2.5 Forming a HomePlug A Logical Network
By default, HP200PT 4 come without a network identifier and encryption key.When you plug
two HP200PT 4 into electrical outlet, It will operate normally but without security configuration.
The Network Membership Key (NMK) uniquely identifies a Private Network, the HomePlug
AV Logical Network (A LN). Devices that share the same NMK will form a logical network
when connected to common Powerline media. This permits multiple logical networks to exist
on the same connection. Individual devices can join or leave a specific logical network by
changing NMK. In order to form a HomePlug AV Logical Network between two adapters are
as following 3 steps: (see figure 1.)
1. Press the button on the first device for less than 3 seconds.
2. Press the button on the second device for less than 3 seconds.
3. Wait for connection to complete within 1 minute.
During the configuration process, the Power LED on each device flashes evenly at one
second intervals until the operation succeeds or fails. If an error occurs, the Power LED on
the “adder” flashes unevenly until the pushbutton on the “adder” is pressed again or the
“joiner” is reset by pressing and holding the pushbutton for more than 10 seconds.
The ‘adder’ is the device that gives an NMK to another device. The ‘joiner’ is the device that
takes an NMK from another device. The role of ‘adder’ or ‘joiner’ is determined automatically
by each device when the Simple Connect button is pressed. A device that belongs to an
existing logical network will become an ‘adder’. A device that does not belong to a powerline
network will become a ‘joiner’. Only one ‘adder’ and one ‘joiner’ can participate in any join
operation.

2.6 Joining & leaving the Powerline network
[Joining a Powerline network]
When both HP200PT 4 adapters already on an existing AVLN and you want a new device
(“joiner”) to join the network, please following these steps below:
1. Press the pushbutton on the ‘joiner’ for less than 3 seconds.
2. Press the pushbutton on any network device for less than 3 seconds, making it the ‘adder’.
You have 1 minute, by default, to press this pushbutton.
3. Wait for connection to complete
The Power LED on both devices will flash at 1-second intervals until the process succeeds
or fails. It will illuminate steadily on success. If an error occurs, the Power LED on the
‘adder’ will flash unevenly until the pushbutton on the ‘adder’ is pressed again or the
‘joiner’ is reset by pressing the pushbutton for more than 10 seconds, as described in
Figure 2.
Figure2. Join the Powerline network
[Leaving a Powerline network]
Press the Simple Connect pushbutton on the device for longer than 10 seconds. Wait a few
seconds for the device to reset and leave the network:
1. Press the pushbutton on the ‘leaver’ for at least 10 seconds. The device will reset and
restart with a random NMK.
2. Wait for reset to complete.
[Join Multiple Devices to a Network]
To add several new devices to an existing network, the process in Joining a Powerline
network process must be repeated for each ‘joiner’. This lets you press the ‘adder’
pushbutton once then press each ‘joiner’ pushbutton in turn. If pushbuttons are pressed on
two or more joiners, only the first one will respond. The second will not. This makes timing
Important.
