5Repeat step 4 in this section for the other powerline device you wish to connect. This must be done within 120 seconds of pressing the ENCRYPT button on the PLA-4xx.

6 Check the lights on the two 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 7.5 on page 74 for suggestions.

7To add more powerline devices to your network, press the ENCRYPT button on device C (shown below) for more than 10 seconds until the power () light flashes.

8Then repeat steps 4 and 5 in this section using any powerline device (A or B) you have connected using ENCRYPT and the powerline device you want to connect (C). You must use the ENCRYPT button on both devices.
