Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA
PLA Series User’s Guide

1.3 Standby Mode (Power Saving Mode)
Your PLA is a certified green product. It goes into standby mode when there is no Ethernet
connection.
When you plug the PLA into an electric socket, it waits for an Ethernet connection. When no
connection is detected after three minutes, the Power LED blinks indicating that it is going into
standby mode.
The same process occurs when you disconnect the PLA from a previously working Ethernet
connection. Three minutes after disconnecting the Ethernet cable, the PLA’s power LED blinks
signalling that it is going into standby mode.
The Ethernet and HomePlug LEDs are turned off in standby mode.
While in standby mode, you cannot use the RESET/ENCRYPT button. To enable the RESET/
ENCRYPT button again, you have to connect the PLA’s Ethernet cable to a computer/notebook or
modem/router first. The PLA wakes up from standby mode and you can start using the RESET/
ENCRYPT button.
1.4 Ways to Manage the PLA
Use the RESET/ENCRYPT button to add powerline devices to your powerline network if they have
this button. See Chapter 2 on page 12 for instructions on using the ENCRYPT feature.
Use the ZyXEL PLA Series Configuration utility (or utility, for short) to manage the PLA. See
Chapter 3 on page 19 for instructions on installing the utility.
1.5 Expand Your Network with the PLA
The PLA plugs into an ordinary power outlet to easily extend a cable or DSL broadband connection
or existing Ethernet (LAN) network to any other electrical outlet in any room of a house, all without
the need for any new cabling. Devices can securely communicate with each other at high data
transfer rates. The PLA uses 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to ensure safe transfer of
information.
