Chapter 1 - Introduction

This user guide provides details concerning the installation,

conguration and application of COMTREND Corporation’s

PowerGrid 902 Powerline adapter.

ThePowerGrid902istherstofitskindtoincorporatean

AClterwithrearsocket.Itallowsfortheconnectionofthe

adapter to the electrical grid of a home without depriving the

user of a single power outlet.

The PowerGrid 902 is the physical link between Powerline

and Ethernet (10/100M) networks. The design is such that,

on the one hand, it avoids limiting a power socket to just PLC

purposes,andontheotherhand,providesalteredpower

socket to avoid interference from appliances connected to

it.

The front panel of the PowerGrid 902 has two buttons and

three LEDs that allow the user to congure a secure PLC

network without the use of a computer. The Status LED

shows the available level of data throughput in the application

layer.

SPECIAL FEATURES

One Button Security Setup - Automatic generation of

anEncryptionKeyandNetworkIdentierbypressinga

single button!

Throughput Indicator - A tri-color Status LED that

shows estimated data throughput in the application

layer

Rear Socket with AC Filter -Plug the PowerGrid 902

into a power outlet without losing use of the outlet for

other applications.

Chapter 3 - Quick Setup

NOTE: You will need a single PowerGrid 902 unit and Ethernet

cable for each computer, or other device, that you wish to

connect to the Internet.

3.1 Internet Connection

The steps below show how to connect a PowerGrid 902

unit to your modem.

1.Turn on your modem and wait for

the Internet connection to become

active.

2.Plug a PowerGrid 902 unit into the

power socket closest to the modem

as in ﬁgure 1 (at right). The Status

LED on the front panel of the unit

should light up RED.

3. As in ﬁgure 2, connect the

PowerGrid 902 unit to the LAN port

of the modem with an Ethernet

cable. The ETHERNET LED on the

unit should light up GREEN.

PowerGrid 902 units are conﬁgured by default with ﬂexible

network settings.

As a result, when they are plugged into the power mains of

a home they will connect to an already existing PowerGrid

network. If there is no existing network they will create a

new network that will operate smoothly but without enhanced

security features.

This is why it is recommended to reconﬁgure your PowerGrid

902 units to form a secure network (with a unique network

identiﬁer and encryption key). This can be accomplished

using just the front panel buttons on the PowerGrid units. The

following sections describe how to setup a secure network in

this way.

AP UNIT CONFIGURATION

A PowerGrid network consists of one AP (Access Point)

unit connected to multiple EP (End Point) units. The

AP unit controls access to the Internet and connects

the EP units to the network. Follow step 4 (below) to

conguretheAPunit.

4.Asshowningure3,presstheCONFIG/RESETbutton

onthePowerGrid902unit.WaitfortheAP/STBYLED

to start blinking and then release it. Wait another

thirty (30) seconds until it stops blinking and check

theAP/STBYLED.

If the AP/STBY LED is now ON, then setup was

successful and you can now proceed to section 3.2,

whereyouwillconguretheEPunit.

If AP/STBY LED is now OFF, or just keeps blinking,

youmustrstpresstheCONFIG/RESETbuttonfor15

seconds to reset the unit and repeat step 4.

Afterseveralattempts,iftheAP/STBYLEDdoesnot

stay ON, then disconnect the PowerGrid 902 unit from

the modem and the power socket, choose another

unit and repeat the process from step 2.

If all else fails, contact your supplier or service

provider for further assistance.

3.2 Computer Connection

The steps below show how to connect a PowerGrid 902

unit to your computer.

1.Turn on your computer.

2.Plug a PowerGrid 902 unit into the power socket

closest to the computer. The Status LED should light

upRED,asingure1.

3.Connect the PowerGrid 902 to the computer with an

Ethernet cable, see gure3. The ETHERNET LED on

theunitshouldlightupGREEN.
