2.3 Low Power Mode
Your PLA-401 Series is a certified green product. It goes into Low Power mode
when there is no Ethernet connection.
When you plug the PLA-401 Series into an electric socket, it waits for an Ethernet
connection. When no connection is detected after sixty (60) seconds, the Power
LED blinks indicating that it is going into Low Power mode.
The same process occurs when you disconnect the PLA-401 Series from a
previously working Ethernet connection. Sixty (60) seconds after disconnecting
the Ethernet cable, the PLA-401 Series’s Power LED blinks signalling that it is
going into Low Power mode.
The Ethernet and HomePlug LEDs are turned off in Low Power mode.
While in Low Power mode, you cannot use the ENCRYPT button. To enable the
ENCRYPT button again, you have to connect the PLA-401 Series’s Ethernet cable
to a computer/notebook or modem/router first. The PLA-401 Series wakes up
from Low Power mode and you can start using the ENCRYPT button.
Low Power mode is enabled by default.
