3.4 Multiple Separate Powerline Networks
You can use the RESET/ENCRYPT button to create multiple separate powerline networks. Use the
RESET/ENCRYPT button on only two PLAs at a time.
1 Press the RESET/ENCRYPT button on powerline devices E and F for 0.5 to 3 seconds. This must
be done within 2 minutes (120 seconds) of pressing the RESET/ENCRYPT button on the first PLA.
2 Wait for about one minute while powerline devices E and F connect.
3 Now pair two different PLAs. Press the RESET/ENCRYPT button on powerline devices G and H for
0.5 to 3 seconds and within two minutes of each other.
4 Wait for about one minute while powerline devices G and H connect.
5 When the power ( ) and HomePlug ( ) lights shine steadily, the devices are connected.
Figure 12 Two Separate Powerline Networks
If the HomePlug ( ) lights on both powerline devices do not light up, the powerline
devices are not connected. Repeat the connection process, making certain you press the
RESET/ENCRYPT buttons for the correct time and within two minutes of each other. If that
does not work see Section 6.4 on page 47 for suggestions.
