The USB Powerline Adapter receives power from the USB port on your PC – so the PWR LED will
come on when you connect this Adapter to the USB port – not when you connect it to the power
outlet in the wall. The power cord that is connected to the power outlet is simply to link that PC
to the Powerline network.
Resetting the Powerline Adapter
To reset the SMC EZ Connect Powerline Adapter you will need to use the EZ Configuration Utility to
reset the password to the default setting of [HomePlug].
