Section 2 - Installation

Push Button Security

Plug in all the adapters to be congured.

Note: It is strongly recommended to designate the local adapter as the one that is directly connected to your router. This local adapter will act
as the security key master in the network. Each additional adapter you proceed to add afterwards will be referred to as a ‘remote’ adapter.

Local adapter

Press and hold the push button down until the local adapter AP LED begins to ash. Wait until the AP LED stops ashing (up to 30

seconds). At this point the local adapter is now assigned as the master adapter in your network.

Press and hold the button

To proceed securing the remote adapters follow the 3-step process below

1. Local adapter

Begin by pressing the push button until its AP LED starts to ash. During this ashing phase the adapter is actively waiting for other

adapters to sync

Press and hold the button

Local Adapter

2. Remote (additional) adapters

Push the button on the remote adapter until the AP LED begins ashing. (It is important to ensure the local adapter AP LED is still in the
ashing state while you do this).

Press and hold the button

Section 2 - Installation

3. Synchronization complete

After a few seconds, successful synchronization should occur. This is visible when the remote adapter’s AP LED switches off indicating

that it is securely congured. The local adapter AP LED however, will continue to remain solidly lit and the throughput LED should turn

Green.

Remote Adapter Local Adapter

Note: When adding more adapters, repeat steps 1 to 3. At the end of this process, only the local adapter should have the AP LED lit.

Also, the adapters will keep their security settings even after the power is removed from the units. To reset / switch-off any adapter security
back to default: Depress and hold (up to 15 seconds) the push button until the AP LED turns off. This will reset the unit back to the factory
default settings
