6 How to Use the Security Pushbutton
This section describes how to add new devices to, or remove old devices from a
HomePlug AV logical network (AVLN). Both can be accomplished by using a
Security
(NMK) pushbutton.
Operation progress and outcome can be monitored by observing the behavior of the
power LED.
6.1 Forming a HomePlug AV logical network
When two devices with different NMK values are connected to the same powerline,
user wants them to form a logical network. Do as follows:
Step1
Press the NMK button on the first device A for less than 3 seconds.
Step2
Press the NMK button on the second device B for less than 3 seconds. The
button on B must be pressed within 1 minute
Step3
Wait for connection to complete.
The power LED on both devices will flash evenly at 1-second intervals until the
operation succeeds or fails. It will illuminate steadily on successful completion. If an
error occurs, the power LED on the ‘adder’ will flash unevenly until the pushbutton on
the ‘adder’ is pressed again or the ‘joiner’ is reset by holding the pushbuttons down
for more than 10 seconds.
