2.3 Changing the Network Name/Security Key using the Sync Button The procedure describes how to create a change the network name/security key between a pair of TPL-402E powerline adapters. This procedure can also be used to establish connectivity between two powerline adapters that are currently disconnected and change the default network name/security key simultaneously. Assuming your TPL-402E powerline adapters are already plugged into wall power outlets and either currently connected or disconnected to each other. 1. Push and hold the Sync button on one of the TPL-402E powerline adapters 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 first powerline adapter. 2. Push and hold the Sync button on the other TPL-402E 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 second powerline adapter. 3. Push and hold the Sync button on the first TPL-402E powerline adapter for 2 seconds and release it. The PWR LED will start blinking. This will initiate sync/connection and generate a random network name/security key assignment to the first adapter. 4. Within 2 minutes (120 sec), push and hold the Sync button on the second TPL-402E powerline adapter for 2 seconds and release it. The PWR LED will start blinking. This will establish connectivity between the two powerline adapters by assigning the second powerline adapter's network name/security key to match the network name/security key of the first powerline adapter. 5. To verify connectivity between the two 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.

2.3
Changing the Network Name/Security Key using the Sync Button
The procedure describes how to create a change the network name/security key
between a pair of TPL-402E powerline adapters. This procedure can also be used to
establish connectivity between two powerline adapters that are currently disconnected
and change the default network name/security key simultaneously.
Assuming your TPL-402E powerline adapters are already plugged into wall power outlets
and either currently connected or disconnected to each other.
1.
Push and hold the Sync button on one of the TPL-402E powerline adapters 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 first powerline adapter.
2.
Push and hold the Sync button on the other TPL-402E 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 second powerline adapter.
3.
Push and hold the Sync button on the first TPL-402E powerline adapter for 2 seconds
and release it. The PWR LED will start blinking. This will initiate sync/connection and
generate a random network name/security key assignment to the first adapter.
4.
Within 2 minutes (120 sec), push and hold the Sync button on the second TPL-402E
powerline adapter for 2 seconds and release it. The PWR LED will start blinking. This
will establish connectivity between the two powerline adapters by assigning the
second powerline adapter’s network name/security key to match the network
name/security key of the first powerline adapter.
5.
To verify connectivity between the two 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.
