2. Alternate Solution #1 – Power Line Communications from Power Manager to
Internet Router
Two Asoka PL9650-ETH PlugLink Ethernet Adapters form a plug n’ play Ethernet
connection that uses the building’s AC wiring for network communications. These
adapters may require environmental enclosures depending on installation site
requirements.
NOTE: The PlugLink Ethernet Adapters often do not work when plugged into an outlet
with surge protection (common in AC power strips, uninterrupted AC power sources,
etc.).
1.
Plug the first adapter into an AC
outlet close to the network router.
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet
cable to the adapter and the other
end to the network router.
3. Plug the second adapter into an AC
outlet close to the Power Manager.
4. Connect one end of the Ethernet
cable to the adapter and the other
end to the Power Manager, threading
the cable through the opening in the
Power Manager as shown on page 2.
5. Verify the adapter LED lights are on. If
the PlugLink light is green on both
adapters, move one or both adapter
to a different outlet.
6. Verify the Power Manager LCD home
screen displays COMM, which
indicates successful Internet
communications, usually within 5
minutes.
