This section describes how to add and remove devices using HomePlug AV Simple Connect
Technology and covers some of the technical details of how the technology works.
Case 1: Forming a Network
Two devices with different network membership key (NMK) values are connected to the same
powerline. The user wants them to form a logical network.
1. Press each device RESET/NET.ID button for 5-8 sec till all LEDs re-flash to generate the
random network password key first.
2. Press RESET/NET. ID button of 1st device for less than 3 seconds.
3. Press RESET/NET. ID button of 2nd device for less than 3 seconds. The RESET/NET. ID
button of 2nd device must be pressed within 1 minute, by default however the interval is
programmable.
4. Wait for connection to complete and the PLC LED will be ON.
The PWR LED on both devices will flash evenly at 1-second intervals until the operation
succeeds or fails. It will illuminate steadily on successful completion. If an error occurs, the PWR
LED on the ‘adder’ will flash unevenly until the RESET/NET.ID button on the ‘adder’ is pressed
again or the ‘joiner’ is reset by holding the RESET/NET.ID button down for 10-15 seconds.
The join operation can be cancelled by pressing the RESET/NET.ID button on the first device
again, for less than 3 seconds, instead of pressing the RESET/NET.ID button on the second
device.
