Add Adapters

To add adapters before you configure the security feature, just plug them 
in and connect the adapters to your equipment.

 

¾

To add an adapter to a PowerLINE network with security 

set:

1.  Plug the adapter into a wall outlet where you want to add Internet 

access.

2.  If you used a private encryption key, press the 

Security

 button on 

one of the adapters that is already a part of the network for two 

seconds, and then press the 

Security

 button on the new adapter for 

two seconds.
Both buttons must be pressed within two minutes.

Note: 

The 

Security

 button does not work in power saving mode.

Do not press the 

Security

 button on the PowerLINE adapter until 

installation is complete and the adapters are communicating with each 
other (indicated by the blinking Power LED). Pressing this button too soon 
can temporarily disable PowerLINE communication. If this occurs, use the 

Factory Reset

 button to return the PowerLINE adapter to its factory 

default settings.
