To create a private network, press and hold the Security button on each adapter for about 10 seconds until the power LED blinks. Then on adapter A, press the Security button for 2 seconds, then within 120 seconds do the same on adapter B. The two adapters will be paired.

How to add a new adapter to an existing network?

To add adapter C to an A-B network, first clear its password by holding the Security button for 10 seconds. Then press the button on adapter C for 2 seconds, and within 120 seconds press the button on adapter A (or any adapter in the network) for 2 seconds. Adapter C will join the network.

How to remove an adapter from the network?

To remove an adapter, press and hold the Security button for about 10 seconds until the power LED blinks. This clears its password and removes it from the network. It can then be paired to another network.

What to do if the adapters are not communicating?

Check the following: unplug and re-plug the adapter after 10 seconds. Press and hold the Reset button for 15 seconds to restore factory settings. Try a different wall outlet. Avoid extension cords and surge protectors. Ensure the adapters are on the same electrical circuit (same breaker panel).

What do the LED indicators mean?

Power LED: on = powered, off = not powered. PLC Link LED: red = weak signal (<50 Mbps), orange = normal signal (50-100 Mbps), green = excellent signal (>100 Mbps), off = no connection. Ethernet Link LED: green = Ethernet port active (10/100 Mbps), off = inactive.

Can I plug the adapter into a power strip?

It is strongly discouraged to plug the adapter into an extension cord or surge-protected power strip, as this may reduce performance or interrupt the signal. For optimal operation, plug it directly into a wall outlet.

How to put the adapter into standby mode?

To enter standby mode, simply disconnect the Ethernet cable from the adapter. After about 3 minutes of inactivity, the adapter automatically switches to standby mode to save energy.

How to clean the adapter?

Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, or water. Unplug the adapter before cleaning.

How to dispose of the device at end of life?

Do not dispose of the adapter with household waste. Take it to an appropriate collection point for recycling electronic waste. Contact your local authority or the distributor for more information.

Bottom details

Security button

This function is designed to generate an individual HomePlug network group in a multi-node environment. Please refer to the "Individual HomePlug Network Setup" section below for more details.

Reset button

This function is used to clear all data and restore all settings to the factory default values.

Note: The HomePlug must be plugged in to restore all factory settings. Hold the Reset button until the status light begins to flash.

1.3 Initial setup

The CS500PLCN100 is a Plug-and-Play device. You can easily use the device without any complicated configurations and settings. You can also use the device to connect network devices like computers and game consoles directly. You can also connect devices like Blu-Ray Disc™ player to a router or modem for internet access.

Connect the HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridge to a computer or modem / router:

1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on the bottom of the HomePlug.

2. Plug the HomePlug into an AC wall power outlet near the device you want to connect to. (Note: Do not plug this HomePlug into a power strip that has surge protection. Doing so will degrade the power line performance. For best performance, plug the HomePlug directly into a wall outlet.)

3. To connect to a computer, plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into an available Ethernet port of your computer.

4. To connect to a modem / router, plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into an available Ethernet port of your modem / router.

5. Make sure that the PLC link light is solid green.

6. Your HomePlug is now connected in the network.

Chapter 2: Individual HomePlug AV Network Setup (optional)

Since all HomePlug units do have a default security key, they will automatically be linked to all other HomePlug units sharing the same electrical lines. If there are other HomePlug units in the building (such as in an office or apartment building), you may want to create your own individual HomePlug network group so that other HomePlug units cannot connect to your network. The section below describes how to use the security button for reconfiguration in some situations.

2.1 Creating a new individual HomePlug AV Network (Network AB)

Two unassociated HomePlug units (A and B) are forming a network.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug A for about 10 seconds. Release when the power light flashes. The password to HomePlug A has just been erased. It must be linked to your network to adopt the new network security key.
2. Do the same for HomePlug B.
3. Now, HomePlug A and B are now networked separately.
4. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug A for 2 seconds and then release.
5. The power light of bridge A starts to flash.
6. Within 120 seconds press and hold the security button on HomePlug B for 2 seconds and then release.
7. Both HomePlug A and B are now networked together.

2.2 Adding HomePlug C to an existing Network AB (Network ABC)

The procedure is as follows:

1. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug C for about 10 seconds. Release when the power light flashes. The password to HomePlug C has just been erased. It must be linked to your network to adopt the new network security key.
2. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug C for 2 seconds. The power light starts to flash.
3. Within 120 seconds, press and hold the security button on HomePlug C for 2 seconds and then release.
4. HomePlug A, HomePlug B and HomePlug C are now networked.

2.3 Removing HomePlug B from HomePlug A and C network and join HomePlug D and E (Network BDE)

The procedure is as follows:

1. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug B for about 10 seconds. Release when the power light flashes. The password to HomePlug B has just been erased and HomePlug B removes itself from HomePlug A and C.
2. Press and hold the security button on HomePlug D for 2 seconds. The power light starts to flash.
3. Within 120 seconds after the power light on HomePlug D starts to flash, press and hold the security button on HomePlug B for 2 seconds and then release.
4. HomePlug B and HomePlug D are now connected to each other. Therefore, together with HomePlug E, they will form the network BDE.

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting & disclaimer

If your HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridge has difficulty communicating with each other, check the following:

• Try power cycling the unit by unplugging it from the wall socket for 10 seconds and plug it in again.
- Hold the Reset button on each HomePlug for 15 seconds and try to re-connect. The HomePlug's light will flash, and the HomePlug will be reset and attempt to link using the default factory settings.
- Try plugging the HomePlug into an adjacent power outlet.

- The HomePlug works better when plugged directly into the wall power outlet. Connecting the HomePlug to a power strip or surge protector may degrade the network performance or completely stop network signals.

- This HomePlug should not be used in areas with excessive heat.

- Certain florescent or incandescent lights are noise sources for the electrical wiring and can degrade the performance.

- If your building has more than one circuit breaker box, your HomePlug may not be able to connect between the different circuit breaker boxes. In this case, connect one HomePlug to a power outlet located on each of the circuit boxes. Connect an Ethernet cable between each of the HomePlug units to link the different HomePlug together. This will allow the HomePlug units from different circuit breaker boxes to be connected.

- To enter standby mode, simply remove the Ethernet cable from the HomePlug and wait about 3 minutes.
