within 2 minutes

Note: The RESET/ENCRYPT button’s location varies for each Powerline model.

Note: Check the lights on the two powerline devices. The power ( ) and HomePlug ( ) lights should be on while the devices are connecting. Wait for about two minutes while your powerline devices connect.

If the power ( ) light does not blink when you press RESET/ENCRYPT, you have probably pressed the RESET/ENCRYPT button for too long. Try again, pressing the RESET/ ENCRYPT button for 0.5 to 3 seconds.

If the HomePlug ( ) lights on both powerline devices do not light up, the powerline devices are not connected. Repeat step 1 in this section. If that doesn’t work, see the Troubleshooting in Section 6.4 on page 47 for suggestions.

2To add more powerline devices to your network, use any powerline device (A or B) you have connected to set up a connection with the powerline devices you want to connect (C and D).

3Press the RESET/ENCRYPT button on both powerline devices (A and C, or B and C) for 0.5 to 3 seconds to add powerline device C. This must be done within 2 minutes (120 seconds) of pressing the RESET/ENCRYPT button on the PLA.
