Figure 3 ENCRYPT Connection Procedure
Note: The RESET/ENCRYPT button’s location varies for each Powerline model.
Note: Check the lights on the two powerline devices. The power ( ) and HomePlug ( )
lights should be on while the devices are connecting. Wait for about two minutes 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 step 1 in this section. If that doesn’t work, see the Troubleshooting in
Section 12.3 on page 64 for suggestions.
