2.4 Multiple Separate Powerline Networks
You can use the RESET/ENCRYPT button to create multiple separate powerline networks. Use the RESET/
ENCRYPT button on only two PLAs at a time.
1 Press the RESET/ENCRYPT button on powerline devices E and F for 0.5 to 3 seconds. This must be done
within 2 minutes (120 seconds) of pressing the RESET/ENCRYPT button on the first PLA.
2 Wait for about one minute while powerline devices E and F connect.
3 Now pair two different PLAs. Press the RESET/ENCRYPT button on powerline devices G and H for 0.5 to 3
seconds and within two minutes of each other.
4 Wait for about one minute while powerline devices G and H connect.
5 When the power ( ) and HomePlug ( ) lights shine steadily, the devices are connected.
Figure 6 Two Separate Powerline Networks
If the HomePlug ( ) lights on both powerline devices do not light up, the powerline devices
are not connected. Repeat the connection process, making certain you press the RESET/
ENCRYPT buttons for the correct time and within two minutes of each other. If that does not work
see Section 12.3 on page 64 for suggestions.
