Utility

To create a powerline + PoE network, simply connect the PLC Adapter
and PLC+PoE Adapter, the PL-502P, to AC wall power outlets that

are on the same electrical system. No additional conguration in the

powerline network is necessary.

Follow the steps below to install the PL-502P in the house

Step 2: To secure your powerline network:

1. Hold down the PAIR/RST (or Security) button for 1~3
seconds on the rst PLC Adapter.

2. Within 2 minutes, hold down the PAIR/RST button for
1~3 seconds on the PL-502P.

3. The Power LED starts to blink.

4. After successful setup, the Power LED will remain
solid and the Powerline LED will start blinking.

Step 3: 1. Connect the Ethernet port of PLC Adapter to your home

router, NVR (Network Video Recorder) or PC’s Ethernet
port via the UTP cable.

2. Connect the PoE Ethernet port of the PL-502P to the
PoE PD via the UTP cable.

Step 4: Verify the LEDs’ status of the PL-502P. If your PoE PD

is successfully powered up and can establish the Ethernet
data link with remote PC or NVR, then that means the
remote PLC Adapter and the PL-502P work ne.
