to join its PLC network to form private network group. Any other devices, device B, which

want to join this device’s (device A) PLC network group need to follow steps below: (NOTE:

it is more convenient to bring devices, which are to be configured into same logical network

group, side by side during this procedure. After network group is set, the devices can be

deployed anywhere at home)

Step 1. (Clear group attribute) Firstly clear the original network group of device B by

pressing its GROUP button more than 10 seconds until all LED lights

simultaneously turns off and on once. At this moment, its network group name

has been changed to a random name and ready to be assigned another

network name. At this moment, this device also can be used as a seed device

so other PLC devices can join it to form a private network group.

Step 2. (Join) Press GROUP Button of device A and device B for 2 to 3 sec (make sure

POWER LED starts blinking). The device (device B) which has cleared its

group attribute will join to the device (device A) which hasn’t. It doesn’t matter

which device’s button is pushed earlier than the other, but please push the

second device’s Group button within two minutes after pushing first device’s

Group button.

This way, Powerline device B joins same encrypted network as device A. Users can join

device C to device A’s logical network with same procedure, thus make device A, B, and C

all in the same encrypted network group.

Remove a device from a network Group

For example, device A and device B are in the same logical network group, if uses want to

remove device A from this logical network group, just follow the procedure in Step 1 by

pressing GROUP button of device A for 10 seconds. This makes device A not able to

communicate with device B.

Make two public network devices private

If users want to make two new public devices (network name HomePlugAV) become

private, please carry out Step 1 on both devices, then do step 2 on these two devices.

Finally, a private random network name is generated for these two devices.
