The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense. Modifying the equipment without Asoka’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference or radio or television communications at your own expense. You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Asoka equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:  Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.  Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.  Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.  Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio is on circuits controlled by difference circuit breakers or fuses.)

Asoka® User Guide PlugLink PL7667-MST Page 13 of 39 Chapter 4 Installation This chapter describes how to install your CPE device and how to interpret the LEDs to ensure proper operation. Read the topics, and perform the procedures in the following order:  Preparing for Installation  Warnings  Safety Instructions  Installing the CPE  Connecting to a 10/100 Port  Wall mounting the CPE Preparing for Installation If you mount the CPE to a power outlet, use the screws supplied with the CPE. There are no serviceable parts inside the unit. Removing the screws, cover, or otherwise dismantling the unit voids the warranty. Warnings  Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.  Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.  Before working on the equipment that is connected to power lines, remove all jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.  The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main disconnecting device.  To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 104ºF (40ªC).  This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (over current) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A International) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
Asoka® User Guide PlugLink PL7667-MST Page 14 of 39  A voltage mismatch can cause equipment damage and may pose a fire hazard. If the voltage indicated on the label is different from the power outlet voltage, do not connect the device to that receptacle.  Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.  Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Safety Instructions Read these safety instructions carefully.  Read all cautions and warnings on the equipment.  Plug this equipment directly into a power outlet. No power strips and no extension cords.  Make sure the equipment is connected to the right voltage.  For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be accessible.  Place the Ethernet cord where people cannot step on it. Do not place anything over the Ethernet cord.  Disconnect this equipment from the power outlet before cleaning it. Do not use liquid or sprayed detergent for cleaning. Use moisture sheet or cloth for cleaning.  Keep this equipment from excessive humidity.  The openings on the enclosure are for air convection and protect the equipment from overheating. Do not cover the openings.  If the equipment will not be used for a long period of time, disconnect the equipment from the power outlet to avoid any damage from transient over-voltage.  Do not pour any liquid into opening. This could cause fire or electrical shock.  Do not open the equipment casing. For safety reasons, the equipment should only be opened by qualified service personnel.  Have the equipment checked by a service professional if one of the following situations arises: • The plug is damaged. • Liquid has entered the equipment. • The equipment has been exposed to moisture. • The equipment does not work properly, or you cannot get it to work according to user’s manual. • The equipment has been dropped or damaged. • The equipment has obvious signs of breakage. • Do not leave this equipment in an unconditioned environment. Temperatures above 45ªC (113ªF) can damage the equipment. • Keep this guide for later reference. Installing the CPE

Asoka® User Guide PlugLink PL7667-MST Page 33 of 39 Chapter 8 Reset and network of PLC The PL7667-MST device has two hardware push buttons: FW RST (Firmware Default Reset ) button – Resets the PL7667-MST back to factory default settings. Press and hold the button with a pin or sharp object for about 2 seconds until you see the lights on the device flash briefly. SECURITY (Network ID) button – All PL7667-MST devices have a default password Network Encryption Key (NEK) set to “HomePlugAV” allowing them to communicate to each other. The SECURITY button allows you to set a devices’ password to a randomized Network Encryption Key (NEK) for maximum security. You can then set other devices to the same NEK by using their SECURITY button. Only units with the same NEK can communicate to each other. SETTING A RANDOMIZED NETWORK PASSWORD 1. Select a PL7667-MST (Device A) and plug into an AC outlet. The POWER light indicator should be lit solid green. a. Press the SECURITY button BRIEFLY (1 second) and release. The POWER light should now be blinking green. b. IMPORTANT: If the POWER light is not blinking green, repeat Step “a” until the power light blinks green. c. This unit is now ready to create a new randomized NEK (Net Encryption Key) network. This unit will remain in this “adder” mode for about 2 minutes. 2. Select PL7667-ETH(Device B) or PL7667-SW (Device B) and plug into a second outlet. a. Press the SECURITY button BRIEFLY (1 second) and release. The POWER light should now be blinking green. b. IMPORTANT: If the power light is not blinking green, repeat Step “a” until the power light is blinking green. 3. In about 15 seconds the POWER light will change from flashing green to solid green and the PLC ACT (Power line Communication Activity) light will turn solid green (flashing green when there is data traffic) indicating they are synchronized with the same NEK. 4. Congratulations, you are done! Ethernet light PLC ACT light Power light Device A Device B

The POWER light indicator should be lit solid green. a. Press the SECURITY button BRIEFLY (1 second) and release. The POWER light should now be blinking green. b. IMPORTANT: If the POWER light is not blinking green, repeat Step “a” until the power light is blinking green. c. This unit is now ready to join the existing HD AV network. This unit will remain in this “adder” mode for about 2 minutes. 2. From your existing devices (either device A or device B) press the SECURITY button BRIEFLY (1 second) then release. The POWER light should now be blinking green. d. IMPORTANT: If the power light is not blinking green, repeat Step “2” until the power light is blinking green. 3. In about 15 seconds the POWER light will change from flashing green to solid green and Device A Device B Device C Ethernet light PLC ACT light Power light
Asoka® User Guide PlugLink PL7667-MST Page 35 of 39 the PLC ACT (Power line Communication Activity) light will turn solid green (flashing green when there is data traffic) indicating they are synchronized with the same NEK. 4. To add more PlugLink devices; simple repeat this process per device. 5. Congratulations, you are done! Figure 8-2 Three devices of PLC Notes: 1. The other devices already in the Power line network with the proper NEK are not affected and do not need to be reconfigured. 2.
