InstallingyourPowerlineAdapters

BeforeyouInstall

1.Beforeyouproceedwiththeinstallation,verifythefollowing:
 Youalreadyhavearouteralreadyinstalled.
 YoualreadyhaveInternetaccessthroughyourexistingnetwork.
 AnEthernetport(alsocalledLANport)isavailableonyourrouter.
 VerifythatyouhaveatleasttwoPowerlineadapters.Youwillneedatleasttwo
PowerlineadapterstocreateaPowerlinenetwork.
Note:TheTPL‐407EpackageonlyincludesasinglePowerlineadapter.Please
ensurethatyourotherPowerlineadapterisHomePlug®AVorIEEE1901
compliant(e.g.TRENDnetmodelsTPL‐407E,TPL‐410APoranotherTPL‐407E.)

2.PlanthelocationofwhereyouwillinstallyourPowerlineadapters.
 Avoidpluggingtheadaptersintopowerstrips,extensioncords,orsurge
protectorsasthismaypreventtheadapterfromfunctioningcorrectlyordegrade
performance.
 Avoidpluggingtheadaptersintowallpoweroutletsthatarecontrolledbyalight
switchtopreventthePowerlineadapterfrombeingturnedoffaccidentally.
 Avoidpluggingtheadaptersintowallpoweroutletsthatarelocatednear
appliancesthatconsumealotofpower(e.g.refrigerators,washers,dryers)as
thismaydegradeperformance.
 Makesurethereisanavailablewallpoweroutletintheroomwheretherouter
isinstalledandalsoneartherouter.
 Makesurethereisanavailablewallpoweroutletintheroomwhereyouwant
toextendnetworkconnectivity.
ConnectaPowerlineadaptertoyourrouter

1.PlugthePowerlineadapterintoanavailablewallpoweroutletnearyourrouter.
Note:ThiswillallowdevicesconnectedtoyourPowerlinenetworktoaccesstheInternet
andotherdevicesconnectedtoyournetwork.

2.ConnecttheincludedEthernetcable(alsocallednetworkcable)fromtheEthernetport
(alsocallednetworkport)ofyourPowerlineadaptertoanavailableEthernetport(also
calledLANport)onyourrouter.

3.OncethePowerlineadapterisinstalledandconnectedtoyourrouter,verifythatthe
PowerLEDisonorblinkingandtheEthernetLEDisonorblinking.

Addadapterstoyournetwork

OnceyouhaveinstalledandconnectedthefirstPowerlineadaptertoyourrouter,you
caneasilyextendyournetworktootherroomsbyaddingadditionalPowerlineadapters.

ToextendyournetworkusinganadditionalPowerlineadapter:

1.First,makesurethefirstPowerlineadapterisinstalledandconnectedtoyourrouter.
Note:ThiswillallowdevicesconnectedtoyourPowerlinenetworktoaccesstheInternet
andotherdevicesconnectedtoyournetwork.

2.PlugtheadditionalPowerlineadapterintoanavailablewallpoweroutletinanother
roomnearacomputerornetworkdevice(e.g.gameconsoles,network‐enabledTVs,
networkattachedstorage,networkmediaserver/players,etc.)thatyouwouldliketo
connecttoyournetwork.

3.ConnecttheincludedEthernetcablefromtheEthernetportonyourPowerlineadapter
tothetotheEthernetportofyourcomputersornetworkdevices.

4.AftertheadditionalPowerlineadapterisconnectedandinstalledtoyourcomputeror
networkdevice,waitfortheDATALEDtoturnon.AftertheDATALEDturnson,verify
thatthePowerLEDison,theDATALEDisonorblinking,andtheETHERNETLEDisonor
blinking.

Note:ToverifythatyourPowerlineadaptersareconnectedsuccessfullytoyournetwork,
youcancheckifthecomputer(s)ornetworkdevice(s)canaccesstheInternetthroughyour
Powerlinenetwork.

ToinstalladditionalPowerlineadaptersinotherrooms,repeatthestepsaboveforeach
adapter.



SecuringyourPowerlineNetwork

PowerlinenetworksconsistoftwoormorePowerlinedevicesconnectedtogetherusing
thesameencryptionkey.TRENDnetPowerlineadaptersautomaticallyconnecttoeach
otheroverasecureencryptedsignalandsharethesameencryptionkey(Default
encryptionkey:HomePlugAV).

InorderforyourPowerlinedevicestoconnecttothesamePowerlinenetwork,thesame
encryptionkeymustbeassignedtoallPowerlinedevicesinthatnetwork.Powerline
devicesthatarenotassignedthesameencryptionkeywillnotbeabletoconnecttothe
Powerlinenetwork.

Foradditionalsecurity,TRENDnetrecommendschangingadapterdefaultencryptionkey
topreventaneighborwithaPowerlineadapterandthesamedefaultencryptionkeyfrom
gainingaccesstoyournetwork.

Note:AfterthedefaultencryptionkeyhasbeenchangedandthePowerlineadaptershave
beenconnectedusinganewencryptionkey,thePowerlineadapterswillretaintheir
securitysettingswhentheyareunpluggedandmovedtoanewlocation.Noadditional
reconfigurationofthePowerlineadaptersisneededafterthedefaultencryptionhasbeen
changed.

Therearetwomethodstochangethedefaultencryptionkey:

 UsethephysicalSyncbuttononyourPowerlineadaptertogeneratearandom
encryptionkey.
****Recommendedmethod****
OR
 CreateacustomizedencryptionkeyforyourPowerlinenetworkusingthe
includedPowerlineUtility.
*****IfusersfirstusetheSyncbuttonmethod,theadapterswillneedtobe
resettofactorydefaultsinordertochangesettingusingthePowerline


ThephysicalSyncbuttononthePowerlineadapterprovidesaneasymethodofchanging
thedefaultencryptionkey.TheSyncbuttongeneratesarandomencryptionkeyforyour
Powerlinenetwork.
Note:ThedefaultencryptionkeyassignedtoTRENDnetPowerlineadaptersis
HomePlugAV.Beforechangingthedefaultencryption,pleaseensurethatyourPowerline
adaptersarealreadyinstalledandconnectedusingthedefaultencryptionkey.

ImportantNote:WhenusingtheSyncButtontochangethedefaultencryptionkey,itis
highlyrecommendedtoplugtheadaptersintonearbyoutletsfirstandfollowtheSync
