Section 2 - Installation

Understanding PowerLine AV+ 2-port Mini Adapter Security

The PowerLine AV+ 2-port Mini Adapters on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default encryption key

of each PowerLine AV+ 2-port Mini Adapter is HomePlug AV. All PowerLine AV+ 2-port Mini Adapters 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 congured and make sure each device’s encryption key is set to HomePlug AV (default value). If

the encryption key is not set to the default value, press the Simple connect button for 10 seconds for resetting it to the default

value.

2. First Adapter

Press Simple connect button of the rst adapter for no more than three 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+ 2-port Mini Adapter will use.

Section 2 - Installation

3. Second Adapter

Within two minutes of pushing the Simple connect button of the rst adapter, press Simple connect button of second adapter

in your Powerline network for no more than three seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.

Note: Both Simple connect buttons must be pressed within two minutes.

After above network security setup steps, your Powerline network will be securely congured 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 Simple Connect

button for 10 second and then follow the security setup procedure above.

4. Adding More Adapters

If you would like to add more than two adapters, press the button of the additional adapter for no more than three seconds.

The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.

Then press the button of any adapter in your existing Powerline network for no more than two seconds. The Power LED will

start blinking after you release the button.

Note: Both Simple connect buttons must be pressed within two minutes.

After above network security setup steps, your Powerline network will be securely congured with the same network encryption

key.
