Part Names

BL-PA300A/PA300KTA

(1) PLC Indicator

Lights to indicate that the adaptor is connected to the HD-PLC network.

(2) LAN Indicator

Lights when a LAN cable is connected to the adaptor, and flashes when data is being sent or received.

(3) Master Indicator

Lights when the adaptor is configured as the master.

(4) Setup Button

Used to register the adaptor or test the terminal's network speed.

(5) Factory Default Reset Button

Used to reset the adaptor and erase its registration.

(6) LAN Jack

Connects the adaptor to a network device, such as a broadband router, hub, computer, etc.

(7) Mode Selector

The position of this selector during registration determines whether the adaptor is used as the master or as a terminal.
