Overview

The PLA491 connects a HomePlug AV powerline network,

which uses your electrical wiring, to your LAN (and Internet

gateway).

The PLA491’s power outlets have Electromagnetic Interference

(EMI) filters which reduce interference on the power circuit from

electrical applicances such as cell phone chargers. EMI can

cause a reduction in the speed of your powerline network.

"Please note your power outlets and power plugs

may differ to the ones shown in this Quick Start

Guide.

ENGLISH

This Quick Start Guide covers the following:

1Hardware Connections

2Set Up Your Powerline Network

3Set Up a HomePlug AV Network with ENCRYPT

See the User’s Guide on the included CD for details on all of

the PLA491’s features. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM, if a

screen does not pop-up, use Windows Explorer (My

Computer) to go to the CD-ROM (commonly drive D) and

browse for the User’s Guide.

"Your PLA491 is only compatible with HomePlug

AV products with the latest firmware. You can

upgrade your other ZyXEL HomePlug AV

products by downloading the latest firmware

from the ZyXEL website (www.zyxel.com).

ENGLISH

1 Hardware Connections

1Use an Ethernet cable to connect a LAN port on the

PLA491 to an Internet gateway (for example a DSL

modem).

2Use an Ethernet cable to connect another LAN port on the

PLA491 to a computer.

3Connect the attached power cord on the PLA491 to a

power outlet. This is also your powerline connection. Do

not connect the power cord to the PLA491’s power outlets.

INTERNET

ENGLISH

4Connect electrical devices that cause high amounts of

EMI such as cell phone chargers to the PLA491’s power

outlets. Do not connect other powerline adapters to these

outlets.

5To turn on the PLA491 powerline adapter set the

HomePlug switch on top of the PLA491 into the On

position. The red light should turn on.

6To turn on the PLA491’s power outlets set the AC switch

on top of the PLA491 into the On position. The red light

should turn on.

ENGLISH

1.1 Look at the LEDs (lights)

The power ( ) light should be on and the Ethernet ( ) light

should be on or blinking.

VIf the ()light is not on, check your power

connections. If that does not work, check your

outlets are working properly. Unplug the PLA491

and plug in another electrical appliance that you

know works. This checks if the power outlet is

working properly.

ENGLISH

VIf the ()light is not on, check all Ethernet

cables are securely connected. If that does not

work, check the Ethernet cables you are using

are category 5 or higher. Most cables are

labeled with their specifications.

2 Set Up Your Powerline Network

You can expand your network by connecting another

HomePlug AV powerline adapter to an outlet on the same

electrical circuit as the PLA491.

In the figure above, computer Acan now access the Internet

via the powerline link (B) and the Internet gateway (C)

connected to the PLA491. (This figure is an example only, you

can connect almost any networking device to your powerline

adapters.)

for example

ENGLISH

• If the HomePlug ( ) lights turn on, your HomePlug AV net-

work is ready for use.

• If the HomePlug ( ) lights do not turn on, or if you want to

make your network more secure, go to the next section to set

up a HomePlug AV network using the ENCRYPT button. If

your powerline devices do not have the ENCRYPT button,

see the User’s Guide for instructions on setting up a secure

powerline network.

3 Set Up a HomePlug AV Network with

ENCRYPT

Use the ENCRYPT button to set up a secure connection

between your PLA491 and another HomePlug AV product with

an ENCRYPT button (The PLA-400 v2 is shown in the following

figure as an example).

1Place the powerline devices close to each other, so you

have time to set up each one. After you set up the first

powerline device, you have 120 seconds to set up the

second powerline device.

• You can disconnect them from the computer or modem (or

other networking product) if you need to, but the powerline

devices need to be plugged into power outlets.

ENGLISH

2Press the ENCRYPT button at the rear of your powerline

device for 1-2 seconds. The power ( ) light will blink as

the powerline device tries to set up a connection.

• If the power ( ) light does not blink, you have probably

pressed the ENCRYPT button for too long. Try again, press-

ing the ENCRYPT button for 1-2 seconds.

3Repeat step 2in this section for the other powerline

device you wish to connect. This must be done within 120

seconds of pressing the ENCRYPT button on the PLA491.

4Check the lights on the two powerline devices. The power

( ) and HomePlug ( ) lights should be blinking.

Occasionally all lights may blink at the same time and the

HomePlug ( ) light may also show red. Wait for roughly

one minute while your powerline devices connect.

• If the HomePlug ( ) lights on both powerline devices do

not light up, the powerline devices are not connected.

Repeat steps 2and 3in this section. If that doesn’t work,

1...2

ENGLISH

use the PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility. See the User’s

Guide for more information.

5To add more powerline devices to your network, repeat

steps 2and 3in this section using a powerline device

connected to your HomePlug AV network and the

powerline device you want to add to the network.

6If you disconnected your computer or modem (or any

other networking product connected to your powerline

device) in step 1of this section, you can now reconnect

them.

This sets up a home network between the two powerline

devices (or more) and any products you have connected to

your powerline devices, such as your home computer or

network modem. If you have correctly set up an Internet

connection, you can now use your computer to access the

Internet.

Troubleshooting

If the light is off.

• Make sure the PLA491’s power cord is connected to a suit-

able power source and that the HomePlug switch on top of

the device is set to ON.

• Try moving the second powerline adapter to an adjacent

power outlet (to the PLA491) and see if the light dis-

plays. If the light shines this time, possibly your powerline

adapters were not on the same electrical circuit.
