overview

the Adapter uses 128-bit AeS encryption to block access from the outside . By default, the protection is enabled . However, it is recommended that you change the default network password with the

“encryption” button located on the units .

how to use the Pushbutton

this section describes how to add new devices or remove old devices from your HomePlug AV Powerline network . Both can be accomplished using the pushbutton on the device .

while doing this you can monitor the status and the progress of the process using the device’s led’s .

forming a homePlug AV logical network

when creating a logical network for the first time with two Powerline adapters connected to the same power system and you want to communicate with each other then follow the steps below .

1 . Press the encryption button on both the devices A and B for 10 seconds until the units’ led’s flash and the units resets . (this does not have to be in the same time) .

2 . wait for 30 seconds for the reset to be complete .

3 . Press the encryption button on the first device A, which is connected to your router, for less than 3 seconds .

4 . Press the encryption button on the second device B, for less than 3 seconds . the button on B must be pressed within 1 minute of pressing the button on the first device A .

5 . the adapters should now connect, simply wait for connection to be established . the Power led on both of the devices should flash at 1-second intervals until the process has been completed, in success or failure . the Power led will be illuminated constant once the connection is established successfully . if an error occurs, the Power led on the device on the existing network (A or B in this example) will flash until the encryption button on the existing device is pressed again .

the new network password has now been saved to the second unit . the password will not be lost, even if the adapters are unplugged from the wall .

Joining an existing Network

in this scenario a network has already been established with multiple devices, A and B . You want to add a new device, C . Any of the existing devices on the network can act as the host to allow C to join the network . Follow these steps below .

1 . Plug in the device C on the same power system as device A and B .

2 . Press the encryption key on the device C for 10 seconds until the unit’s led’s flash and the unit resets .

3 . wait for 30 seconds for the reset to be complete .

4 . Press the encryption button on the existing device (A or B) for 3 seconds or less, it will then enter host mode .

5 . Press the encryption button on the new device C for less than 3 seconds . this must be done within one minute of step 4 .

6 . the new adapter should now join the existing network, simply wait for the connection to be established . the Power led on both of the devices should flash at 1-second intervals until the process has been completed, in success or failure . the Power led will be illuminated constant once the connection is established successfully . if an error occurs, the Power led on the device on the existing network (A, B, or C in this example) will flash until the encryption button on the existing device is pressed again .

device C wants to join this network .

Press the encryption button on device A or B for less than 3 seconds .

Press the encryption button on device C for less than 3 seconds .

A or B (depending which you used) becomes the host device .

C attempts to join the network if successful C will join the same network as A and B .

Surf Passthrough Powerline Networking Adapter leaving a network

leaving a Network

on an existing network when you want to remove a device from the network you may remove the device from the network or move it to an alternate network .

1 . Press the encryption button on the device you wish to remove for at least 10 seconds . this will reset and restart the device with a random encryption key .

2 . wait 30 seconds for the reset to complete .

the Power led on the device will momentarily go off during the reset . it will then flash during restart then illuminate steadily once ready .

once the process completes, the user may disconnect the device from the socket or follow the process above to join the device to another network .

resetting to factory defaults
