Understanding Powerline AV Network Security
The Powerline AV Network Starter Kit on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default encryption key of each Powerline AV
Network Starter Kit is HomePlugAV. All Powerline AV Network Starter Kits with default encryption key can communicate with each other.
It’s recommended to create a private encryption key for network security purpose. The private encryption key allows you to protect your network
from unauthorized access via the Powerline network. To create a private encryption key instead of the default encryption key, please follow below
steps:
1. All Adapters
Plug in all the adapters to be congured and make sure each device’s encryption key is set to HomePlugAV (default value).
If the encryption key is not set to the default value, press the Reset button for 1 second or use Powerline AV Utility on your
CD for resetting it to the default value.
2. First Adapter
Press Security button of the rst adapter for no more than two seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you release
the button. The adapter will create a private, randomly generated encryption key that each Powerline AV Network Starter
Kit will use.
3. Second Adapter
Within two minutes of pushing the Security button of the rst adapter, press Security button of second adapter in your
Powerline network for no more than two seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.
Note: Both Security buttons must be pressed within two minutes.
4. Second Adapter
After above network security setup steps, your Powerline network will be securely congured with the same network
encryption key. The adapters will memorize the security settings even if they are unplugged.
Note: To change the private encryption key, please reset the adapter back to its default value by pressing the Reset button for 1 second and then
follow the security setup procedure above.
