2 Installation and hardware setup
Homeplug is a plug and play device; the user is able to plug and play without any complex configuration and
settings.
Simply plug the plug directly into any available wall outlet and connect to any network-enabled Ethernet port.
Please note that you need at least two Ethernet bridges to create a power line network.
Steps for hardware setup to create a power line network in your house with these Ethernet bridges:
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into the device’s network-enabled Ethernet port.
2. Plug the other end of that Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the plug located at the bottom of the
casing.
3. Plug the prongs in the back of the plug directly into a power outlet in the wall. Please avoid using
homeplug devices on power strips as they can affect product performance.
4. Repeat the above steps for the second Ethernet bridge to establish a power line network.
3 Configuration
By default, the plug has 128 bit AES encryption ensuring data security by blocking access from outside of the
house. However, we strongly recommend you changing the default network password with the Security
Button located on the bottom of the product.
Changing network password
1. After following the hardware setup and with both Ethernet Bridges plugged into the wall, press down on
the Security Button on both units for 10 seconds. This will change the password to a random value.
2. Press down the Security Button on one unit for more than 0.5 seconds, but less than 3 seconds.
3. You will have 2 minutes to go to the second unit and press the Security Button down for more than
0.5 seconds, but less than 3 seconds.
4. The new network password has now been saved to the second unit. The password will not be lost, even
if the Ethernet bridges are unplugged from the wall.
Adding a new plug to the existing power line network
If the default power line network password has been setup, a new Ethernet bridge will have to load the new
password before it can join the existing power line network.
1. Press the Security Button on an already encrypted unit for more than 0.5 seconds, but less than
3 seconds.
2. You will have 2 minutes to the new unit and press down its Security Button for more than 0.5 seconds,
but less than 3 seconds.
3. The new Ethernet bridge has now been loaded with the network password and added to the existing
power line network.
Restoring factory settings
Use a pin and hold the Reset Button down for 2 seconds to restore to factory settings on each unit you are
trying to connect. The unit will then connect, based on factory settings.
