Quick Start (Setup Powerline Network)
Push Button usage
Sync Button is used to add a HomePlug device to a Powerline network or enable it to join a network by pressing the Sync Button of the device to turn it into Broadcast state or Join state. There are 3 types of Sync Button trigger states:
1.Broadcast State: Enable BiPAC HomePlug AV device to provide information for another
BiPAC HomePlug AV device to join its powerline network group (works even if it is the only device existing within the network group).
2.Join State: This allows an ungrouped BiPAC HomePlug AV device to join an existing powerline network group.
3.Ungroup State: Press the Sync Button for more than 10 seconds to detach the device from its network group.
Application Scenarios
Scenario 1: A BiPAC HomePlug AV device A wants to form a network group with another BiPAC HomePlug AV device B
You can assign whichever device (A or B) to be in the Broadcast State and the other in the Join State.
Example:
1.Press the Sync Button of device A for 1~3 seconds to turn it into Broadcast State, you should find the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Broadcast state.
2.Press the Sync Button of device B for 1~3 seconds to turn it into Join State, you should find the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Join state.
3.Wait for both devices to boot again (all LEDs will turn off and on) and when the PLC LEDs of both devices lit steadily, you will now have these devices being in the same network group.
Scenario 2: A BiPAC HomePlug AV device wants to join an existing network group BC
Device A wants to join a network group “BC” currently consisting of device B and device C. Any devices within the “BC” group can become the “Broadcast State” and device A will be the “Join State”.
Example:
1.Press the Sync Button of device A for more than 10 seconds to make sure that it is detached completely from any possible network group.
2.Press the Sync Button of device B or C of the BC network group for 1~3 seconds to turn it into
Broadcast State, you should find the Power LED blinks steadily signifying it is in Broadcast state.
