Using the Security/Power Button

The Security/Power button serves a dual function:

•Set the Power Mode: The Powerline Adapter’s normal state is POWER ON. When you first plug it into an electrical outlet, it will be in POWER ON mode. To go to POWER OFF (power saving mode), push and hold the button for 5 – 10 seconds. Pressing the button again returns it to POWER ON. You can also unplug and plug in the adapter to restore it to POWER ON.

•Set Security: Press and hold the button for 2 – 4 seconds. If you are setting up two XAV101v2 devices, push the button on each device for 2 – 4 seconds within 2 minutes. The two devices will connect automatically and the Power LED will start blinking.

Warning: Do not press the Security button on the Powerline adapter(s) until installation is complete and the adapters are communicating with each other (indicated by the blinking Powerline LED). Pressing this button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline communication. If this should occur, use the Factory Reset button to return the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings.

To set security on your Powerline adapters, see the XAV101v2 Powerline AV 200 Adapter Kit User Manual, available at http://www.NETGEAR.com.
