3.3.1 Automatic pairing
To set up a Giga Bridge network, you need at least
two Giga Bridge adapters. Giga Bridge adapters
that are in factory default condition (i.e. have been
recently purchased or successfully reset) automat-
ically attempt to pair with each other. To do this,
the adapters must be connected both to the
mains and directly to each other by cable (net-
work cable to the G.hn phone line socket or coax
cable to the coaxial socket.)
