The perfect complement for a Wi-Fi connection

Powerline adapters are the ideal way of creating a home network or

complementing an existing Wi-Fi connection.

By providing a secure high speed connection and great service quality,

Powerlines allow you to watch Standard and High Denition (HD)

movies as well as play online games without interruption or pixilation;

share photos, music and other media stored on a PC or compatible

storage device anywhere in your home.

Powerline Adapters will help you reach those areas of your home where

Wi-Fi signal is either too weak or cannot reach.

Other usages of Powerline adapters include IP-CCtv surveillance

cameras, setting up an ofce network without the need to add more

wires or rewire if you change your ofce conguration.

Ethernet Port:

Powerlines use an Ethernet port to connect

through an Ethernet cable to the device you

wish to add to your network. One end of the

Ethernet cable is connected to the Powerline

adapter, while the other end is connected to

your device.

Front and rear plugs

Comtrend Powerline adapters are the rst ones in the UK market to

bring a fully BS1363 certied female plug; so choosing a Comtrend

Powerline PG902 means you can still safely use your electrical outlet.

How to install the PowerGrid 902

Comtrend’s PG902 starter kit, supplied in pairs, comes ready to use;

the Powerline adapters are paired in our factory so they will recognize

each other, which makes setup this easy:

1. Plug both PG902 adapters into an electrical socket

a. One next your router (or modem)

b. One next to the device you will connect to your network

2. The Status LEDs on both PG902 adapters will light up RED

3. When the Status LEDs are both GREEN the adapters are ready

to use

Pick the PG902 adapter with a serial number ending with the letter “A”.

The serial number can be found on the label at the back of the adapter.

This is the Access Point (AP). Connect the AP to your router with an

Ethernet cable, as shown here.

Connect the other PG902 to your computer, V-box or other network

device using an Ethernet cable. This is the End Point (EP).

Shortly, you will see the Ethernet LED blinking; this indicates that there

using your network.

How to use a power strip with the PG902

If you are planning to use a power strip we recommend that you plug

the power strip in to the Powerline and not the Powerline into the power

strip. If you must plug your adapter into a power strip, we suggest you

use a basic power strip as the more advanced ones have a lter that

can interfere with the Powerline signal.

How to add a new Powerline to your existing network

Comtrend Powerline pairs are paired in the factory for your convenience

and security. However if you need to add more adapters to your existing

network you will need to follow some easy steps in order to keep your

network secure. The following procedure applies to both Powerline

DH10PF and PG902 adapters.

MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF YOUR POWERLINES ARE CONNECTED

TO THE MAINS.

Step 1: Identify the current AP

(access point) adapter. From your

current adapters the one with the

AP LED in green will be the AP

adapter.

NOTE: If you performed a factory reset on the AP adapter (see step 2), it

is now an EP adapter. In this case, you will need to assign it as an

AP (see FAQ on pg. 9).

Step 2: Reset the new Adapter to its

factory settings: this is to make sure your

new adapter is set as an EP (end point).

Press the CONFIG/RESET button for

10 seconds. All LEDs will turn OFF and

the STATUS LED will be RED.

Step 3: On your AP adapter (Step 1),

press the CONFIG/RESET button until

the AP LED starts blinking.

Step 4: On the NEW EP adapter you

are adding to your network (step 2),

press the CONFIG/RESET button

until the AP LED starts ashing. The

NEW EP adapter AP LED will ash 3

times and the STATUS LED will turn

ON.

Wait until the AP LED on the AP

adapter (step 1) stops blinking.

You have now added your NEW EP adapter to your network.

Repeat the same steps for each new adapter you want to add to your

network.

How to understand the STATUS LED colours

The STATUS LED provides important information that will provide

solutions to common questions, such as why a High Denition (HD)

movie is not showing or shows with pixels. The STATUS LED indicator

will vary its colour depending on the estimated speed of the Powerline

connection. The speed is measured in Megabits Per Second (Mbps).

Colour Information

RED

The current connection is less than 4Mbps, normal internet

activities are possible but the Powerline is unable to transmit

either Standard Movies or High Denition (HD) Movies

ORANGE

The current connection is greater than 4Mbps and less than

10Mbps, normal internet activities are possible and the

network is able to transmit a single Standard Movie but not

an HD Movie.

GREEN

The current connection is greater than 10Mbps; the

Powerline is capable of transmitting Standard and HD

Movies as well as normal internet activities.

NOTE: If the HDTV video bandwidth is lower than 10Mbps, it may be pos-

sible to stream the video with an ORANGE STATUS LED in some

cases.
