ThePowerGrid902istherstofitskindtoincorporatean
AClterwithrearsocket.Itallowsfortheconnectionofthe
adapter to the electrical grid of a home without depriving the
user of a single power outlet.
The PowerGrid 902 is the physical link between Powerline
and Ethernet (10/100M) networks. The design is such that,
on the one hand, it avoids limiting a power socket to just PLC
purposes,andontheotherhand,providesalteredpower
socket to avoid interference from appliances connected to
it.
The front panel of the PowerGrid 902 has two buttons and
three LEDs that allow the user to congure a secure PLC
network without the use of a computer. The Status LED
shows the available level of data throughput in the application
layer.
SPECIAL FEATURES
One Button Security Setup - Automatic generation of
anEncryptionKeyandNetworkIdentierbypressinga
single button!
Throughput Indicator - A tri-color Status LED that
shows estimated data throughput in the application
layer
Rear Socket with AC Filter -Plug the PowerGrid 902

Chapter 3 - Quick Setup
NOTE: You will need a single PowerGrid 902 unit and Ethernet
cable for each computer, or other device, that you wish to
connect to the Internet.
3.1 Internet Connection
The steps below show how to connect a PowerGrid 902
unit to your modem.
1.Turn on your modem and wait for
the Internet connection to become
active.
2.Plug a PowerGrid 902 unit into the
power socket closest to the modem
as in figure 1 (at right). The Status
LED on the front panel of the unit
should light up RED.
3. As in figure 2, connect the
PowerGrid 902 unit to the LAN port
of the modem with an Ethernet
cable. The ETHERNET LED on the
unit should light up GREEN.
PowerGrid 902 units are configured by default with flexible
network settings.
As a result, when they are plugged into the power mains of
a home they will connect to an already existing PowerGrid
network. If there is no existing network they will create a
new network that will operate smoothly but without enhanced
security features.
This is why it is recommended to reconfigure your PowerGrid
902 units to form a secure network (with a unique network
identifier and encryption key). This can be accomplished
using just the front panel buttons on the PowerGrid units. The
following sections describe how to setup a secure network in
this way.

AP UNIT CONFIGURATION
A PowerGrid network consists of one AP (Access Point)
unit connected to multiple EP (End Point) units. The
AP unit controls access to the Internet and connects
the EP units to the network. Follow step 4 (below) to
conguretheAPunit.

onthePowerGrid902unit.WaitfortheAP/STBYLED
to start blinking and then release it. Wait another
thirty (30) seconds until it stops blinking and check
theAP/STBYLED.

If the AP/STBY LED is now ON, then setup was
successful and you can now proceed to section 3.2,
whereyouwillconguretheEPunit.
If AP/STBY LED is now OFF, or just keeps blinking,
youmustrstpresstheCONFIG/RESETbuttonfor15
seconds to reset the unit and repeat step 4.
Afterseveralattempts,iftheAP/STBYLEDdoesnot
stay ON, then disconnect the PowerGrid 902 unit from
the modem and the power socket, choose another
unit and repeat the process from step 2.
If all else fails, contact your supplier or service
provider for further assistance.
3.2 Computer Connection
The steps below show how to connect a PowerGrid 902
unit to your computer.
1.Turn on your computer.
2.Plug a PowerGrid 902 unit into the power socket
closest to the computer. The Status LED should light
upRED,asingure1.
3.Connect the PowerGrid 902 to the computer with an
Ethernet cable, see gure3. The ETHERNET LED on
theunitshouldlightupGREEN.
