REQUIREMENTS Safety Notice: l l The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. le socle de prise de courant doit être installé à proximité du matériel et doit être aisément accessible.
LED INDICATORS The LEDs on the front of the PL60 can help you understand the current state of your adapters. LED Action Meaning Power Adapter is on.
CONNECTION AND CONTROLS To minimize unwanted AC line noise that may degrade the performance of your PL60, take advantage of the filtered outlet on the face of the unit for powering your AC devices - especially USB and other cell phone chargers, dimmer-capable lamps, plasma TVs and other devices employing switching power supplies. Plug a power strip into the front of the PL60 for additional filtered capacity. The bottom of the PL60 has 2 buttons and a gigabit Ethernet port.
INSTALLATION Using one of the supplied Ethernet cables, connect the PL60 adapter to your router. Plug the unit into an AC outlet. The Power and Ethernet LEDs should both light up. ETHERNET WAN LAN Plug in the PL62AC adapter in the room where you wish to extend your network. The Power LED will light up.
Confirm that the Data LEDs on both adapters are lit, indicating the adapters are connected. If not, try a different wall outlet located closer to the PL60 adapter. Using the remaining, supplied Ethernet cable, connect your device to the PL62AC adapter. Confirm that the Ethernet LED is lit. Your hardware installation is complete.
SECURITY Adapters on the same network must use the same encryption key. Any PL60s (or PL62AC) using the default encryption key will communicate successfully. To help protect your network from unauthorized access via the power lines, it is recommended that you create a private encryption key to replace the default key. To create a private encryption key, follow these steps: 1. All Adapters Plug in all the adapters to be re-keyed.
EXPAND YOUR PL60 NETWORK If you would like to add more than 2 adapters, press the Link button of the additional adapter for no more than 3 seconds. The Power LED blinks after you release the button. Within 2 minutes, press the Link button of any adapter in your existing network for no more than 3 seconds. The Power LED blinks after you release the button. After performing the above security steps, your network will be securely configured using the same network encryption key for all adapters.
