Use the PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility to detect all other HomePlug
devices on your powerline coaxial network. Make sure that the network name
(sometimes called the network password) is the same on all of your coaxial
adapters. See
Section 5.3 on page 37 for instructions on checking the network
name.
3
Check the DAK password and MAC address for all coaxial adapters are typed
correctly in the utility. See
Section 5.3 on page 37 for instructions on checking the
DAK and MAC address.
4
Make sure that all your coaxial adapters are HomePlug AV compliant. Check the
package it came in or ask your vendor. This PLA-402 v3 can not detect earlier
versions of HomePlug coaxial adapters such as HomePlug 1.0 or 1.0.1. (Although
they can coexist on the same electrical wiring without interfering with each other.)
5
Make sure that the coaxial adapters on your network are all on the same electrical
wiring. Connect another coaxial adapter into an outlet close to your PLA-402 v3’s
power outlet. They are probably now on the same electrical wiring. Check the
HomePlug
light. If it now lights up your coaxial adapter was probably
previously on separate electrical wiring. Ask an electrician for more information on
the electrical wiring in your building.
6
If your powerline coaxial network is using coaxial cable, check all coaxial adapters
are on the same coaxial cable.
7
If your powerline coaxial network is using electrical wiring (not coaxial cable),
check you do not have a power meter between coaxial adapters. Powerline signals
cannot pass this.
The POWER and HomePlug light blink at the same time.
• You have pressed the SETUP button for more than three seconds. Try setting up
a connection again, this time pressing the SETUP buttons on both devices for
less than three seconds.
