
1. YOUR HERCULES EPLUG 85 ADAPTER
PLC (Power Line Communication), also known as HomePlug, is a technology which uses your home's
existing electrical wiring to efficiently transfer digital data (audio, video, Internet, other types of files) within a
secure personal network. HomePlug is an ideal alternative for those who wish to easily create a network,
without the constraints of cables, and are unable to enjoy all of the potential of WiFi due to the configuration of
their home (as a result of the presence of thick walls or other obstacles which impede wireless data
transmission).
Hercules ePlug 85 is an adapter employing HomePlug technology which can be connected to any electrical
outlet in your home (from the ground floor to upstairs), thereby transforming your outlets into as many possible
network connection points. Moreover, you can freely unplug Hercules ePlug 85 adapters and plug them into
different outlets in your home, according to your needs (changing the location of a computer, or of your
modem router...), without having to repeat the installation or re-create your network.
As a network is composed of at least two devices connected to one another, all you need to do is connect two
Hercules ePlug 85 adapters to two electrical outlets in your home (in the same room or in different rooms).
For example, to access the Internet, you can connect your modem or your Internet box to a Hercules ePlug
adapter plugged into the nearest electrical outlet, and connect your computer to another Hercules ePlug
adapter plugged into another electrical outlet. Finally, your network is already preconfigured to provide you
with maximum security.
All products in the Hercules ePlug 85 range are compatible with the HomePlug 1.0 standard (including devices
functioning at 85 Mbits/s, but also those at 14 Mbits/s) and may be combined according to your needs or
according to your devices (a modem with a computer or a game console, two computers, a computer and a
printer...). You will find some possible configurations set out in the installation section of this manual.
Please note, however, that this standard is not compatible with the Homeplug AV standard corresponding to
the Hercules ePlug 200 range (and other adapters conforming to this standard). Nevertheless, you are
perfectly able to create a network composed of Hercules ePlug 85 adapters in your home coexisting alongside
another network composed of Hercules ePlug 200 adapters.
Even though this type of device presents no danger in terms of your home's electrical wiring, you should take
care to respect certain recommendations, set out below.
1.1. Recommendations
- Only connect the Hercules ePlug 85 adapter to an electrical network which conforms to the security
standards and specifications detailed on the device's electrical rating plate. If you are not sure about your
electrical network, contact an electrician or your power supplier.
- Never open up the Hercules ePlug 85 adapter, as doing so risks damaging its internal components.
- Do not attempt to insert any objects into the vents and openings of the Hercules ePlug 85 adapter.
- Do not obstruct the vents and openings of the Hercules ePlug 85 adapter.
- If you need to carry out any maintenance on your Hercules ePlug 85 adapter, be sure to first unplug the
adapter and entrust the job to a qualified professional in order to avoid the risk of electrocution.
- In order to avoid the risk of fire or electrical discharge, keep your adapter away from:
- rain or humidity, as well as all fluids (water, chemical products and any other liquids),
- sources of heat such as heaters, stoves and any other heat-producing devices (including amplifiers),
- direct sunlight.
- Only plug in the Hercules ePlug 85 adapter in a sufficiently ventilated room.
- Only connect the Hercules ePlug 85 adapter using the included Ethernet cable.
