INDEPENDENT NETWORK SETUP
Each SimpleNet adapter is set with a default security key so it automatically links
to all other such devices sharing the same electrical lines. If there are other such
devices in the building (in an ofce or apartment building, perhaps), you may want
to create your own individual (independent) network group so others’ SimpleNet
devices can’t connect to your network.
Creating a New Independent Network (Network AB)
As shown below, two unassociated SimpleNet adapters (Adapter A and Adapter B)
form a new network: Network AB.
1.
Press and hold the Security button on Adapter A for 10 seconds. Release it when
the Power (PWR) LED ashes. The password to Adapter A 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 Adapter B for 10 seconds and release it
when the Power LED ashes. The password to Adapter B has just been erased,
and this second device also must now be linked to your network to adopt the new
network security key. Note: At this point, Adapters A and B are not networked.
3.
Press and hold the Security button on Adapter A for 2 seconds. The Power LED
starts to ash.
4. Within 2 minutes of the Power LED on
Adapter
A beginning to ash, press and
hold the Security button on
Adapter
B for 2 seconds.
Adapter
A and
Adapter
B
are now networked together.
