Overlapping powerline networks

It is possible to create mulple powerline networks on the same
electrical system separated and grouped by dierent network
network names. The powerline networks will work and communicate
independently of each other which can provide security between
dierent groups of Powerline Adapters. For example, if you have
ve Powerline Adapters (Adapter A, Adapter B, Adapter C, Adapter
D, Adapter E), you can group Adapters A,B, and C together on one
powerline network and group Adapters D and E on a dierent
powerline network. Each group will use a dierent network name.
Note: It is recommended that only a maximum of up to 4 powerline networks can
be created per electrical system. Any addional powerline networks above the
recommended may result in signicant degradaon in powerline performance.

Move Powerline Adapters between dierent overlapping

powerline networks

Note: Assuming all Powerline Adapters are TRENDnet Powerline Adapters and for
reference in the diagram and this procedure, the adapters will be labeled Adapter
A,B,C,D, and E. AdaptersA,B, and C are currently connect together to form one
powerline network and AdaptersD and E form another powerline network. Adapter B
will be disconnected from Adapters A and C and connected to Adapters D and E.
1. Push and hold the Sync buon on Adapter B for 15 seconds and
release it. All LEDs will turn o and turn back on. This will erase the
current network name assigned to Adapter B and disconnect from
Adapter A and Adapter C
2. Push and hold the Sync buon on Adapter D for 2 seconds and
release it. The Power (PWR) LED will start blinking.
