Appendix
Overlapping Powerline networks
It is possible to create multiple Powerline networks on the same electrical system
separated and grouped by different network encryption keys. The Powerline networks
will work and communicate independently of each other which can provide security
between different groups of Powerline adapters. For example, if you have five
powerline adapters (Adapter A, Adapter B, Adapter C, Adapter D, Adapter E), you can
group Adapters A,B, and C together on one powerline network and group Adapters D
and E on a different Powerline network. Each group will use a different encryption key.
Note:
It is recommended that only a maximum of up to 4 Powerline networks can be
created per electrical system. Any additional Powerline networks above the
recommended may result in significant degradation in Powerline performance.
Move Powerline adapters between different overlapping Powerline networks
Note:
Assuming all powerline adapters are TRENDnet Powerline adapters and for
reference in the diagram and this procedure, the adapters will be labeled
Adapter A, B,
C, D
, and
E
.
Adapters A, B,
and
C
are currently connect together to form one powerline
network and
Adapters D
and E form another powerline network. Adapter B will be
disconnected from Adapters A and C and connected to Adapters D and E.
1. Push and hold the Sync button on
Adapter B
for 15 seconds and release it. All LEDs
will turn off and turn back on. This will erase the current encryption key assigned to
Adapter B
and disconnect from
Adapter A
and
Adapter C
.
2. Push and hold the
Sync
button on
Adapter D
for 2 seconds and release it. The
Power
(PWR) LED
will start blinking.
3. Within 2 minutes, push and hold the
Sync
button on
Adapter B
for 2 seconds and
release it. The
Power (PWR) LED
will start blinking. This will establish connectivity
between
Adapter B
,
Adapter D
, and
Adapter
E
by reconfiguring the encryption key of
Adapter B
to match the encryption key of
Adapter D
and
Adapter E
. All LEDs will turn
off and turn back on and the
Powerline (PL) LED
will turn on the when adapters are
connected.
