—
Power: The power LED turns on. If it does not light, see Chapter 2,
“Troubleshooting”.
—
Power Link: The Power Link LED blinks to indicate that the device is connected
to the power line, and that no other Powerline devices have been detected at this
stage.
—
Ethernet Link: The Ethernet LED blinks to indicate activity. If not, make sure
that the Ethernet cable on the Powerline adapter that you connected in the
previous step is securely attached to the Powerline adapter and the router, that the
router is connected to the modem, and the router and modem are powered on.
d.
Make sure that the Internet port of your router is connected to your MODEM and that
your computer is either connected to a LAN port on the router or to a port on the
Powerline adapter.
Connect other Ethernet Powerline Adapters
1.
The default password to configure adapter is “paterna”(with small characters) . You will need
this password later if you want to change the Powerline network password. If you are adding
more than one other Powerline adapter, also note the MAC address given on the label, so that
you will know which device the password is for.
2.
Plug your other Powerline devices into free power outlet in your home near to the other
computers and peripherals to be included in your Powerline local area network.
3.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on each of the computers and peripherals to
the nearest Powerline device.
4.
When you plug in a second Powerline adapter into a power outlet, check the Powerline Link
LED. It should turn on and then briefly blink at the same time as the Ethernet Link activity
LED.
This completes the Powerline installation.
Install the 200Mpb Powerline HomePlug Ethernet Adapter
Encryption Utility (Highly Recommended)
The utility gives you the option of setting a unique encryption Powerline network password.
Important features:
z
The encryption password is case-sensitive.
z
Each device must be set to exactly the same encryption password—if they are to
communicate on the same network. Powerline devices on different networks will not be
able to communicate.
z
A default button resets the encryption password to the default password.
z
The encryption password can protect your network from unauthorized access through the
Powerline network.
z
The default password to configure adapter is “paterna”. You will be required to enter it if
you are setting the network password with another Powerline HomePlug Ethernet
Adapter device.
