5. Connect one end of the included Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port
on your Powerline adapter and then connect the other end to the
Ethernet port on your computers or another network enabled
device.
6. After the additional Powerline adapter is connected and installed to
your computer or network device, wait for the Power LED to turn
on. After the Power LED turns on, verify that the Powerline LED is
on or blinking, and the Ethernet LED is on or blinking.
Create Multiple Powerline Networks
It is possible to create multiple Powerline networks on the same electric
system separated and grouped by different network names. The
Powerline networks will work and communicate independently of each
other which can provide security between different groups of Powerline
adapters. For example, if you have five Powerline adapters (adapter A
through E), you can group adapters A, B, and C together on one
Powerline network and group adapters D and E on a different Powerline
network. Each group will use a different network name.
Scramble the Powerline network name by pressing Sync button for 15
seconds and then add more Powerline adapter in the same group with
steps described above.
Note: It is recommended that only a maximum of up to 4 Powerline networks can
be created per electrical system. Any additional Powerline networks above the
recommended may result in significant degradation in Powerline performance.
