5 Forming a HomePlug AV logical network
This chapter describes how to form a HomePlug AV logical network (AVLN) using
the Security/Reset pushbutton.
Operation progress and results can be monitored by observing the behavior of the
Power and Data indicators.
Scenario:
Devices A and B with different NMK values are connected to the same powerline.
Users want to use them to form a logical network.
Figure 10 Forming a HomePlug AV logical network
Do as follows to form a logical network using the Security/Reset button:
Step 1 Press the Security\Reset pushbutton on device A or B for 5 to 8
seconds. The device will reset and restart with a random NMK
Step 2 Press the Security\Reset button on device A for less than 3 seconds.
Step 3 Within 2 minutes, press the Security\Reset button on device B for less
than 3 seconds.
Step 4 Wait for connection to complete.
The Power indicator on both devices will flash evenly at 1 second interval until the
operation succeeds or fails. If the connection succeeds, the Power indicators on
both devices illuminate steadily, and Data indicators on both devices also
illuminate steadily. If the connection fails, the Power indicators on both devices
keep steady on, but the Data indicators on both devices are off. In that case, repeat
steps 1-4.
