RESET/ENCRYPT Button
2.1 RESET/ENCRYPT Button Overview
The
RESET/ENCRYPT
button allows you to set up a secure Powerline connection with other HomeGrid
compliant PLAs which also support the ENCRYPT feature. No other Powerline setting changes are
required to connect.
You can use the
RESET/ENCRYPT
button to:
• set up a new HomeGrid network.
• reset the PLA to the factory defaults.
The following table summarizes the actions that occur when the
RESET/ENCRYPT
button is pressed for
specific lengths of time.
Note: The domain name is unknown when you use the
RESET/ENCRYPT
button.
2.2 Adding Devices to a HomeGrid Network
You can connect a number of PLAs on a HomeGrid network, but you can use the
RESET/ENCRYPT
button
on only two PLAs at a time.
Place a PLA close to another PLA so you have time to set up each one. After you set up the first PLA, you
have 120 seconds to set up the second PLA.
Note: Your PLA must be connected to a networking equipment for the
RESET/ENCRYPT
button
to work. Refer to
for more details.
Follow the steps below to set up your HomeGrid network:
