Buttons
The PlugLink HD AV Adapter device has two hardware push buttons:
•
FW RST (
Firmware Default Reset )
button
– Resets the PlugLink HD AV
Adapter back to factory default settings. Press and hold the button with a
pin or sharp object for about 2 seconds until you see the lights on the device
flash briefly.
•
SECURITY (Network ID) button
– All PlugLink HD AV Adapter devices have a
default password Network Encryption Key (NEK) set to “HomePlugAV”
allowing them to communicate to each other. The SECURITY button allows
you to set a devices’ password to a randomized Network Encryption Key
(NEK) for maximum security. You can then set other devices to the same
NEK by using their SECURITY button. Only units with the same NEK can
communicate to each other.
