Powerline Adapter Setup

If you do not have Powerline adapters at home, do the following:

1. Plug the XAV1601 adapter into an AC wall outlet near your Wi-Fi

router/gateway.

2. Plug the XAU2511 adapter into the AC wall outlet where you

want to hear the music or put the printer.

3. Make sure the Powerline LEDs on each adapter are lit.

The lit LEDs indicate that the adapters are associated and

connected to the network.

4. Optional. If you want to change the default security key on your

Powerline network, see Advanced Setup on page 23.

If you have Powerline adapters at home, do the following:

Make sure the new XAU2511 and XAV1601 adapters and your

existing adapters are on the same security key so they can work

together:

1. Plug the XAU2511 into a power outlet.

2. When the Power LED lights, press the Security button for 2

seconds until the Power LED starts to blink.

3. On one of your existing Powerline adapters, press the Security

button for 2 seconds until the Power LED starts to blink.

When the Power LED stops blinking, the two devices are

connected and paired on the same network key.

4. Do the same pairing operations with the XAV1601.

Troubleshooting

If the Powerline LED is not green, plug the Powerline adapter into the

wall power outlet. If there is a power strip, plug the power strip into the

Powerline adapter socket.



After you finish plugging in the adapter and if the Powerline LED is off

or red, place the Powerline adapter into another AC wall outlet.

Note: See LED Descriptions on page 24 for a description of the LEDs
