LEDs

The LEDS indicate the status of your Powerline adapters.

• When you plug in the adapter, the Power LED lights up and

turns green.

• The adapter is not active when no Ethernet link has occurred for

more than 10 minutes. The adapter enters power saving mode,

and the Power LED turns amber.

• The Ethernet LED lights up when you connect a powered-on

Ethernet device to at least one Ethernet port.

• The Powerline LED turns on when the adapter detects at least

one other compatible Powerline device.

The Pick A Plug diagnostic feature lets you pick the electrical

outlet with the strongest throughput, indicated by the color

displayed by the Powerline LED:

- Green: Link rate > 80 Mbps (Best)

- Amber: Link rate > 50 and < 80 Mbps (Better)

- Red: Link rate < 50 Mbps (Good)

Install Your Powerline Adapters

You can plug a

power strip into

the filtered outlet,

but do not plug

your Powerline

adapter into a

power strip.

The filtered AC

socket removes

some electrical

noise. Plugging

a nearby device

into the filtered

AC socket

improves

performance.

Secure Your Powerline Network

A Powerline network forms when at least two compatible Powerline

devices communicate. After the Powerline network is up and running,

you can use the Security buttons on the adapters to add encryption to

your Powerline network.

CAUTION: Do not press the Security button until each adapter has

powered up and its Power LED is solid green. Pressing this

button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline

communication. If this occurs, use the Factory Reset button

to return the Powerline adapter to its factory settings.

To secure your Powerline network:

1. Make sure the Power LED is solid green. If it is amber, connect

a device to one of the Ethernet ports so the adapter exits power

saving mode.

2. On the first Powerline adapter, press its Security button for 2

seconds. The Power LED blinks green while you are setting up

security.

3. Within 2 minutes, go to the next Powerline adapter and press its

Security button for 2 seconds.

After security is set, the Power LED turns solid green. The

adapters can communicate over the network. The Powerline

LEDs are blinking or solid.
