Chapter 2 Use the Powerline Adapter
2.3 Secure Powerline Network by Pairing
All powerline adapters share some common factory settings, and can communicate
with one another. If you want your powerline adapters to communicate only with
your own powerline adapters, you should pair them. Thus a secured powerline
network is formed and other powerline adapters can no longer join your powerline
network without being paired.
Note:
You can only pair two devices at a time.
If you have extended the network using the Plug & Play method, but you want to
secure the powerline network and prevent other powerline devices from being
added to it, please follow the steps below.
1.
Verify all powerline devices’ LEDs are solid on.
Tips:
We recommend that you plug in your powerline devices near each other, or as close to each other as
possible when pairing. Your settings will not be affected. The devices can be relocated to where they are
needed once pairing is complete.
2.
Press the Pair button for 1 second on one adapter. Its LED starts blinking
quickly.
3.
Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button for 1 second on another adapter. Its
LED starts blinking quickly as well. When the LED turns solid green, the pairing
process is complete.
Done!
Enjoy your secure powerline network!
