POWERLINE AV ETHERNET ADAPTER USER MANUAL MODELS 503273, 503280, 506557, 506564, 506571 Model 506557: AV500 / 1-Port Model 506571: AV200 / 3-Port INT-503273/503280/506557/506564/506571-UM-0408-05
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ Powerline AV200 Ethernet Switch, Model 506571 (3-port) or Powerline AV200 Ethernet Adapter, Model 503273; or Powerline AV500 Ethernet Adapter, Model 506557. The Starter Kits — Models 503280 (AV200) and 506564 (AV500) — feature a pair of units, the minimum number required to operate the devices.
INITIAL SETUP Each Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter/Switch (or “Bridge”) allows you to connect one device (or three devices, with Model 506571) that has an Ethernet port to a power line network. In operation, the bridge is completely transparent: It simply passes data from the Ethernet port along the power line network. In turn, any Ethernetenabled device may be connected to that bridge’s Ethernet port, as in the examples below.
Connections 1. Connect one end of the included Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the bottom of the device. 2. Plug the adapter/switch into an AC power outlet. CAUTION: Do not plug the device into a power strip or wall outlet that uses surge protection, Ethernet as this may prevent the device from working Reset Security button port button properly. 3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on your modem or router. 4.
INDEPENDENT NETWORK SETUP All Powerline AV Ethernet Adapters/Switches are set with a default security key so they automatically link to all other such devices sharing the same electrical lines. If there are other such devices in the building (in an office or apartment building, perhaps), you may want to create your own individual (independent) network group so other Powerline AV Ethernet devices can’t connect to your network.
Adding Bridge C to Existing Network AB (Network ABC) As shown below, one unassociated Switch (Bridge C) is added to expand an existing network: Network AB. 1. Press and hold the Security button on Bridge C for 10 seconds. Release it when the Power light flashes. The password to Bridge C has just been erased and the device must now be linked to your network to adopt the new network security key. 2. Press and hold the security button on Bridge A for 2 seconds. The Power LED on Bridge A starts to flash. 3.
Removing Bridge B from Bridge A & C Network and Joining with Bridge D & E (Network BDE) 1. Press and hold the Security button on Bridge B for 10 seconds. Release it when the Power LED flashes. The password to Bridge B has just been erased and removes itself from Bridge A & C. 2. Press and hold the Security button on Bridge D for 2 seconds. 3. Within 2 minutes of the Power LED on Bridge D beginning to flash, press and hold the Security button on Bridge B for 2 seconds, then release it.
TROUBLESHOOTING If any of the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapters/Switches in your network have difficulty communicating with one another, consider the following suggestions. • Try power-cycling the unit by unplugging it from the wall for 10 seconds and plugging it in again. • Use a pin and hold the Reset button in for 2 seconds on each unit you’re trying to connect. The Reset light will flash as the units reset and attempt to link using default factory settings. • Try plugging the device into an adjacent plug.
