Blue, flashing The terminal is being registered to the master. Blue, flashes once every 5 or 10 secondsThe adaptor is registered to the master, but it is not connected to the HD-PLC network. Blue, turns off once every 10 secondsThe master has detected another master adaptor. In this situation, performance will be affected by the presence of the other master adaptor. Red, lit for 5 secondsThere was an error during registration. Try again. Red, lit The adaptor is not functioning properly and cannot communicate over the HD-PLC network. Contact an authorized Panasonic service center. Off The adaptor is not plugged in. The adaptor is not connected to the HD-PLC network (no other adaptors found, not configured, etc.). LANGreen, lit A LAN cable is connected to the adaptor. Green, flashing Data is being sent/received. Orange, lit There is no network device connected to the adaptor via the LAN cable, or the network device is not turned on. Off The adaptor is not plugged in. MASTERGreen, lit The adaptor is configured as the master. Green, flashes for 10 secondsA terminal has been successfully registered to the master. Off The adaptor is not configured as the master.

12 Useful Information Resetting an adaptor Normally an adaptor does not need to be reset, however, you may need to reset an adaptor if: You are concerned that another adaptor may have been accidentally registered to your master. (For example, the adaptor of someone who lives in the same apartment building as you.) An error occurs while registering a terminal to the master. You are registering an adaptor Note Resetting a terminal erases its registration to the master. It must be registered to the master again in order to be used. If the master is reset, all terminals must be registered to the master again in order to be used. Follow the procedure below to reset an adaptor. 1.Press the FACTORY DEFAULT RESET button on the adaptor for about 3 seconds. The adaptor’s indicators will begin flashing. 2.Once the adaptor’s indicators stop flashing, the adaptor has been reset. Do not disconnect or unplug the AC cord for 30 seconds.

13[For assistance, please call: 1-800-272-7033] Useful Information Troubleshooting Performance issues The troubleshooting notes in this section are provided to resolve the following types of performance issues. Inability to transmit data over the HD-PLC network Slow data transmission speeds (interrupted video or audio, slow download speeds, etc.) Intermittent or varied performance (faster at certain times, slower at others) Interference caused by an adaptor The PLC indicator is not lit in blue even though you have registered the adaptor. Troubleshooting notes In most cases, performance issues such as those listed above can be resolved by performing the following troubleshooting notes. Each note contains several steps. After you perform each step, test the terminal’s network speed (see page 10) to see if the issue has been resolved. For more information, access the Panasonic PLC Support Site at: http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/plc/ Troubleshooting note #1: Adaptor issues Perform each step until the performance issue is solved. 1.Confirm that the AC cords of both the master and terminal adaptor are connected to the wall outlet. If an adaptor’s LAN indicator is not lit, the adaptor is not receiving power. 2.Confirm that all LAN cables are securely connected to each adaptor. Use quality LAN cables. Also confirm that other network devices (routers, hubs, etc.) are turned on as well as properly connected and configured. 3.Disconnect the AC cord from the master and/or terminal adaptor, then connect it again to restart the adaptor. 4.Try connecting the master and/or terminal adaptor to a different wall outlet. 5.If you are not able to connect an adaptor’s AC cord directly to a wall outlet and must use a power strip, make sure the power strip is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not to another power strip. 6.Make sure the power strip does not have a noise filter or a surge protector, as these features may interfere with the performance of your adaptors. 7.Use a power strip with an AC cord that is as short as possible. 8.Re-register the terminal following the procedure on page 7. If you are still experiencing performance issues, continue to the next troubleshooting note. BL-PA100A_OI.book Page 13 Thursday, March 16, 2006 4:14 PM
14 Useful Information Troubleshooting note #2: Eliminating interference caused by other appliances Perform each step until the performance issue is solved. 1.Identify potential electrical noise emitting appliances, and unplug them (if possible) briefly while you test the adaptor’s network speed. The following appliances are more likely to produce noise: Battery chargers (including cell phone chargers) Hair dryers Vacuum cleaners Lights or lamps which have a dimmer switch or a touch-sensitive on/off feature Power drills 2.If unplugging a device seems to resolve the adaptor’s performance issue, connect the device to a different wall outlet. 3.If connecting the device to a different wall outlet does not resolve the performance issue, connect the device to a noise filtering power strip with an AC cord that is at least 3 m (about 10 ft.) long. Troubleshooting note #3: Eliminating interference caused by an adaptor This product may interfere with the following appliances: Short wave radios Lights or lamps which have a touch-sensitive on/off feature Other PLC adaptors which do not use the HD-PLC standard Perform each step until the performance issue is solved. If the following steps do not resolve the issue, refer to the Panasonic PLC Support Site at: http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/plc/ or call our customer call center at 1-800-272-7033. 1.Make sure that the appliance is not plugged into the same wall outlet as an adaptor. 2.Move the appliance away from any nearby adaptors. 3.Connect the appliance to a power strip. 4.For short wave radios, place the radio near a window.
