9. The SECURITY/RESET button

The SECURITY/RESET button has three functions depending on how long it is pressed: Seconds Function 1-2 Connects to an existing Powerline net- work 5-8 Generates a random, unique network key on the adapter and immediately separates the device from an existing network. 10-15 Resets the adapter to the factory settings. 87309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 4187309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 41 10.04.2015 08:20:3710.04.2015 08:20:3742 of 82

In order to create a network with the Powerline Adapters, it is necessary for at least two adapters to be connected for the purpose of transferring data. There are two options available: A direct connection between two network-capable devices or a connection between a network-capable device and a router (to the Internet). Connect the Powerline Adapter to a wall socket (100- 240V~50/60Hz) near to the network-capable device. NOTE In order to ensure constant access to an existing LAN network, it is necessary to permanently supply the Powerline Adapter with electricity. 10.1. Notes on the electricity connection NOTE Directly connect the Powerline Adapter to a wall socket and not to an extension cable or multiple socket adapter because otherwise this may negatively influence the quality of the data transmission. You can operate other devices via the integrated power socket on the Powerline Adapter. 87309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 4287309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 42 10.04.2015 08:20:3710.04.2015 08:20:3743 of 82

If possible, directly plug the Powerline Adapter into its own wall socket. NOTE If you cannot achieve a connection after linking the adapter to a computer, try the process again using a different wall socket. Please note that the quality of the data transmission is dependent on the load and quality of your mains electricity network: − The data transmission will slow down as the length of the power line between the two Powerline Adapters increases. − Depending on the load placed on the mains electricity network, the speed of the data transmission may vary or even be interrupted. − In the case of older mains electricity networks, which do not correspond to the latest technological standards, the data transmission may be a little slower. 87309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 4387309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 43 10.04.2015 08:20:3710.04.2015 08:20:3744 of 82 10.2. Connection with a network device In order to connect two network devices e.g. a PC and a router together in a network using Powerline Adapters, each of the two devices must be connected to their own Powerline Adapter with a LAN cable (RJ- 45). Modem/Router Connection example Connect the supplied LAN cable (RJ-45) with the LAN connection on the Powerline Adapter and the LAN connection on the router. Connect the LAN connection on the computer with the LAN connection on the second Powerline Adapter using the second LAN cable (RJ-45) supplied in the set. 87309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 4487309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 44 10.04.2015 08:20:3710.04.2015 08:20:3745 of 82

If possible, directly plug each Powerline Adapter into its own wall socket. Switch on the computer and the router. The setup process has been successful if all three LED displays POWER, LAN and POWERLINE light up on both Powerline Adapters.Integrating the adapter into the network NOTE For this process, it is helpful to plug all of the adapters, which are to receive the new network key, next to each other in a multiple socket adapter. Proceed as follows for each additional Powerline Adapter that is to receive the new network key: All of the Powerline Adapters to be configured are connected and ready for operation. The POWER LED lights up. Connect the adapter that is to be used to extend the network to a wall socket. The POWER LED lights up. Press the SECURITY/RESET button on this Powerline Adapter for approx. 5 - 8 seconds. The device will be reset and then restarts. All LED displays will briefly go out. This Powerline Adapter has now generated a random, unique network key. Press the SECURITY/RESET button on the adapter 87309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 4587309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 45 10.04.2015 08:20:3810.04.2015 08:20:3846 of 82 in the existing network for approx. 1 - 2 seconds. The Power LED flashes in green. Now press the SECURITY/RESET button on the adapter that you want to add to the existing network within two minutes. The Power LED flashes in green. When the POWER LED and also the POWERLINE LED are permanently lit in green on all Powerline Adapters, the addition of the new adapter and the encryption process have been successfully completed. NOTE Complete the process described above for each additional Powerline Adapter. 87309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 4687309 50050002 ECommerce DE EN FR content RC1.indb 46 10.04.2015 08:20:3810.04.2015 08:20:3847 of 82
