Chapter 7: Troubleshooting If your powerline adapters have difficulty communicating with each other, try the following procedures: • Try power cycling the unit by unplugging it from the electric outlet for 10 seconds and plugging it in again. • Hold the "Group/Reset" button down for 10~15 seconds on each unit you are trying to connect. The units will reset and attempt to establish a connection using factory default settings. • Try plugging the powerline adapter into an adjacent electric outlet. • This powerline adapter should not be used on GFI protected electric outlets, as some outlets will filter out the powerline signal. • This powerline adapter should not be used in areas with excessive heat. • Certain florescent or incandescent lights are noise sources that can degrade performance. • If your building has more than one circuit breaker box, your powerline adapters may not be able to establish a connection across different circuit breaker boxes. In such cases, try establishing a connection across different circuit breaker boxes by linking two powerline adapters together with an Ethernet cable. 24
