Introduction
This application guide will give the average user a more comprehensive understanding of how HomePlug AV adapters
work and how to use them. The secure pairing and factory reset buttons are all that’s needed to perform any required
operations on an adapter. When adapters are paired, the pairing status light will be on (though it blinks to indicate
activity). If the pairing light doesn’t come on, then see the final section “Repairing a Broken Network”. Often it’s easier
to understand and interpret your HomePlug network by running and monitoring the network using LEA Networks
SoftPlug network management software. This allows the user to see the real-time status, network mode, and connection
speed of each device in the network. Once the user is familiar with resetting and secured pairing procedures, the
software isn’t as necessary.
