Preparing to Install Your Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter

To prepare for installation:

1. Before you begin, verify the following:

• Your Ethernet network is set up, and an Ethernet port is available on your router.

• Your Internet connection is working.

• Each computer that will use the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter has an Ethernet port

available and is configured to work on your network. Usually, the default configuration

settings (TCP/IP and DHCP) are fine.

2. Familiarize yourself with the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter. The front panel has three lights:

Power, Powerline, and Ethernet. The side panel has a Security button, a Reset button, and an

Ethernet port.

3. Plan the location of your Powerline devices:

Security button Configure security (see “Using the Security Button to Change the Encryption Key in

Your Network” on page 1-7).

Reset button To reset, use a sharp object such as a pen or a paper clip to briefly press this button

(for 2 seconds). The adapter automatically returns to factory default settings, and

then restarts.

Note: Pressing the reset button longer than recommended might interfere with

resetting the adapter.

10/100 Ethernet port Use this port to connect the adapter to a router, computer, or other peripheral device.
