Secure Your Network ¾¾ To create a secure network: 1. Plug in your new adapters. 2. Wait until the Pick A Plug LEDs are blinking. 3. Press the Security button for two seconds, then press the Security button on one of the other adapters in your existing network for two seconds. Both buttons must be pressed within two minutes. Warning: Do not press the Security button on the Powerline adapter until installation is complete and the adapters are communicating with each other (indicated by the blinking Pick A Plug LED). Pressing this button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline communication. If this occurs, use the Factory Reset button to return the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings. Note: If, after creating a secure Powerline network, you want to add another adapter, perform a factory reset on all of the adapters and then perform this procedure. Note: The Security button does not work in power saving mode (see Troubleshooting Tips on page 10). 8
