Chapter 5 LEDs and Troubleshooting

PLA-4xx Series User’s Guide

1 Check the hardware connections. See the Quick Start Guide.

2 Inspect your cables for damage. Contact the vendor to replace any damaged cables.

3 Check the Ethernet adapter on your computer and make sure it’s enabled and working

properly.

4 If the PLA-4xx is connected to an Ethernet switch or router, make sure the device is

working correctly, and that the LAN network is working and configured correctly as

well.

V The LINK LED does not turn on.

1 Use the PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility to detect all other HomePlug devices on

your powerline network. Make sure that the network password is the same on all of your

powerline adapters.

2 Check the DAK and MAC address for all powerline adapters are typed correctly.

3 Make sure that all your powerline adapters are HomePlug AV compliant. Check the

package it came in or ask your vendor. This PLA-4xx can not detect earlier versions of

HomePlug powerline adapters such as HomePlug 1.0 or 1.0.1. (Although they can

coexist on the same electrical wiring without interfering with each other.)

4 Make sure that the powerline adapters on your network are all on the same electrical

wiring. Connect another powerline adapter into an outlet close to your PLA-4xx’s power

outlet. They are probably now on the same electrical wiring. Check the Link LED. If

it now lights up your powerline adapter was probably previously on separate electrical

wiring. Ask an electrician for more information on the electrical wiring in your building.

5 If your powerline network is using coaxial cable, check all powerline adapters are on the

same coaxial cable.

6 If your powerline network is using electrical wiring (not coaxial cable), check you do not

have a power meter between powerline adapters. Powerline signals cannot pass this.

5.3 Configuration Utility Problems

V The PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility displays an error during installation.

• Make sure your computer is using Windows XP or Windows Vista (32-bit) operating

system. At the time of writing, this is the only compatible operating system for the

configuration utility.

V The PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility does not display all or any of my

devices.
