ENCRYPT Connection Procedure
Note: The
RESET/ ENC RYPT
button’s location varies for each Powerline model.
Note: Check the lights on the two powerline devices. The power (
) and HomePlug (
)
lights should be on while the devices are connecting. Wait for about two minutes while
your powerline devices connect.
If the power (
) light does not blink when you press
RESET/ ENC RYPT
, you have probably pressed
the
RESET/ ENC RYPT
button for too long. Try again, pressing the
RESET/ ENC RYPT
button for 0.5 to 3
seconds.
If the HomePlug (
) lights on both powerline devices do not light up, the powerline devices
are not connected. Repeat step 1 in this section. If that doesn’t work, see the Troubleshooting in
Section 12.3 on page 65 for suggestions.
