Note: The ENCRYPT button’s location varies for each Powerline device.

5Repeat step 4 in this section for any other Powerline device you wish to connect. This must be done within 60 seconds of pressing the ENCRYPT button on the PLA-407.

6Check the lights on the Powerline devices. The power () and HomePlug () lights should be blinking while the devices are connecting. Several times all lights

blink simultaneously and the HomePlug () light also shows red. Wait for about one minute while your Powerline devices connect.

If the power ( ) light does not blink when you press ENCRYPT, you have probably pressed the ENCRYPT button for too long. Try again, pressing the ENCRYPT button for 1~ 2 seconds.

If the HomePlug ( ) lights on both Powerline devices do not light up, the Powerline devices are not connected. Repeat steps 4 and 5 in this section. If that doesn’t work, see the Troubleshooting in Section 9.5 on page 82 for suggestions.
