How to Use Simple Connect
Simple Connect provides a more convenient way of creating your HomePlug AV
network without the need to open the HomePlug AV Utility software from a computer.
The button has three main functions which includes:
• Creating a HomePlug AV Network
• Resetting the Private Network Name
• Joining an existing HomePlug AV Network
Creating a HomePlug AV Network
To create a HomePlug AV network, you need at least two HomePlug AV devices using
random Private Network Names. When you press Simple Connect on both devices, a
common Private Network Name will be automatically generated to enable them to
communicate with each other.
Note:
Note:Note:
Note: New HomePlug AVs from a Twin Pack can already communicate with each other out of the box.
However, if you intend to create a new Private Network Name using Simple Connect for both devices, you
need to reset their Private Network Names to a random key before proceeding.
