Chapter 5: Security Button

This secon demonstrates how to add or remove devices from a HomePlug AVLN with the “Security (Group)” buon. The “Power” LED indicates the operaon status and result.

5.1 Forming a HomePlug AV Logical Network

When two devices with dierent NMK values are connected to the same powerline and you want them to form a logical network, follow the following procedures:

Step 1 Press the “Security (Group)” buon on device A for less than 3 seconds.

Step 2 Press the “Security (Group)” buon on device B for less than 3 seconds. This should be done within 1 minute.

Step 3 Wait for the conneccon to complete.

The “Power” LED on both devices will blink evenly at 1-second intervals until the operaon succeeds or fails. If the conneccon succeeds, it will illuminate steadily. If an error occurs, the power LED on the adder will blink unevenly until the “Security” buon on the adder is pressed again or the joiner is reset.

5.2 Joining a Network

If you want to add a new device to an existing network, follow the following procedures:

Step 1 Press the "Security" buon on the new device for at least 3 seconds.

Step 2 Press the “Security” buon on any device in the network for less than 3 seconds. This should be done within 1 minute.

Step 3 Wait for the conneccon to complete.

The “Power” LED on both devices will blink evenly at 1-second intervals until the operaon succeeds or fails. If the conncon succeeds, it will illuminate steadily. If an error occurs, the power LED on the adder will blink unevenly until the “Security” buon on the adder is pressed again or the joiner is reset.
