• If the HomePlug (
) lights turn on, your HomePlug AV net-
work is ready for use.
• If the HomePlug (
) lights do not turn on, or if you want to 
make your network more secure, go to the next section to set 
up a HomePlug AV network using the ENCRYPT button. If 
your powerline devices do not have the ENCRYPT button, 
see the User’s Guide for instructions on setting up a secure 
powerline network.
3 Set Up a HomePlug AV Network with 
ENCRYPT
Use the ENCRYPT button to set up a secure connection 
between your PLA491 and another HomePlug AV product with 
an ENCRYPT button (The PLA-400 v2 is shown in the following 
figure as an example).
Place the powerline devices close to each other, so you 
have time to set up each one. After you set up the first 
powerline device, you have 120 seconds to set up the 
second powerline device.
• You can disconnect them from the computer or modem (or 
other networking product) if you need to, but the powerline 
devices need to be plugged into power outlets.
