Diagnostic LEDs

Powerline Connections: Powerline LED color indicates the strength and quality of the Powerline connection through the electrical system. The following factors may affect the Powerline network’s connection quality:

• Ground Wire – TPL-421E using all 3 wires for data transmission in accurate

wiring may still supply power to your apparatus and TPL-421E, but will down grade the performance.

• Noise – Generated by appliances which use your electrical system (e.g.

Microwaves, ovens, hair dryer, irons, dishwashers, etc.). The quality of your household electrical wiring may also cause additional noise on your electrical system.

• Distance – Long lengths of electrical wiring through your electrical system

between connected Powerline adapters.

Installing Your Powerline Adapter

Powerline Security

All out-of-the-box TRENDnet HomePlugAV Powerline adapters can be connected to each other without further configuration. To add additional network security to your network, you can change your Powerline network name away from the factory default. With a customized private network name, no one can connect to your Powerline network with an out-of-the-box HomePlugAV adapter.

TRENDnet HomePlugAV certified Powerline adapters have the same

default network name “HomePlugAV”. TRENDnet recommends that you

change the Powerline network name away from the factory default to increase network security. Once configured, the Powerline network name will be saved on device. You can freely unplug the adapter and moved to the other location within its operating range. If a mistake is made in the settings, the adapter can be reset to the factory default settings by pressing the Reset button for 1 second.

If you want to use the default network name for easy connection, skip the synchronization steps and go directly to Physical Installation on page

12.

Scramble your Network Name Away from the Factory Default

There are two ways to change the default network name:

1. (Recommended) Use the physical Sync button on your Powerline

adapter to generate a random private network name. See Connecting the Powerline Adapters in following section.

2. Create a customized private network name for your Powerline

network by using the included Powerline Utility. See The Powerline Utility on page 15.

* If the Powerline adapter settings have been changed, the adapter must be reset to the factory default settings to be recognized by Powerline Utility.

Scramble with the Sync button

1. Make sure your TPL-421E is powered on and not in sleep mode.

2. The physical Sync button on the Powerline adapter provides an easy

way to change the network name. Push and hold the Sync button for 15 seconds. All LEDs will turned off and then turned on again. This will generate a new random network name for your Powerline adapter.

TRENDnet User’s Guide TPL-421E/TPL-421E2K

Before Physical Installation

It is recommended that you create the Powerline data connection next to each other before physically install the Powerline adapter to the outlet you want. With this practice, you can have ample time to do the synchronization with the side by side Powerline adapter instead of running around to different rooms. And, you can make sure your Powerline adapters are properly setup and working good in your electric network.

Note: If you don’t want to change the use the default network name for easy connection, skip the following steps and go directly to Physical Installation on page 12

Connecting the Powerline Adapters

1. Make sure your Powerline adapter is powered on and not in sleep

mode. The Power LED should be on.

2. Scramble the first Powerline adapter by pushing Sync button for 15

seconds. All LEDs will turned off and then turned on again. This will generate a new random network name for your Powerline adapter.

3. Make sure the second Powerline adapter is powered on and plug in

the same electric network. No power strip, power break, or any kind of power switch in between.

5. Push and hold the Sync button on the second Powerline adapter for

2 seconds and release it. The Power LED will start blinking. The adapter will request for synchronizing. All LEDs will turn off and turn back on in the end of the session. The Powerline LED will turn on when the adapters are connected successfully.

Connecting Additional Powerline Adapters

Follow up the same steps described in the last section. You can choose any one of the Powerline adapter already connected as the first adapter. Start the synchronization session on that Powerline adapter first. And then start the synchronization session on the additional Powerline adapter.

Start connecting

4. Push and hold the Sync button on the first (the one with scrambled

network name) Powerline adapter for 2 seconds and then release it. The Powerline adapter is starting a 2 minutes synchronization session. It will accept the other synchronization request on the same electric network. The Power LED will start blinking showing it is in synchronizing.

TRENDnet User’s Guide TPL-421E/TPL-421E2K

Physical Installation

With the synchronized Powerline adapters or the out-of-box adapters, now you can set up your Powerline adapters to the location you want your network extends to.

There are several location choosing considerations of where you will install your Powerline adapters.

• Avoid plugging the adapters into power strips, extension cords,

or surge protectors as this may prevent the adapter from functioning correctly or degrade performance.

• Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are

controlled by a light switch to prevent the Powerline Adapter from being turned off accidentally.

• Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are

located near appliances that consume a lot of power (e.g. refrigerators, washers, dryers) as this may degrade performance.

• Make sure there is an available wall power outlet in the room

where the router is installed and also near the router.

• Make sure there is an available wall power outlet in the room

where you want to extend network connectivity.

• For AV2 1200 Powerline adapters, make sure your electric

network has 3 wires properly installed.

1. Plug the Powerline adapter into an available wall power outlet near

your router.

2. Connect the included network cable from the Ethernet port of your

Powerline adapter to an available Ethernet port on your network router.

3. Once the Powerline adapter is installed and connected to your

router, verify that the Power LED is on or blinking and the Ethernet LED is on or blinking.

4. Plug in the second Powerline adapter to an available wall power

outlet in another room near a computer or network device (e.g. game consoles, network-enabled TVs, network attached storage, network media server/players, etc.) you want to connect to your network.

TRENDnet User’s Guide TPL-421E/TPL-421E2K

5. Connect one end of the included Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port

on your Powerline adapter and then connect the other end to the Ethernet port on your computers or another network enabled device.

6. After the additional Powerline adapter is connected and installed to

your computer or network device, wait for the Power LED to turn on. After the Power LED turns on, verify that the Powerline LED is on or blinking, and the Ethernet LED is on or blinking.

Create Multiple Powerline Networks

It is possible to create multiple Powerline networks on the same electric system separated and grouped by different network names. The Powerline networks will work and communicate independently of each other which can provide security between different groups of Powerline adapters. For example, if you have five Powerline adapters (adapter A through E), you can group adapters A, B, and C together on one Powerline network and group adapters D and E on a different Powerline network. Each group will use a different network name.

Scramble the Powerline network name by pressing Sync button for 15 seconds and then add more Powerline adapter in the same group with steps described above.

Note: It is recommended that only a maximum of up to 4 Powerline networks can be created per electrical system. Any additional Powerline networks above the recommended may result in significant degradation in Powerline performance.

TRENDnet User’s Guide TPL-421E/TPL-421E2K

Move Powerline adapters between different overlapping powerline networks

Note: Assuming all Powerline adapters are TRENDnet Powerline adapters and for reference in the diagram and this procedure, the adapters will be labeled Adapter A, B, C, D, and E. Adapters A, B, and C are currently connect together to form one Powerline network and adapters D and E form another Powerline network. Adapter B will be disconnected from adapters A and C and connected to adapters D and E.

network name of adapter D and adapter E. All LEDs will turn off and turn back on and the Powerline LED will turn on the when adapters are connected.

1. Push and hold the Reset button on adapter B for 1 second and

release it. All LEDs will turn off and turn back on. This will make adapter B settings to factory default.

2. Push and hold the Sync button on adapter D for 2 seconds and

release it. The Power LED will start blinking.

3. Within 2 minutes, push and hold the Sync button on adapter B for 2

seconds and release it. The Power LED will start blinking. This will establish connectivity between adapter B, adapter D, and adapter E by reconfiguring the network name of adapter B to match the
