7 Leaving a Network
This chapter describes how to remove a device from an existing HomePlug AV
logical network (AVLN) using the Security/Reset pushbutton.
Operation progress and results can be monitored by observing the behavior of
the Power and Data indicators.
Scenario:
Device C is located in a network. Users want to remove device C (the ‘leaver’)
from its network.
Figure 18 Remove a device from a network
Do as follows to remove device C from Network N using the Security/Reset
button:
Step 1
Press the
Security\Reset
pushbutton on device C (the ‘leaver’) for 5 to
8 seconds. Device C resets and restarts with a random NMK.
Step 2
Wait for the reset to complete.
The Power indicator on device C momentarily extinguishes during reset, blinks
during restart, and then illuminates steadily.
After device C is removed from its existing network, users can disconnect the
device from the medium or join it to another logical network on the same medium.
