Chapter 2: Product Installation At factory default settings, a pair of TPL-307E 200Mbps Powerline AV adapters with Bonus Outlet (or TPL-307E2K) can be installed into any room in your home or small office with a wall power outlet, without the need for additional software or configuration.
2.1 Initial Installation The procedure describes how to create a basic powerline network between a pair of TPL-307E powerline adapters and share Internet connection through a router to a computer or network appliance in another room. Assuming your router is already installed and configured for Internet connectivity and the TPL-307E powerline adapters are at factory default settings. 1. Plug one of the TPL-307E powerline adapters into an available wall power outlet in the room where your router is located.
2.2 Securing your Powerline Network The TPL-307E 200Mbps Powerline AV Adapter with Bonus Outlet has a default network name/security key assignment of “HomePlugAV”. When connecting a pair of TPL-307E powerline adapters, both powerline adapters will be assigned the default network/security key which allows the TPL-307E powerline adapters to establish connectivity through your home or small office’s electrical system without the need for additional software or configuration.
2.3 Changing the Network Name/Security Key using the Sync Button The procedure describes how to create a change the network name/security key between a pair of TPL-307E powerline adapters. This procedure can also be used to establish connectivity between two powerline adapters that are currently disconnected and change the default network name/security key simultaneously.
2.4 Adding the Powerline Adapter to an Existing Powerline Network The procedure describes how to add the TPL-307E 200Mbps Powerline AV Adapter with Bonus Outlet to an existing powerline network. Assuming the two TPL-307E powerline adapters are currently connected to each other and the third TPL-307E (Additional) powerline adapter is currently disconnected. 1. Push and hold the Sync button on the additional TPL-307E powerline adapter for 10 seconds and release it. All LEDs will turn off and turn back on.
Chapter 3: Overlapping Powerline Networks It is possible to create multiple powerline networks on the same electrical system separated and grouped by different network names/security keys. The powerline networks will work and communicate independently of each other which can provide security between different groups of powerline adapters.
3.1 Move Powerline Adapters between different Powerline Networks Use the procedures in Chapter 2: Product Installation, to connect one group of adapters, then you can carry out the procedures on another group of adapters to create multiple overlapping powerline networks. This procedure describes how to disconnect a powerline adapter from one powerline network and connect the adapter to a different powerline network.
Chapter 4: Powerline Configuration Utility The Powerline Configuration Utility is an additional tool that allows you to centrally manage the powerline adapters that are connected to your network. Instead of using a randomly generated key with the Sync button, the utility allows you to manually configure the network name/security key for a single powerline adapter or multiple adapters simultaneously. This tool allows for easy management for multiple powerline adapters in your network. Note: 1.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Please reference the items below if you continue to experience difficulty with installing and using your TPL-307E 200Mbps Powerline AV Adapter. Try power cycling the unit by unplugging it from the wall power outlet for 15 seconds and plugging it back in. If the PL LED is red indicating good quality only, try plugging the TPL-307E into another available wall power outlet to check if you can obtain better connection quality.
