Resetting the Private Network Name
Simple Connect allows you to reset the Powerline Adapter’s Private Network Name to a random key. When a Powerline Adapter is reset
to a random key, it will not be able to communicate with any other device.
Note:
The Simple Connect Button has multiple functions depending on the length of time is depressed. Resetting the Private Network Password is not the same as
restoring factory default settings.
To reset the Private Network Name using Simple Connect Button:
1.
On one Powerline adapter, press and hold the Simple Connect button down for 11-13 seconds, wait for the Power LED and Ethernet
LED to turn off, and then release. The Powerline Activity LEDs of both units turn OFF.
2.
On the second adapter, press the Simple Connect button for 2 seconds and then press the Simple Connect button on the first
Powerline adapter to pair the devices. The Power LED blinks to indicate that the button is pressed.
Joining an Existing Powerline Network
The Simple Connect feature enables a new device to join an existing network, By copying the Private Network Name of the existing
network to the new Powerline adapter.
To join an existing secured Powerline network using the Simple Connect button:
1. Plug Powerline adapter Z beside one of your existing Powerline adapter devices. Make sure you can observe the LED behaviour. Upon
connection, Powerline adapter Z’s LEDs blink simultaneously and then the Power LED remains on steadily. If there is an Ethernet link, the
Ethernet LED will be on.
2. On Powerline adapter Z, press the Simple Connect button for 5-8 seconds. When you release the button, the Power LED and Ethernet
LED will turn off and on again.
3. On the existing Powerline device, press the Simple Connect button for 1-3 seconds. When you release the button, the Power LED blinks
continuously. If the Power LED did not blink, press the Simple Connect button again for 1-3 seconds.
4. Within the next 2 minutes, press the Simple Connect button on Powerline adapter Z again for 1-3 seconds.
5. Confirm that the connection was established successfully. To do this, check that the Power LEDs and Powerline Activity LEDs on all
Powerline adapters are on. If the Powerline Activity LED on adapter Z is off, the pairing was not successful and you must repeat the
process.
6. Unplug Powerline adapter Z and then connect it to your Ethernet device using the Ethernet cables from the product package. After
connecting the Ethernet cable, plug adapter Z directly to a wall outlet where you intend to use it.
Note: Powerline adapters work best when connected directly to a wall socket. Avoid plugging them into a power strip or power extension. Other electrical devices in the power
strip produce electrical noise that may affect the performance of the adapter.
Determining Connection Rate
Each LED color of the Powerline Activity represents a connection rating. The connection rating can only be calculated when the device is
part of an existing network. The exact connection rate value can also be viewed using Powerline Utility.
