Chapter 2 Installing the Utility
When you plug the PLA4201 into an electric socket, it waits for an Ethernet connection. When no
connection is detected after sixty (60) seconds, the Power LED blinks indicating that it is going into
Low Power mode.
The same process occurs when you disconnect the PLA4201 from a previously working Ethernet
connection. Sixty (60) seconds after disconnecting the Ethernet cable, the PLA4201's Power LED
blinks signalling that it is going into Low Power mode.
The Ethernet and HomePlug LEDs are turned off in Low Power mode.
While in Low Power mode, you cannot use the RESET/ENCRYPT button. To enable the RESET/
ENCRYPT button again, you have to connect the PLA4201's Ethernet cable to a computer/notebook
or modem/router first. The PLA4201 wakes up from Low Power mode and you can start using the
RESET/ENCRYPT button.
Low Power mode is enabled by default.
