2.4 Adding the Powerline Adapter to an Existing Powerline Network
The procedure describes how to add the TPL-401E 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter to an
existing powerline network.
Assuming the two TPL-401E powerline adapters are currently connected to each other and the
third TPL-401E (Additional) powerline adapter is currently disconnected.
1. Push and hold the Sync button on the additional TPL-401E powerline adapter for 10 seconds
and release it. All LEDs will turn off and turn back on. This will erase the current network
name/security key assigned to the additional TPL-401E powerline adapter.
2. Push and hold the Sync button on one of the two TPL-401E powerline adapters that are
currently connected to each other for 2 seconds and release it. The PWR LED will start
blinking.
3. Within 2 minutes (120 sec), push and hold the Sync button on the additional TPL-401E for 2
seconds and release it. The PWR LED will start blinking. This will establish connectivity
between the three powerline adapters by assigning the additional TPL-401E powerline
adapter’s network name/security key to match the network name/security key of the TPL-
401E powerline adapters that are currently connected.
4. To verify connectivity between the three powerline adapters, make sure that the PL LED on
each powerline adapter is on solid (Green, Amber, Red). Please refer to the LED section 1.5
for details on the LED indicator.
