Troubleshooting
Following are solutions to a few situations you might encounter. If
you do not find a solution in this chapter, contact Asoka USA
Technical Support by phone at (888) 276-5287 or through email at
support@asokausa.com.
Symptom: I can't connect to anything and there are no lights
activated on my PL9660-ETH.
Solution:
1. Unplug the device from the electrical outlet in question.
2. Locate another available outlet in your home.
3. Test the outlet by plugging in another electrical device such as
a lamp or radio.
4. Plug the PL9660-ETH into the working electrical outlet.
5. Check to see if the lights work
6. If the above does not work, the device might be defective.
7. Please contact Technical Support for instructions on returning
the device for repair or replacement.
Symptom: Some of my devices cannot connect to the Internet or
other computers in my network. The lights seem to be functionally
normally.
Solution #1:
1. Re-Initialize the PL9660-ETH device.
2. Unplug the PL9660-ETH from the electrical outlet.
3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the device
4. Plug the PL9660-ETH back into the electrical outlet.
5. Reconnect the Ethernet cable.
4–2 Troubleshooting
PlugLink AV 9660 Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide
Solution #2:
The Network Encryption Key (NEK) may not be correct on your devices.
1. Reset the Network Encryption Key using the Factory Reset button located
on the bottom of your PL9660 AV device. This will reset the NEK back to
the default of HomePlug.
2. Test your connection again. If this still does not work, perform the factory
reset on all of your other PL9660 AV devices in your network.
Solution #3:
It is possible some outlets in your home are not connected together.
1. Unplug the PL9660 AV from the current electrical outlet.
2. Locate another outlet in the home.
3. Plug the PL9660 AV into that outlet.
4. Attach a computer to the PL9660 AV.
5. Open the Power Manager Utility (located on the enclosed CD).
6. Under the Profile button, check if your PL9660 AV is displayed (it will be
the first) and see if your other PL9660 AV devices can be seen. If you can
see other devices under the Profile screen, your PL9660 AV device is
functioning properly.
Solution #4:
Your broadband connection may have stopped working.
1. Power down your broadband router and/or DSL/cable modem (if
applicable) for about 30 seconds and then power them back on.
2. If this step fails, please contact your ISP for assistance.

Buttons
The Pluglink AV 9660 device has two hardware push buttons:
•FW RST button - Resets the PlugLinkAV 9660 back to factory default
settings. Press and hold the button with a pin or other sharp object for
about 2 seconds until you see the lights on the device flash briefly.
•NID button - Allows you to set a randomized Network Encryption Key
(NEK) by pressing on it. You can then have additional units use the same
randomized NEK by using their respective NID buttons.
Following is an example of how the button can be used:
1. Select a PlugLink AV 9660 (#1) device in your network. Press and hold the
NID button for 10 seconds. After about 10 seconds, the lights on your
device will blink off briefly and come back on immediately. This will
change the existing Network Encryption Key (NEK) to a randomized NEK.
2. On the PlugLinkAV 9660 (#1) device from Step #1, press and hold the NID
button for about 3 seconds. The power light on the device will begin
flashing. This unit has now been set to allow other units to join the
network and be assigned the same password. This unit will remain in
“adder” mode for about 3 minutes.
3. Before the three minutes have elapsed from Step #2, select another
PlugLink AV 9660 (#2) device from your network. Press and hold the NID
button for about 3 seconds. The power light on the device will blink as
well. The #1 and #2 devices will communicating and the #2 device will
have it's NEK set to the NEK of the #1 device. This should happen in about
15 to 20 seconds. Once the process has been completed, you can then test
if the two devices are communicating.
4. If you add units at a later time, you only need to perform Step #2 (using
any device in the network) and Step #3 (any new devices). Step #1 is not
necessary unless you wish to change your NEK.

The use of the NID button is optional. You may also use the application software
described in the manual to set NEK's as well.
