I
NTRODUCTION
The Encryption Management Utility for
PLC
products
enables the user to find
PLC
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
PLC
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
PLC
device is properly installed and connected to
your computer.
