2.2.2 Push-button pairing on EG301x and Actiontec PWR-500
eGauge model EG301x can be paired with the Actiontec PWR-500 using the push buttons located next to
the Ethernet port on the eGauge, and the underside of the Actiontec adapter. The eGauge’s push button is
internal, so a standard 0.8mm paper clip can be used to activate the push-button located directly behind the
hole. Table 2.1 contains the different push-button actions and timing for the EG301x, and table 2.2 contains
the different push-button actions and timing for the Actiontec PWR-500 HomePlug AV adapter.
1. To begin, verify the Actiontec PWR-500 and EG301x are powered and within communication range of
eachother. The HomePlug adapter does not need to be connected to the internet during this phase.
2. Hold the EG301x reset button for 13 – 16 seconds. The eGauge LED will rapidly blink red and blue.
Let go of the reset pin at this point. The eGauge will be dissociated with any HomePlug networks, and
the LED will alternate between blue and cyan (or solid blue if a static IP is assigned).
3. Hold the Actiontec PWR-500 reset button for 5 – 10 seconds. All LEDs will turn off momentarily. The
LNK LED will not be illuminated after this, as the key will be randomized and dissociated with any
HomePlug network communication.
4. Hold the eGauge reset pin for 0.5 – 3 seconds. The status LED will begin to rapidly blink blue and
black. The eGauge is now in join mode.
5. Hold the Actiontec PWR-50 reset button for 0.5 – 3 seconds. The PWR LED will alternate on and off
until it is paired or it times out.
The devices will pair. This can take 5 – 120 seconds depending on the signal strength. The eGauge status
LED will show green, indicating a good HomePlug link. The LK LED on the HomePlug will also illuminate,
indicating a HomePlug link.
