Install

the

Utility

(Highly

Recommended)

The

utility

gives

you

the

option

of

setting

a

unique

encryption

Powerline

network

password.

Important

features:

z

The

encryption

password

is

case

‐

sensitive.

(located

on

the

device

label)

z

Each

device

must

be

set

to

exactly

the

same

encryption

password—if

they

are

to

communicate

on

the

same

network.

Powerline

devices

on

different

networks

will

not

be

able

to

communicate.

z

A

default

button

resets

the

encryption

password

to

the

default

password

(HomePlugAV).

z

The

encryption

password

can

protect

your

network

from

unauthorized

access

through

the

Powerline

network.

z

A

device

password

is

printed

on

each

Powerline

product.

This

is

not

the

network

password,

but

you

are

required

to

enter

it

if

you

are

setting

the

network

password

with

another

Powerline

adapter

device.

To

the

Powerline

you

install

the

Powerline

encryption

utility

on

the

computer
