1. Asennuksen aloitus (Yleistä tietoa laitteen käyttöönottoon) Tehdasoletuksena PA500x2(b) sovittimilla on alla luetellut asetukset: Network name = PLC30xxxx (xxxx=numerosarja joka sama sovitinparilla) Encryption = AES 128bit PA500x2(b) sovittimet ovat oletuksena määritetty pariksi ja yhteys sovittimien välillä on salattu. Sovittimet toimivat siltana verkkojen välissä. Kohdassa 2 on ohjeet tietokoneen IP osoitteiden määrittämisestä Internet yhteyttä varten. Laajennettu verkko Jos haluat laajentaa verkkoasi ja käyttää useampaa kuin kahta sovitinta, voit yhdistää uuden sovittimen valmiiksi salattuun yhteyteen sovittimen pohjassa olevalla Security painikkeella. Paina ensin 2 sekuntia uudesta sovittimesta ja tämän jälkeen 2 sekuntia toisesta olemassa olevasta sovittimesta. Kun uuden sovittimen Powerline valo palaa, on uusi sovitin liittynyt samaan verkkoon muiden sovittimien kanssa. Verkon laajennuksen voi myös tehdä PowerPacketUtility ohjelmiston avulla. Asenna ensin PowerPacketUtility ohjelma mukana tulleelta CD:ltä jonka jälkeen aseta jokaiseen sovittimeen sama verkonnimi Private Network Name. Tarkemmat ohjeet löydät Utility Guide ohjeesta. Tehdasasetusten palautus: Tarvittaessa tehdasasetukset palautetaan painamalla noin 10 sekuntia Reset -painiketta sovittimen pohjasta virran ollessa päällä. Kaikki oikeudet muutoksiin pidätetään 5

A-Link PA500x2(b) Utility Guide 5 Forming a HomePlug AV logical network You can form a HomePlug AV logical network (AVLN) by using the Security/Reset push button or using the utility. 5.1 Using the Security/Reset Push button When device A and device B with different NMK values are connected to the same powerline, you can form a logical network by using the Security/Reset button. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Press the Security\Reset button on Device A for less than 3 seconds. Press the Security\Reset button on Device B for less than 3 seconds. The button on B must be pressed within 2 minutes. Wait for connection completing. The Power indicator on both devices will flash evenly at 1 second interval until the operation succeeds or fails. The Power indicator will illuminate steadily on successful completion. If any error occurs, the Power indicator on both devices will flash unevenly for 2 minutes. 9
6 Joining a Network A-Link PA500x2(b) Utility Guide You can add a device to an existing HomePlug AV logical network (AVLN) using the Security/Reset push button and using the Utility. 6.1 Using the Security/Reset Push button When device A and device B are located on network N, and device C (the joiner) not located in any networks attempts to join Network N. Any devices on Network N can become the adder. Perform the followings to add the device C to Network N using the Security/Reset button. Step 1 Press the Security\Reset button on Device A (or Device B) for less than 3 seconds, making it the adder. Step 2 Within 2 minutes, press the Security\Reset button on Device C (the joiner ) for less than 3 seconds. Step 3 Wait for connection completing. The Power indicator on Device A (or Device B) and Device C will flash at 1 second intervals until the process succeeds or fails. It will illuminate steadily on success. If any error occurs, the Power indicator on Device A (or Device B) and Device C will flash unevenly for 2 minutes. 10
6.2 Leaving a Network A-Link PA500x2(b) Utility Guide Device C is located on the network. Do as follows to remove device C from network N: Step 1 Press the Security/Reset pushbutton on device C (the leaver ) for 5-8 seconds. The device will reset and restart with a random NMK. Step 2 Wait for reset to complete. The Power indicator on device C momentarily extinguishes during reset, blinks during restart, and then illuminates steadily. After device C is removed from the existing network, users can disconnect the device from the medium or join it to another logical network on the same medium.
