Using CrossPower C4L5200 Configuration Utility Software
The CrossPower™ Configuration Utility for C4Line™ CrossPower C4L5200 products
enables the user to find C4L5200 devices on the powerline network, measure data rate
performance and ensure privacy by setting a user defined network private password.
This utility gives you the capability to set up a network password on the local device
connected to the computer where the utility is running. It gives you as well, through the
advanced option, the capability to set up a network password remotely on other
C4L5200 devices through the power line.
It is recommended that the same PC chosen for initial execution of this utility remain the
PC of choice for subsequent network encryption updates. Network setup information
is stored on the PC and is used to facilitate follow-on network encryption sessions.
Before running this utility, make sure that a C4L5200 device is properly installed and
connected to your computer.
