Note: The RESET/ENCRYPT button’s location varies for each Powerline model.
3 Repeat step 2 in this section for the other powerline device you wish to connect. This must be done
within 120 seconds of pressing the RESET/ENCRYPT button on the PLA4211.
Note: Check the lights on the two powerline devices. The power ( ) and HomePlug ( )
lights should be blinking while the devices are connecting. Several times all lights
blink simultaneously and the HomePlug ( ) light also shows red. Wait for about
one minute while your powerline devices connect.
If the power ( ) light does not blink when you press RESET/ENCRYPT, you have probably
pressed the RESET/ENCRYPT button for too long. Try again, pressing the RESET/
ENCRYPT button for 0.5 to 3 seconds.
If the HomePlug ( ) lights on both powerline devices do not light up, the powerline
devices are not connected. Repeat steps 2 and 3 in this section. If that doesn’t work, see
the Troubleshooting in Section 6.5 on page 45 for suggestions.
