2.3 Low Power Mode
Your PLA-401 v3 is a certified green product. It goes into Low Power mode when
there is no Ethernet connection.
When you plug the PLA-401 v3 into an electric socket, it waits for an Ethernet
connection. When no connection is detected after sixty (60) seconds, the Power
LED blinks indicating that it is going into Low Power mode.
The same process occurs when you disconnect the PLA-401 v3 from a previously
working Ethernet connection. Sixty (60) seconds after disconnecting the Ethernet
cable, the PLA-401 v3’s Power LED blinks signalling that it is going into Low
Power mode.
The Ethernet and HomePlug LEDs are turned off in Low Power mode.
While in Low Power mode, you cannot use the ENCRYPT button. To enable the
ENCRYPT button again, you have to connect the PLA-401 v3’s Ethernet cable to a
computer/notebook or modem/router first. The PLA-401 v3 wakes up from Low
Power mode and you can start using the ENCRYPT button.
Low Power mode is enabled by default.
