Common Problems and Solutions

1. None of the LEDs light up after I installed the Yakumo Power E-Net 85.

outlet is working properly.

networked computers.

FAQ
Q: Does the Yakumo Power E-Net 85 cause interference with other home networking
or PowerLine products?
A: No. The Yakumo Power E-Net 85 can co-exist with phoneline and wireless networking
technologies. Instant PowerLine operates in a different frequency band than PowerLine control
and can co-exist with other technologies.
Q: How does the Yakumo Power E-Net 85 handle signal interference between two adjacent homes?
How is eavesdropping prevented?
A: The Yakumo Power E-Net 85 uses 56-bit DES security encryption to ensure network separation
between homes. To enable 56-Bit DES security encryption on Instant PowerLine products, you
must run the PowerLine Configuration Utility on each and every Instant PowerLine product.
