Push Button Security

Understanding PowerLine AV Network Security

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

Adapter 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. PowerLine AV 500 Adapter

Press the Simple Connect button on the 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

will use.

2. Additional Adapters in your existing PowerLine Network

Within two minutes of pushing the Simple Connect button of the PowerLine AV adapter, press the Security Button on any

additional 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 buttons must be pressed within two minutes.

3. PowerLine Network

After the 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 seconds and then follow the security setup procedure above.
