Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble setting up your connections, make

sure:

• Your outlets are working properly. Unplug the PLA-400 and

plug in another electrical appliance that you know works.

• The Ethernet Cables you are using are Category 5 or higher.

Most cables are labeled with their specifications.

• All Ethernet and power cables are securely connected.

If the LINK LED is off.

• Use the management utility (see the User’s Guide for details)

to detect all other HomePlug AV devices on your power line

network. Try plugging a second HomePlug AV device into an

adjacent socket (to your PLA-400) and see if the LINK LED

lights up.
