1.3 Standby Mode

You can set your PLA to save on power when there is no Ethernet connection or activity. Use the Web
Configurator's Ethernet screen to set the period of time when the PLA will go into standby mode. Refer
to Section 3.5 on page 22
The PLA's power LED blinks signaling that it is going into standby mode. The Ethernet LED, Encrypted
Pairing LED, and Powerline LED are turned off in standby mode.
Note: While in standby mode, you cannot use the RESET and ENCRYPT buttons. To enable the
RESET and ENCRYPT buttons again, you have to connect the PLA's Ethernet cable to a
computer/notebook or modem/router first. The PLA wakes up from standby mode and
you can start using the RESET and ENCRYPT buttons.

1.4 Ways to Manage the PLA

Use the ENCRYPT button to add PLAs to your G.hn Network. See
using the ENCRYPT feature.
Use the Web Configurator to manage the PLA. See
Web Configurator.

1.5 Expand Your Network with the PLA

Your network can be further expanded by plugging additional PLAs into other outlets in your home and
connecting other computers or network devices (for example, a Smart TV) to them.
