3.2 Device Connection
These steps show how to connect a PowerGrid 9020 to any network device.
In this case, we use the example of a personal computer (PC).
1. Turn on your PC (or other device).
2. Plug a PowerGrid 9020 unit into the power socket closest to the PC.
The Status LED on the PowerGrid 9020 should light up.
3. Connect the PowerGrid 9020 to the computer with an Ethernet cable.
The Ethernet LED on the PowerGrid 9020 should light up GREEN.
4. The STATUS LED on the PowerGrid 9020 should now be GREEN or ORANGE.
If it is not, please consult Chapter 6 - HELP.
3.3 Power Saving
These units have a smart power saving mode for energy conservation. They will
enter power saving mode if there is no Ethernet link detected within a 5 minute
period, and assuming that the unit is not required for Powerline routing.
For greater power savings, you can also unplug PowerGrid 9020 units. You may
consider doing so, if you are going on holiday or a business trip for an extended
period. These units keep their network security settings even after losing power,
so that you do not need to worry about losing network settings. This feature is
especially useful when moving networked devices or after a power outage.
