1 HomePlug Powerline HomePlug power line is an excellent solution that can be used to extend your network. In the home or small office building, use HomePlug Ethernet Bridges to link multiple locations without the need to run long Ethernet cables. Combined with a broadband DSL/Cable connection, every room with electrical power outlets will have easy access to high-speed Internet connection.
1.3 Casing Details Front Casing The front casing contains 3 status lights: Power, PLC Link, and Ethernet Link.
Bottom Casing The bottom casing contains a recessed Reset Button, a Security Button, and an Ethernet Port. (INSERT FINAL CASING DESIGN) Ethernet Port Security Button Reset Button Buttons Security This button is designed to generate an individual HomePlug AV network group under multiple nodes environment. Please refer to the optional Individual HomePlug AV Network Setup section below for more details. Reset This button is used to clear ALL data and restore ALL settings to the factory default values.
2 Individual HomePlug AV Network Setup (Optional) All HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridges ship with a default security key so they will automatically link to all other HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridges sharing the same electrical lines. If there are other HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridges in the building (such as in an office or apartment building), you may want to create your own individual HomePlug AV network group so other HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridges cannot connect to your network.
2.2 Adding Bridge C to existing Network AB (Network ABC) One unassociated Bridge C is added to an existing Network AB. The procedure is as follows: 1. Press and hold the Security button on Bridge C for 10 seconds. Release it when the Power light flashes. The password to Bridge C has just been erased. It must now be linked to your network to adopt the new network security key. 2. Press and hold the security button on Bridge A for 2 seconds. The Power light on Bridge A starts to flash. 3.
2.3 Removing Bridge B from Bridge A & C Network and join with Bridge D & E (Network BDE) The procedure is as follows: 1. Press and hold the Security button on Bridge B for 10 seconds. Release it when the Power light flashes. The password to Bridge B has just been erased and removes itself from Bridge A & C. 2. Press and hold the Security button on Bridge D for 2 seconds. 3.
3 Troubleshooting If your HomePlug AV 500Mbps Ethernet Bridges have difficulty communicating with each other, check the following: Try power cycling the unit by unplugging it from the wall for 10 seconds and plugging it in again. Use a pin and hold the Reset button down for 2 seconds on each unit you are trying to connect. The HomePlug AV 500Mbps Ethernet Bridge’s light will flash, the units will reset and attempt to link using default factory settings.
