TRENDnet TPL307E2K manual Move Powerline Adapters between different Powerline Networks

3.1 Move Powerline Adapters between different Powerline Networks

Use the procedures in Chapter 2: Product Installation, to connect one group of adapters, then you can carry out the procedures on another group of adapters to create multiple overlapping powerline networks. This procedure describes how to disconnect a powerline adapter from one powerline network and connect the adapter to a different powerline network.

Assuming all powerline adapters are TPL-307E 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 button on Adapter B for 10 seconds and release it. All LEDs will turn off and turn back on. This will erase the current network name/security key assigned to Adapter B and disconnect from Adapters A and C.

2.Push and hold the Sync button on Adapter D for 2 seconds and release it. The PWR LED will start blinking.

3.Within 2 minutes (120 sec), push and hold the Sync button on Adapter B for 2 seconds and release it. The PWR LED will start blinking. This will establish connectivity between Adapters B, D, and E by assigning Adapter B’s network name/security key to match the network name/security key of Adapters D and E.

4.To verify connectivity between the powerline adapters, make sure that the PL LED on each powerline adapter is on solid (Green, Amber, Red). Please refer to the LED section 1.5 for details on the LED indicator.
