TP-LINK TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

Plug the adapters into the same power strip and follow Appendix:

Using the Pair Button to pair them . If they still don’t work, please

check for possible interference causes:

To set up a private network :

Press the pair button on adapter A for 1 second and the Power

LED will begin ashing. If pressed till all the LEDs turn o (at

least 7 seconds ), the adapter will leave the network.

Within 2 minutes, press the pair button on adapter B for 1

second and the Power LED will begin ashing as well.

In about 60 seconds you’ll see the Powerline LEDs on both

adapters light up, indicating the two adapters have

intercommunicated with each other successfully.

* It is highly recommended to rst set up the two adapters in the same

room or on the same power strip and then place them in a suitable

location.

To join an existing private network:

If you want to add adapter C to the existing private network, please

follow the steps.

Press the pair button on the adapter A or B for 1 second (do not

press both), and the Power LED will begin ashing.

Within 2 minutes press the pair button on adapter C for 1 second,

the Powerline LED on the adapter C will light up in about 60

seconds.

* You can follow the steps above to add more adapters to the private

network one by one.

1. Air-conditioners, washing machines, and other similar household

appliances are working too close to the adapters.

Air switch may lead to failed communication among PLC devices;

check whether there are air switches hindering communication.

Make sure all the adapters are under the same electric meter.

If the Power LED does not light up at all, there may be a hardware

problem.

The PLC devices might not communicate with each other if they are

in dierent phases of a four-wire three-phase circuit.

As some power strips have surge protector, please make sure the

adapters are not separated by the power strips.

NOTE:

More advanced conguration, such as reset, rmware upgrade and QoS conguration can be accessed through the utility, so install the Powerline

Utility if necessary. (Only for Windows)
