Overview

The PLA401 v2 allows you to set up a powerline network

using the electrical outlets in your home. The figure below

shows your PLA401 v2 (B) connected to a DSL modem (A).

You can plug a second PLA401 v2 (C) into another outlet in

your home and connect a computer for Internet access. Use

the push-button ENCRYPT feature to set up a secure

HomePlug AV compatible powerline network.

Note: You can connect to the Internet through a router, switch

or modem. The DSL modem is just an example.

This Quick Start Guide shows you how to do the following:

1Connect the PLA401 v2 to a Cable/DSL Modem or Router

2Connect the PLA401 v2 to a Computer

3Set Up a HomePlug AV Powerline Network

ENGLISH

1 Connect the PLA401 v2 to a Cable/

DSL Modem or Router

1Use an Ethernet cable to connect the ETHERNET port on

the PLA401 v2 to an available Ethernet port of your

modem, router or switch.

2Plug the PLA401 v2 into a

power outlet.

3The power ( ) LED should

be on and the Ethernet ( )

LED should be on or blinking.

VIf none of the LEDs

are on, unplug your

device and recheck

your hardware

connections.

ENGLISH

2 Connect the PLA401 v2 to a

Computer

1Use an Ethernet cable to connect the ETHERNET port on

the PLA401 v2 to the Ethernet port on your computer.

2Plug the PLA401 v2 into a power outlet.

3The power ( ) LED should be on and the Ethernet

() LED should be on or blinking.

4When the PLA401 v2 detects a connection to another

PLA401 v2 (or another HomePlug AV compatible

powerline adapter), the HomePlug ( ) LEDs turn on and

blink when there is traffic.

If you are having trouble setting up your connections, make

sure:

• Your outlets are working properly. Unplug the PLA401 v2 and

plug in another electrical appliance that you know works.

• The Ethernet cables you are using are Category 5 or higher.

Most cables are labeled with their specifications.

• All Ethernet cables are securely connected.

ENGLISH

3 Set Up a HomePlug AV Powerline

Network

There are two ways to secure your powerline network.

• If your other powerline devices have ENCRYPT buttons, go

to section 3.1.

• If your other powerline devices do not have ENCRYPT but-

tons, see the User’s Guide for instructions on using the PLA-

4xx Configuration Utility to set up your secure Powerline net-

work.

3.1 Set Up a Powerline Network with

ENCRYPT

Use the ENCRYPT button to set up a secure connection

between your PLA401 v2 and another ENCRYPT-enabled

device (The PLA-400 v2 is shown as an example).

"Use the ENCRYPT feature on two devices at a

time.

1Place the powerline devices close to each other, as you

only have two minutes to press the ENCRYPT buttons on

both devices. You can disconnect the devices from your

computer or modem (or other networking equipment) if

ENGLISH

you need to, but the powerline devices need to be plugged

into power outlets.

2Press the ENCRYPT button at the rear of both of your

devices for 10~15 seconds. This sets up a random

network name.

3Press the ENCRYPT buttons at the rear of your powerline

devices for 1~2 seconds.

4While the devices are connecting, the power ( ) and

HomePlug ( ) lights blink. Also several times all lights

blink at the same time and the HomePlug ( ) light shows

red.

5Wait for about one minute while your powerline devices

connect. The power ( ) light is steady when the

ENCRYPT process times out, the HomePlug ( ) light is

steady if you have a successful connection.

VIf the power ( ) light does not blink, you have

probably pressed the ENCRYPT button for too

long. Try again, pressing the ENCRYPT button

for 1~2 seconds.

VIf the HomePlug ( ) lights on both powerline

devices do not light up, the powerline devices

are not connected. Repeat steps 2 and 3 in this

section. If that doesn’t work, see the User’s

Guide for more suggestions.

6To add another powerline device (C) to your network,

connect it with one of the powerline devices (Aor B)

ENGLISH

already connected to your powerline network (See steps 2

and 3 in this section).

7If you disconnected your powerline devices from your

computer or modem (or any other networking product

connected to your powerline device) in step 1 of this

section, you can now reconnect them.

VIf the HomePlug ( ) light is off, use the PLA-

4xx configuration utility (see the User’s Guide

for details) to detect all other HomePlug AV

devices on your power line network. Try

plugging a second HomePlug AV device into an

adjacent socket (to your PLA401 v2) and see if

the HomePlug ( ) light comes on.

Congratulations! This connects your powerline devices and

any products you have connected to your powerline devices,

such as your home computer or network modem.
