2 Connecting Cables
1. Connect one end of a network cable to the PT500.
2. Connect the other end of the same network cable to the router's LAN port.
3. Plug the PT500 into a power outlet.
Taking the paired PT530 and PT500 as an example, this section introduce the installation method of PT530 by illustrating their connection to the Internet through a router.
Connect your devices in the sequence indicated in the following gure.
After the PT530 is powered on, the PT530 indicator turns on. The following table lists how the indicators behave when the PT530 is operating correctly. If the indicators
do not behave as expected, ensure that everything is plugged in correctly.
Indicator Expected State Description
PWR Steady on The PT530 is powered on.
PLC Steady on The PT530 is paired with another
powerline device.
LAN1/LAN2 Steady on The LAN port is connected to an Ethernet
device with a network cable.
WLAN Steady on WLAN is enabled.
If the basic conguration of your router has already been set (A computer
connected to the router can directly connect to the Internet) before you install
the PT530, Ethernet devices such as a computer connecting to the PT530
with cables can access the Internet directly after the PT530 completed the
installation as the gure shows above.
For the wireless connection method to the PT530, please refer to
the following section to complete the wireless conguration.
1 Pairing Powerline Devices
This product must be used with other powerline devices. This section uses a
PT530 and a PT500 to illustrate the pairing process.
1. Plug the PT530 into a power outlet.
When the PT530 is powered on, its
PWR indicator will turns to steady on.
2. Plug the PT500 into a power
