LEDs The LEDs indicate the status of your Powerline adapter. • • • • When you plug in the adapter, the Power LED lights up and turns green. The adapter is not active when no Ethernet link has occurred for more than 10 minutes. The adapter enters power saving mode, . and the Power LED turns amber The Ethernet LED lights up when you connect a powered-on Ethernet device to at least one Ethernet port. The Powerline LED turns on when the adapter detects at least one other compatible Powerline device.
Compatible NETGEAR Powerline Devices To create a Powerline network you need at least two compatible Powerline devices. Your Powerline adapter can share a Powerline network with these compatible NETGEAR devices: XAV101, XAV1004, XAV2001, XAV2101, XAV1101, XAV1301, XAV1601, XAV2501, XAV5001, XAV5501, XAV5601, XAV5004, and XAVN2001.

Install Your Powerline Adapter The filtered AC socket removes some electrical noise. Plugging a nearby device into the filtered AC socket improves performance. The ports use Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize traffic. Port 1 on the left is the highpriority video port. You can plug a power strip into the filtered outlet, but do not plug your Powerline adapter into a power strip.
You can set up a new Powerline network with your XAV2602 and a compatible Powerline device, or you can add your XAV2602 to an existing Powerline network. Set up a new Powerline network: 1. Obtain at least one more Powerline device that is compatible with the XAV2602. 2. Plug the Powerline AV+ 200-compatible adapter into an electrical outlet, and plug the XAV2602 adapter into another electrical outlet. • The Power LED on the XAV2602 lights up.
The Powerline LED turns on for each Powerline adapter when they detect each other. The devices automatically form a Powerline network. Add the adapter to a secure Powerline network: Your Powerline network is already secured if you used the Security button or the Powerline Utility to set up security. 1. Make sure that the Powerline devices you already use are compatible to the XAV2602. Plug the XAV2602 into another electrical outlet. 2.
Add the adapter to a Powerline network that has not been secured: 1. Check to make sure that the Powerline devices you already use are compatible. 2. Plug the XAV2602 adapter into another electrical outlet. The XAV2602 will start to communicate with other Powerline devices (indicated by the linking Powerline LED). 3. Use Ethernet cables (one is included in the package) to connect your equipment to the Ethernet ports on the adapter.
Secure Your Powerline Network A Powerline network forms when at least two compatible Powerline devices communicate. After the Powerline network is up and running, you can use the Security buttons on the adapters to add encryption to your Powerline network. CAUTION: Do not press the Security button until each adapter has powered up and its Power LED is solid green. Pressing this button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline communication.
