PLA4231 User’s Guide

Use the RESET/ENCRYPT button to automatically set up a secure powerline connection between 
your powerline devices.

The RESET/ENCRYPT button allows you to set up a secure powerline connection with other 
HomePlug AV compliant powerline devices which also support the ENCRYPT feature. No other 
powerline setting changes are required to connect.

 You can use the RESET/ENCRYPT button to:

• set up a new powerline network.
• separate an existing powerline network into multiple networks.
• reset the PLA4231 to the factory defaults.

You can connect a number of devices on a powerline network, but you can use the RESET/
ENCRYPT button on only two devices at a time. 

Place a powerline device close to another powerline device 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 your computer or modem (or other networking equipment) if you 
need to move them close to each other, but the powerline devices need to be plugged into power 
outlets.

Follow the steps below to set up your HomePlug AV Network:

Press and hold the RESET/ENCRYPT button at the side of your powerline device for 5 to 8 seconds 
and then release it. This resets the network name to a random value and removes your device from 
any network it may belong to.
