D‑Link announces a fast PowerLine AV Passthrough Mini Adapter which allows you to connect your home computers, networking
devices and gaming devices through the most pervasive medium in your house ‑ the electric powerlines ‑ and share Internet
connections, printers, transfer les, play games, and more.
Features
• Provides Ethernet to Powerline Connection
• Up to 200 Mbps*
• One Ethernet port
• Plug & Play, Easy Installation
• Push Button Security
• Power Saving mode
• Integrated Passthrough Power Socket with Noise Filtering
* Maximum throughput based on theoretical transmission PHY rate. Actual date throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of trac
and network overhead, may lower actual data throughput rate. Interference from devices that emit electrical noise, such as vacuum cleaners and hair dryers, may adversely aect
the performance of this product. This product may interfere with devices such as lighting systems that have a dimmer switch, short wave radios, or other powerline devices
that do not follow the HomePlug AV and IEEE1901 standard. Powerline AV products feature a more ecient processor than current 200 Mbps Powerline AV products to provide
faster speeds.

Understanding PowerLine AV Passthrough Mini Adapter Security
The PowerLine AV Passthrough Mini Adapters on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default encryption
key of each PowerLine AV Passthrough Mini Adapter is HomePlug AV. All PowerLine AV Passthrough 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 congured 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 Passthrough Mini Adapter will use.

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 congured 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 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 congured with the same network encryption
key.
