LEDs Are Off When the PowerLINE Device

Is Plugged In

The common reason the LEDs are off is that power is not being provided to the device.

Make sure that power is supplied to the electrical outlet.

Power LED Is Off

If the Power LED is off, the adapter is not receiving electrical power. You can try several

troubleshooting tips.

Try these steps:

1. Make sure that power is supplied to the electrical outlet and that the PowerLINE

device is not plugged into an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector.

2. Press the button on the PowerLINE device for two seconds to return the device to

its factory default settings.

Power LED Is Amber

If the Power LED is amber, the adapter is in power saving mode. You can investigate

why the adapter is in power saving mode, and wake it.

The adapter enters power saving mode when the Ethernet link is inactive for more than

10 minutes. The Ethernet link is inactive if any of the following occurs:

•

The Ethernet cable is unplugged.

•

The peripheral device that is connected through the Ethernet port is turned off.

•

The PowerLINE adapter is idle.

To wake a PowerLINE device from power saving mode:

1. Connect a powered-on Ethernet device to one end of the Ethernet cable.

2. Connect the PowerLINE device to the other end of the Ethernet cable.

The PowerLINE device returns to normal mode within two seconds.

Pick A Plug LED Is Off, Amber, or Red

If the Pick A Plug LED is off, the PowerLINE devices cannot find each other.
