TRENDnet TPL310AP manual Overlapping Powerline Networks

Assuming the two TPL-303E powerline adapters are currently connected to each other and the TPL- 310AP is currently disconnected.

1.Push and hold the Sync button on the TPL-310AP 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 the additional TPL-310AP.

2.Push and hold the Sync button on one of the two TPL-303E powerline adapters that are currently connected to each other 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 the TPL-310AP for 2 seconds and release it. The PWR LED will start blinking. This will establish connectivity between the three powerline adapters by assigning the TPL-310AP network name/security key to match the network name/security key of the TPL-303E powerline adapters that are currently connected.

4.To verify connectivity between the three powerline adapters, make sure that the PL LED (P-Link on TPL-303E/304E) on each powerline adapter is on solid (Green, Amber, Red, Green only – TPL- 303E/304E). Please refer to the LED section 1.4 for details on the LED indicator.

4.5Overlapping Powerline Networks

It is possible to create multiple powerline networks on the same electrical system separated and grouped by different network names/security keys. The powerline networks will work and communicate independently of each other which can provide security between different groups of powerline adapters. For example, if you have five 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 different powerline network. Each group will use a different network name/security key.

Note: It is recommended that only a maximum of up to 4 powerline networks can be created per electrical system. Any additional powerline networks above the recommended result in significant degradation in powerline performance.
