Buttons
The Pluglink AV 9660 device has two hardware push buttons:
• FW RST button - Resets the PlugLinkAV 9660 back to factory default
settings. Press and hold the button with a pin or other sharp object for
about 2 seconds until you see the lights on the device flash briefly.
• NID button - Allows you to set a randomized Network Encryption Key
(NEK) by pressing on it. You can then have additional units use the same
randomized NEK by using their respective NID buttons.
Following is an example of how the button can be used:
1. Select a PlugLink AV 9660 (#1) device in your network. Press and hold the
NID button for 10 seconds. After about 10 seconds, the lights on your
device will blink off briefly and come back on immediately. This will
change the existing Network Encryption Key (NEK) to a randomized NEK.
2. On the PlugLinkAV 9660 (#1) device from Step #1, press and hold the NID
button for about 3 seconds. The power light on the device will begin
flashing. This unit has now been set to allow other units to join the
network and be assigned the same password. This unit will remain in
“adder” mode for about 3 minutes.
3. Before the three minutes have elapsed from Step #2, select another
PlugLink AV 9660 (#2) device from your network. Press and hold the NID
button for about 3 seconds. The power light on the device will blink as
well. The #1 and #2 devices will communicating and the #2 device will
have it's NEK set to the NEK of the #1 device. This should happen in about
15 to 20 seconds. Once the process has been completed, you can then test
if the two devices are communicating.
4. If you add units at a later time, you only need to perform Step #2 (using
any device in the network) and Step #3 (any new devices). Step #1 is not
necessary unless you wish to change your NEK.
