The configuration utility will allow you to add security to your powerline network by
providing you with the ability to change the default network name and create your
own personal network name for your powerline network. The utility can also help
you troubleshoot connectivity between powerline adapters by verifying the network
name. Please refer to the User's Guide on the TPL-401E/TPL-401E2K CD-ROM

The example diagram shows a typical powerline network configuration in a home
environment with 3 powerline adapters installed in different rooms.The orange line
represents the powerline connectivity established through your home's electrical
system and the blue lines represent Cat. 5, 5e, 6 Ethernet connectivity to your
network enabled appliances such as a computer, router, or IPset top box connected
to your television.
Note:
1. DO NOT install theTPL-401E until instructed to do so.
2. DO NOT plug theTPL-401E into a surge protector or power strip.
3. Avoid connecting the TPL-401E into an outlet that has appliances (e.g.
refrigerators, washer and dryer) plugged in.
4. In order for the TPL-401E adapters to link to each other, each unit must be on the
same electrical system.
5. Amaximum of 16 TPL-401E adapters can be networked.
6. Assuming that the TPL-401E adapters are configured with the default settings, to
create a powerline network, simply connect all TPL-401E adapters to wall outlets
that are on the same electrical system. No additional configuration in the utility is
necessary.
7. The network name must be the same on all powerline adapters in order to
establish connectivity. If the network name is not the same on all powerline
adapters, the adapters will NOT establish connectivity. The default network name
for the TPL-401E is “HomePlugAV”.

Below is an example showing how to create a Powerline network using the TPL-401E and
your existing router to share Internet.
1. Plug a TPL-401E into an available power outlet.
This TPL-401E should be located within the
reach of the router's network cable.
2. Connect a network cable from the TPL-401E to
an available LAN network port on your router
(e.g. TEW-673GRU).
3. Plug a second TPL-401E into an available
power outlet where your remote computer or
network appliances (e.g. Game Console, IP Set
box, network enabled TV, etc.) are located.

4. Connect a network cable from the TPL-401E
network port into the network port on your
remote computer or network appliance (e.g.
Game Console, Blu-ray player, IP Set box,
network enabled TV, etc.).
5. Verify that the PWR (Power), PL (Powerline)
and ETH (Ethernet Link/ACT) LEDs are on for
both TPL-401E adapters.
Your installation is now complete

I have verified that my Powerline device is connected to my workstation, but I cannot
detect other Powerline devices. What should I do?
1.Verify that you are using Cat. 5, Cat. 5e or Cat. 6 Ethernet network cables for each
TPL-401E adapter.
2.Verify that the power outlet of the TPL-401E adapter is plugged into is on the same
electrical system and/or circuit breaker box.
3.If you are still not able to establish connectivity after performing the above steps, please
reset both of the TPL-401E adapters to factory default.The default network name/key is
“HomePlugAV”. The Reset button is located on the bottom of theTPL-401E.
1. With a pin or paperclip, press and hold the reset button for 1 second and release it.
The LEDs will turn off and turn back on.
2. To verify connectivity, the PLLED will become solid when the powerline adapters
establish connectivity. TheTPL-401E powerline adapters must have the same
network name/key in order to connect to each other.
Note: If you have problems resetting the device, unplug the powerline adapter(s) from
the power outlet, wait 15 seconds and plug the adapter(s) back into the outlet, then
repeat the reset procedure.
2. I can detect my Powerline devices on my Powerline network, but I cannot connect to the
Internet. What should I do?
Assuming that the Powerline network is connected to a router:
Make sure you are not connecting the device into a surge protector or power strip.
2. Make sure that your Router is connected to the Internet and one of the Router's LAN ports
is connected to the TPL-401E's network port). Check bothTPL-401E and the router's
network port LED for positive connection status.
3. Make sure your computer's TCP/IPsettings are set to Obtain an IP address
automatically (see the steps below).

The TPL-401E is not backwards compatible with HomePlug 1.0 or HomePlugTurbo.
5. Do I need to reconfigure my TPL-401E after I hit the reset button?
No, the TPL-401E adapter should automatically establish connection once both units are reset
to default settings.
If you still encounter problems or have any questions regarding the TPL-401E, please refer to the
User's Guide included on the Utility CD-ROM or contact TRENDnet'sTechnical Support
