2.
On any of the Powerline adapters in your current Powerline network, press the Powerline AV
Ethernet Adapter Security button for 2 seconds. (See example in figure #1 above.)
The Power LED starts blinking after you release the button.
The adapter automatically creates a new, randomly generated network encryption key that each
Powerline adapter on the network will use.
Note: Do not press the security button on both Powerline adapters while adding a new
Powerline device. Make sure that the Powerline adapter is not on power saving mode, the
security button is not working on this mode.
At this point, the other adapters in your network cannot communicate with each other.
3.
Within 2 minutes of pressing the Security button on the existing Powerline adapter, you want to
press the Security button on the second adapter (the one you want to add) for 2 seconds.
In order to pair the devices, you need to press both buttons within 2 minutes.
This securely configures your Powerline network with the same network encryption key.
4.
If you want to add additional Powerline adapters, press the Security button on the next adapter
for 2 seconds, and then press the Security button on any additional adapters in your network for
2 seconds. The adapters retain security settings even if they are unplugged.
Note:
Make sure that you connect the new Powerline adapters directly to power outlets
and not on power surge protectors or power strips.
