Understanding Powerline AV Mini Easy Adapter Security

Powerline AV Mini Easy Adapters must use the same encryption key in order to be on the same network. The default encryption

key of each Powerline AV Mini Easy Adapter is HomePlug AV. All Powerline AV Mini Easy Adapters with default encryption key

can communicate with each other.

It’s recommended to create a private encryption key for network security purposes. The private encryption key allows you to

protect your network from unauthorized access via the Powerline network. To create a private encryption key, please follow

the steps below:

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 to reset it to the default value.

2. First Adapter

Press the 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 Mini Easy Adapter will use.

3. Second Adapter

Push Button Security

10D-Link GO-PL-200/GO-PLK-200 User Manual

Section 2 - Installation

Within two minutes of pushing the Simple connect button of the rst adapter, press the Simple Connect Button on the 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.

Your Powerline network is now securely congured with the same network encryption key. The adapters will remember 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 seconds and then follow the security setup procedure above.

4. Adding More Adapters

If you would like to add more than two adapters, press the Simple Connect Button on the additional adapter for no more than

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

press the Simple Connect 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.

Now your new adapter will be able to connect to your existing Powerline network.
