Push Button Security

Understanding PowerLine AV Network Security

The PowerLine AV 500 Adapter Starter Kit on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default encryption key of each PowerLine

AV 500 Adapter Starter Kit is HomePlugAV. All PowerLine AV devices 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 PowerLine AV 500 adapters to be congured 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 2 second or use PowerLine AV

Utility on your CD for resetting it to the default value.

2. First Adapter

Press the Simple Connect 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 500

Adapter Starter Kit will use.

3. Second Adapter

Within two minutes of pushing the Simple Connect button on the rst adapter, press the Simple Connect button on the

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 Connect buttons must be pressed within two minutes.

4. PowerLine Network

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 Reset button for 2 second and then

follow the security setup procedure above.

5. Adding More Adapters

If you would like to add more than two adapters, press the button on the additional adapter for no more than two seconds. The Power LED will start

blinking after you release the button. Then, press the button on 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 the above network security setup steps, your PowerLine network will

be securely congured with the same network encryption key.
