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 PL9677-B1 device.
2. Unplug the PL9677-B1 from the electrical outlet.
3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the device

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 PL9677 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 PL9677-B1 devices in your
network.
Solution #3:
It is possible some outlets in your home are not
connected together.
1. Unplug the PL9677-B1 from the current electrical outlet.
2. Locate another outlet in the home.
3. Plug the PL9677-B1 into that outlet.
4. Attach a computer to the PL9677-B1.
5. Open the Power Manager Utility (located on the enclosed CD).
6. Under the Profile button, check if your PL9677-B1 is displayed (it
Will be the first) and see if your other PL9677-B1 devices can be
seen. If you can see other devices under the Profile screen,
your PL9677-B1 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 Pass-Through-500 device has two hardware push buttons:
• FW RST button – Resets the PlugLinK Pass-Through-500 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 button – All PlugLink AV 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 PlugLinK Pass-Through-500 (Device A) and plug into an AC outlet.
The POWER light indicator should be lit solid green.
a. Press the SECURITY button again BRIEFLY (less than 2.0 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.

3. In about 15 seconds the POWER light will change from flashing green to solid
green and the PLC ACT (Powerline 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!
ADDING A THIRD OR MORE PLUGLINK HD AV DEVICES
1. Plug your new PlugLinK Pass-Through-500(Device C) into an AC outlet. The
POWER light indicator should be lit solid green.
a. Press the SECURITY button again BRIEFLY (less than 2.0 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 (less than 2.0 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 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!
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. If you disconnect power from any device, its NEK value will remain and will
not default back to “HomePlugAV” NEK.
