Setting up a Network Quickly
The PT500 supports the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). You can use the
Pair
button to quickly set up a network with multiple PT500 adapters to ensure secure
data transmission.
To quickly set up a network with multiple PT500 adapters:
1 .
Press and hold the
Pair
button on a PT500 no more than 4 seconds, and then
release it.
The PWR indicator starts to blink.
2 .
Within 2 minutes, press and hold the
Pair
button on the other PT500 for 4
seconds, and then release it.
The PWR indicator starts to blink.
3 .
View the indicator status. When all indicators turn off and then steady on, a LAN
is then set up.
4 .
Press and hold the
Pair
button on a PT500 not connected to the LAN for 4
seconds, and then release it. Within 2 minutes, press and hold the
Pair
button
on any PT500 already connected to the LAN, and then release it.
The indicators on the newly connected PT500 turn off and then steady on. The
PT500 automatically restarts and is connected to the network.
A home network supports a maximum of eight PT500 adapters.
If the PLC indicator didn't blink after you press the Pair button, then please
plug the PT500 into the socket again and repeat this operation until the
indicator blinks.
If the pairing process fail for several attempts, press and hold PT500's PAIR
button more than 8 seconds until the PWR indicator turns off and then
release it. When the PWR indicator lights up again, repeat the pairing
